Best Calcium Supplements?

 

With the many calcium supplements available to pick from, how do you to determine which are the most beneficial calcium supplement for your needs? Here is a comparison of AlgaeCal Plus and the leading calcium supplements available. (Caltrate, CalMax, PremCal, Coral Calcium, Calcium Carbonate, and Calcium Citrate)

Most calcium supplements are either organic or laboratory-produced, apart from AlgaeCal. The majority of calcium supplements don't contain trace minerals, nor the clinically tested bone-building vitamin combo of D3 K2 and Strontium.

Caltrate Caltrate is an low-cost calcium carbonate product that is typically sold along with vitamin D2, a synthetic version of vitamin D which has been proved by clinical studies to be less efficient than the vitamin D3 type (1a). It comes in tablet instead of gelatin capsules tablets are not a bio-available form of delivery (2a). Tableting is a process that requires a variety of substances of doubtful value including "cellulose, crospovidone, FD and C blue No. 2, red No. 40, and yellow No. 6, Magnesium Stearate, polysorbate, povidone, sodium croscarmellose, starch, sucrose, titanium dioxide, triacetin".

Caltrate is devoid of other clinically-proven bone building ingredients like trace minerals magnesium, trace minerals Vitamin K2 and Strontium. The calcium version is not as effective as the organic, whole food, plants-based AlgaeCal. The cost is quite low however, it appears that you're getting what you pay for : the most low-quality ingredients available in the most bio-degradable form (tablet) together with numerous additives.

CalMax CalMax is laboratory-made Calcium Gluconate, along in combination with Magnesium in addition to Vitamin C in the form of a powder that is effervescent. It is not a good choice for bone development since it does not contain any of the other clinically tested bones-building ingredients, such as trace mineralslike vitamin D Vitamin K2 and Strontium. Additionally, the calcium content is not comparable to natural, whole food plants-based AlgaeCal

PremCal PremCal is inorganic calcium carbonate derived from limestone rock, that contains a tiny quantity of Magnesium. It comes in three strength levels of vitamin D, to suit various levels of sunlight exposure. The product is marketed as a primary remedy for PMS. PremCal does not meet the requirements for bone health because it does not contain any of the other scientifically proven bone-building ingredients like the trace mineral, Vitamin K2, and Strontium. Additionally, the calcium version isn't as good as the organic, whole food, made from plants AlgaeCal.

Coral Calcium Coral Calcium comes from fossilized deposits above sea, or below-sea dredging processes that remove the coral sands mostly located in Okinawa, Japan. Coral Calcium was popularized in 2003 with a television informational which was later pulled by the FDA and FTC for making fraudulent and unsubstantiated claims made in advertisements. It was the product that wasn't under scrutiny more than the exaggerated claims about health benefits that were presented.

Coral calcium is a distinct thing in comparison to AlgaeCal. For starters it is an animal while AlgaeCal comes from an algae. Coral Calcium is heated to eliminate heavy metals which means that all organic matter is removed. AlgaeCal is harvested in live form and processed cold so that it is nutritionally valuable. In reality, AlgaeCal has much more magnesium, and has 12-times more trace mineral pergram than calcium from coral. Coral Calcium is available in conjunction with a variety of ingredients, but not with Vitamin K2 and Strontium which are two of the most clinically tested bone health boosters. A lack of clinical research has been conducted on the coral calcium that show any therapeutic benefits. AlgaeCal is a major clinical trial with impressive results.
