Product Notes:
Calcium helps develop and maintain bones and teeth, of course – especially when we're young. But taking it as a supplement can also help reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis when we're older, particularly when combined with sufficient vitamin D, a healthy diet, and regular exercise.
Ingredients:
Each level teaspoon (5 ml) contains:
1200 mg Calcium (from 3.4 g of Calcium Carbonate)
Non-medicinal ingredients: None. Free of: yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, sugar, salt, starch, preservatives.
Suggested Usage:
Adults: Take 1 level teaspoon daily, with a meal. For best results, blend into 'pulpy' type juices such as tomato or orange juice, although it can also be used in health shakes, smoothies or other types of liquids. Store in a cool, dry place.
Please note, calcium carbonate needs high levels of stomach acid to get properly absorbed, which is why it's recommended that you take it right after eating a meal (which is when your HCl levels will be highest). If you have low stomach acid levels (whether due to age, heartburn medications, or proton-pump inhibitor medications, you would probably be better served by Calcium Citrate.
Warnings:
Avoid using two hours prior to taking other medications, and if you take other medications first, wait four hours before taking NOW Foods Calcium Carbonate Powder.
