Question 1

is there a difference between mineral calcium and marine calcium and if so what???

Accepted Answer

The marine coral promoters say that above-sea coral has the minerals washed out, yet we post a certificate of analysis showing precisely how much of each of the 73 minerals is contained in our coral.  In fact the most important mineral, calcium, is found at about 37%.  Most marine products contain 20% or 24% which one would expect due to the sand content.

Question 2

y does calcium supplements have less mg then vitamin D?On the ingredients vitamin d is a higher mg. If we need 1200 mg of calcium How many supplement

Accepted Answer

I called Garden of Life about the calcium amount when I first started taking this product about 5 years ago, not about the vitamin D.  I was told because it is raw calcium it equates to what your body actually absorbs if you were taking another brand that says 1200mg.  The Vitamin K that is in this product also helps your body absorb the complete calcium nutrient.  The vitamin D in my eyes is just another bonus for this product which helps with your bones.  If what I am saying does not make sense, please contact them and maybe they can better explain.  I will also say I just had my bone density test and I had increased instead of decrease bone density mass, which is a good thing for someone in their 60's.  Good luck!

Question 3

Serving size on picture says 4 instead of 5 and serving per container in picture says 15 and not 30 which one is it?

Accepted Answer

It shows 120 capsules total.  They suggest 4 capsules per day which would be 30 days worth per bottle.  Not sure what is being asked?  4 is the serving size. I happen to take 2 per day as i take other Probiotics  but like this as well.

Question 4

I would like to know where the "marine algae" is harvested from.  Some other calcium supplements- coral calcium are harvested from Okinawa, Japan.

Accepted Answer

That's a great question! Here's the answer copied and pasted from the Garden of Life website: Is your Calcium RAW, organic, whole food and plant-form calcium? It is if it's Vitamin Code RAW Calcium. Using a patented form of marine algae known as Algas calcareas.sp which is ecologically harvested off the pristine shores of remote South America, this is the only raw, organic, pure plant form of calcium that Garden of Life® has ever found.I love this Calcium! I've been taking this Calcium for several years now. I just got my bloodwork back and Calcium levels were high. I had been taking 6 a day. My doctor told me that my body is absorbing it very well and to cut my dosage in half! Swallow - less vitamins each day! Bring it! I love their products! I also use their Protein powder - which is - amazing! Check it out on their website sometime!!!
