Guest guest Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hi Bee, I began calcium citrate/magnesium supp's back in Oct (didnt find your site til Jan) b/c a hair analysis showed I was deficient. A recent test showed I had barely absorbed any of the supps, despite 3 months of taking supp's. Is it better to cut the capsules in half, and drink the powder in liquid (I have ordered both in the powder form now). Are they more absorble as powder for someone with malabsorption issues? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hi , Please do not rely on a hair analysis or any other kind of lab tests. Minerals require so many other nutrients in order to be absorbed and utilized which aren't tested. Ensure you are taking the correct amounts of omega 3 and vitamins A & D found in cod liver oil which help absorption. Powdered supplements are easier to absorb than tablets. If you mix powdered minerals in water they will settle to the bottom, so just put them in a spoon, add a little water, and down it, chased by water.
