supplements provide a combined total of 150 mg. Should I be concerned about the 850 mg difference?
We reject the idea that more is better, especially in the case of calcium where it has been shown that the more calcium (both from supplements and from dairy) people consume, the more susceptible they may be to bone fractures, kidney stones and calcium deposits in the blood vessels. Like all vitamins and minerals, calcium is best obtained in biologically reasonable amounts from food sources. New Chapter’s dual-stage culturing process converts inorganic calcium salts found in most conventional supplements into a glycoprotein food complex. So while it may look like you are getting less of this essential mineral, you are actually getting a biologically reasonable amount of this important mineral in its ideal supplement form. In addition, our Probiotic Cal Mag also provides bone-strengthening minerals and herbs — a perfect combination to promote normal bone functioning.
