Customer Questions & Answers:

What is your calcium derived from? Is it from oyster shell?

Our calcium is derived from limestone, not oyster shell

Do you need to take Vitamin D with Calcium?

Vitamin D helps regulate calcium (and phosphorus) concentrations and aids in the absorption and metabolism of these minerals in the intestine and bone. It also regulates calcium deposits and removal from bone

Should calcium be taken with a meal?

Yes, as calcium is better absorbed with a meal. One needs sufficient acid production to help aid in the digestion of calcium. Therefore by taking calcium with your meal, it will help to stimulate acid production which in turn will help with breaking down calcium to be absorbed by the body

Why do I need to take a calcium supplement?
National nutrient intake data shows 49% of American adults fail to meet the recommended calcium intake through dietary sources.¹ Calcium is an important nutrient, particularly for teens as well as post-menopausal women and older men. There are increased daily intake recommendations for individuals at these specific lifestages including 1300 mg for teens as 1200 mg for post-menopausal women (51 - 70y) and older men (>70y) compared to 1000 mg for adults (19 -50y).² In general, you need to consume three or more servings of calcium per day to meet the daily requirement. One serving would be approximately one 8 ounce cup of milk, 6 ounces of yogurt, or 1 ounce of cheese
