What kind of calcium and how much does Adora contain?
Adora Calcium is made from calcium carbonate that is highly-purified, meets USP standards, and is tested to ensure it is free of heavy metals. Each disk contains 500 mg of elemental calcium – that is the actual amount of the mineral in every Adora Calcium supplement. And, since the average person can absorb approximately 500 mg of calcium at one time, 1 disk is considered the ideal serving size. We chose calcium carbonate because it is the best source of the mineral since that compound contains the highest percentage of elemental calcium (40%). This means we can get more actual calcium into each disk than if we were to use calcium citrate which only contains 20% calcium. NOTE: Avoid calcium from unrefined oyster shell, bone meal, or dolomite because it may contain high levels of lead or other toxic metals.
