I have very high confidence in the products at The Life Extension

If you think antacids are a good source of calcium read this...

 

Calcium carbonate is an inexpensive supplement which is an effective source

of calcium for many people, but not for those with inadequate stomach acid

or other absorption problems. Since older people often have such problems,

this product is not recommended as a calcium source for those over 50.

Calcium is a major essential mineral which is often inadequately supplied,

inefficiently absorbed, or excreted faster than is it being assimilated. The

citrate salt of calcium has been documented to be well absorbed and utilized

by the body.

 

Calcium is important in preventing a number of diseases in addition to

osteoporosis. It blocks the absorption into the bloodstream of free radical

generating iron. Reducing iron levels is especially important for hepatitis

C patients who suffer liver cell damage when the hepatitis virus interacts

with iron.

 

Vitamin D3 is included to enhance calcium absorption and utilization.

Recent studies I've read suggest that calcium supplements don't give women

the protection they need from osteoperosis and other bone problems. If

you're not getting it naturally, it would seem, you might as well not

bother. That would be a serious concern for me, since I already have a

debilitating joint disease. Strong, healthy bones are pretty important to

me, so if soy milk isn't going to give me adequate calcium, I'm not even

going to consider it. Does anyone have information on the comparative

calcium contents?
