Important Information on Calcium Stated Values

It has come to our attention, that we carry several calcium citrate products that have questionable label information.

The products themselves have helped many customers stabilize their calcium levels and in some cases improver their T-Scores when bone density is monitored by DEXA scan.

Nature's Science Calcium with D & Magnesium; Calcium 750; SciFit Osteo Enhanced and Global Health UpCal D report calcium amounts as 500 or 750mg Calcium Citrate per serving. These amounts refer to calcium salts and not elemental calcium.  Elemental calcium is approx 1/4 of the total weight of the calcium salts.  Therefore the 500 mg and 750 doses only contain about 125 mg and 190 mg elemental calcium citrate, respectively.  The manufactures say that the label may be misunderstood, but fall into proper regulations for product labeling.  The ORIGINAL UpCal D with the larger scoop and grittier formula was 500mg elemental calcium.

We have been looking into higher dose calcium IN CAPSULE and/or powdered form.  As these products have been recommended by many doctors and clinics we have elected to not remove the products from our shelves until we have an economical alternative.

The real concern is in the results achieved in using these products. They have provided many customers with an easy to use, high quality calcium citrate at an acceptable price.  The proof of effectiveness is in your test results.  However, we want our product labels to reflect more accurately the actual content.
