Re: Recommendation for Legal Liquid Calcium Supplement

[Guest guest]

Hi :

" NOW " makes a calcium citrate powder. It is the only ingredient. I mix it with

diluted Tropicana orange juice. You don't need much as it is quite potent.

I rarely tolerate anything in a capsule, and either find a powder form or just

empty the capsules into water or juice or a few times putting it on food. It is

a good way to avoid the illegals found in liquid supplements.

In the past 6 months I have had to start supplementing calcium to improve my

neuromuscular issues, but have had such trouble for years finding a calcium

supplement that doesn't trigger severe and debilitating side-effects,

particularly in my joints and spine. After much testing, I've ended up doing

well on a once-weekly mixed-in-water dose of a cal/mag powder (ordered

mail-order). At least it hasn't triggered the severe side-effects, as long as I

have it only once a week, and my muscles are responding slightly better after

only 3 months of regular doses.

You might look into getting a legal calcium in a powder form and mixing it in

water. That solves the illegal issue. My cal/mag powder has little taste --

and believe me, my oversensitive stomach would notice [grin].

I bought my cal/mag powder at this site:

http://www.mountainnaturals.com/for_people/minerals/cal-mag_citrate_powder_support_bone_health_density/

It is a long url, so if the link gets broken, just go to: www.mountainnaturals.com , click on For People, All products, Minerals, then the cal-mag citrate powder.

There are plenty of places that offer cal/mag powder. I just picked MountainNaturals because there were less ingredients than other brands (my body tolerates a supplement with as few ingredients as possible), and picked the powder over the capsules or tablets because powder works best for me.

My physical therapist strongly recommended cal/mag powder, more for improving muscle response than bones, but I know at my age and with my malabsorption issues I need the calcium. The body needs extra magnesium to absorb the calcium properly, and Vitamin D always helps with the absorption of minerals. So this brand of cal/mag powder seemed worth a try. And for about 3 months now my body has successfully tolerated it once a week, which for me is often and quite a success [grin].

But there are plenty of other places to get cal/mag powder. Just do a google search.

Thanks. Would you mind telling me where you get the cal-mag powder?BTW, I've found out that my stomach issues seem to be related to Canasa, notthecalcium capsules.But a non-irritating source of calcium would be good to have, as well.--

Thanks, Kim.That site had some interesting info on how calcium citrate is better absorbed by people with malabsorption issues.Here's the product flyer:
