Calcium Supplement for Women & Men - Calcium Citrate & Hydroxyapatite 1000mg + Vitamin D3 K2 Magnesium Zinc & More for Complete Bone Health, 180 Tablets

Better have a pull cutter because these babies are huge!!!

The product has made a difference in my bone density, that is what counts!

I have taken a number of calcium supplements, vetted for high quality, along with a daily regimen of magnesium in 2 bioavailable forms (topical magnesium chloride and oral high-absorption magnesium), full spectrum (MK4 and MK7) Vitamin K2, Vitamin D3 and activated silicon, all to help my body absorb the calcium and ensure it goes where it should be instead of building up as plaque where I don't want it, in addition to healthy eating with plenty of leafy greens excluding spinach and usually broccoli. (They contain oxalic acid which prevents absorption of calcium. You only get half the calcium from broccoli and 1/20 = 5% from spinach.) I have a health issue that requires I get plenty of calcium in addition to the general necessity for women in particular.Until I started taking this supplement from Pure Micronutrients, my calcium issue persisted despite my consistent efforts. It's now gone, completely.I usually hesitate to leave a glowing review for something I'm going to keep buying probably forever, because economic equilibrium: (increased demand + no appreciable increase in supply) usually = price increase. But if this helps someone else find the right supplement they need for their health then I'll write my of my experience: I believe everyone should be taking this supplement.It does have a good, bioavailable form of magnesium, as well as K2 and D3, but I still take a little extra of those 3 each day along with some form of dietary fat since the K and D are only soluble in that. I also only take this calcium supplement with some dietary fat because of the K2 and D3 in it. Anything that vegetable oil can be made from will do, nuts, seeds, etc.; you don't have to consume animal fat for this purpose. Avocado is a particularly good choice in general, and one of the few produce items that you don't really need to buy organic.The pills are indeed large and difficult to swallow; I can usually take 2 sizeable capsules or large tablets of other supplements or medications at the same time. This is the first pill I've ever encountered that I do have difficulty swallowing. I usually manage the first one ok but the second one is sometimes a problem. Normally I would deduct one point for this, but considering how miraculous this supplement has been for me, I'm not going to do that. If you have trouble swallowing pills, it's worth the trouble to grind these or otherwise deal with the issue. I have a cheapo pill splitter but these pills are so wide in the middle I'm not going to chance them in it.If you do take additional magnesium, stay away from magnesium oxide. You're able to absorb almost no magnesium from it. Magnesium chloride is the most bioavailable form but it can only be used topically instead of orally, which I highly recommend doing. You need it for so many bodily functions, it can reach many parts of your body via absorption through your skin, and our diets are severely lacking in it especially compared to our ancestors, due to modern farming efficiency practices. You can even use the stuff as an antiperspirant, which I do, and despite looking like a dainty little thing I sweat like a barbarian unless I use this or only one antiperspirant that is effective for me (Certain Dri). Magnesium chloride is much healthier than the aluminum found in many deodorants and antiperspirants.

the bone density test shows that it worked

I liked that this pill had every thing I wanted for my bones, but you have to take 4 a day, 2 in the a.m. and 2 in he p.m. I found them very dificult to swallow.

As a stage 4 cancer patient my blood is drawn every 4 weeks prior to treatment. Since taking this product calcium level are consistent @ 9.8 and potassium levels are consistent @ about 3.8 both being within a good range. Magnesium however are not on those draws. That being said my Dr. has explained to me that the absorption of the calcium and potassium are dependent upon the absorption at the magnesium and therefore feels confident that magnesium levels are also good. I’m no expert went is come to vitamins and minerals but what I can’t say is I feel great and my bone density scan come out as normal which is promising due to the fact that treatment with immunotherapy, radiation and chemo all three of which I have received can effect bone health. This supplement is sizable but I’m able to swallow with no problem.

Just bought them. I have osteoporosis so I was told to take calcium. I can't take the medication. The pills were so hard to swallow, but then I had a brilliant idea. I dipped it in olive oil. Easy peasy.

I just received these and have taken all of 6 pills. They are large but i swallow them easily. I have followed the directions to take two tablets in the morning and two at night. I don’t know that I will be able to determine the effects of this supplement until I have another bone scan done, which will be two years from now. However, the scan I just had showed osteopenia in my neck and hip so taking something is better than nothing!
