What is the difference in the elemental and veggie strontium??

Strontium is on the Periodical Chart. That is a key element like calcium zinc and magnesium. True Strontium is not Veggie. The Doctor's Best that I reviewed is a tablet. I hope this helps.

Strontium is a mineral and believe the source is the same. Some come in a gelatin capsule which is usually an animal source and some come in "vegi-caps" which are a vegetable based capsule. The strontium inside should be the same. Make sure you do not take at same time as calcium - at least two hours apart.

Elemental Strontium is the source of the mineral and the veggie certification has to do with how the capsule is produced. For additional product information, please feel free to contact Doctor's Best directly.

The active ingredient is delivered in your system via a pill that you swallow... so the pill has to be made of something. The Veggie cap is usually more popular than the Gelatin cap because most are made out of soybean... and many people think that's better for them than a gel. The active ingredient is indeed what you stated but that's how it's delivered... just like vitamins, drugs or anything else in pill form.

Biotech has are two different products that are both 50,000 IU of Vitamin D3. One has gelatin capsules, one has vegetarian capsules. Each container specifies which one it is. If it says "veggie caps" or "vcaps" then it is the non-gelatin version. The vcap version is also usually slightly more expensive than the gelatin version.

Hi, there is a metal/steel at the bottom inside the pot, I believed it's a heat element.

I am not sure, but these are the ingredients:vegetarian capsule, magnesium silicate, silicon dioxide, rice powder, magnesium stearate(vegetable source). It also says "Suitable for Vegetarians." I hope this has helped.

I tried the Vega One and the Plant Fusion samples last week. However, the Vega One sample was chocolate and this one was vanilla bean. I liked the texture of the Plant Fusion better. The Chocolate Vega was pretty sweet but tasted very rich and chocolatey. I believe is has more carbs/sugar than the plant fusion. Plant fusion had more protein per serving and based on the one by one comparison the plant fusion seemed to keep me fuller longer, but its pretty subjective. I do know that based on the samples I tried I would prefer this product over the Vega One sample based on content, protein, sugar, and taste. But, Vega One was good and I would happily drink it too. I hope this helps!

I am responding to a question asked on Amazon about Strontium by Orthomolecular brand. My very knowledgeable primary care provider recommended this product, and this brand specifically. She considers it an excellent brand, and research indicates we need 1,000 mg. of Strontium taken APART from calcium in supplements, milk, etc. So this product does that. (All other products that I have seen mix calcium and strontium in one dose, which is not effective). I had osteoporosis and neither my health care provider nor I wanted me to take pharmaceuticals any longer for it due to side effects. Right after I started taking Strontium I was in two car accidents successively, and so for the one and one-half years between DEXA scans I got almost no exercise. Nevertheless, my last DEXA showed I am out of osteoporosis into osteopenia at a significant difference -- then at age 61. My osteoporosis was once 37% bone loss in the spine. Bioidentical hormones probably help this also--I have taken them for 10 years. I seldom rate products but I think I owe it to others to let them know this really works for me, with no known negative side effects. (It is a minor mineral as I understand). It is used in Europe a lot. My physical therapist has used it with good results also. I have a friend who is an internal medicine physician and after reading the research she now gives her patients the option to us Orthomolecular brand Strontium. Read the research and then you will be careful with other Strontium products. There may be other good ones that I don't know about, but I trust Orthomolecular because my health care provider knows and recommends the company, and she is not getting benefit from selling those products.

To my knowledge, it is not plant based. Initially, I had thought that it was plant based. I have actually found another calcium supplement that I will try as soon as I finish the Garden of Life order.

950 mg of strontium citrate and 300 mg. of strontium (as Citrate) are contained in 1 capsule according to the back of the container. I take one per day. By the way if you are taking a calcium product do not take at the same time of day as the Strontium.

I can tell no difference between the veg gel capsules and the regular gel capsules. I did not want to consume the pork products that are in the regular gel capsules.

Here is the label description: "This 100% plant derived colloidal mineral supplement consists of a natural assortment of over 70 minerals derived from plants growing through the Eden era. Trace amounts of these minerals are essential for health and vitality. These minerals are harvested from a plant material known as humic shale in Utah. They are of the same type found in fruits and vegetables. They are nontoxic, water soluble, and more easily assimilated than metallic minerals. BURIED TREASURE Pure Plant Source minerals provide a concentration of 30,000 mg. per liter and help support health and longevity." A secret I discovered, these minerals are sourced from the same place that 'Majestic Earth' minerals are, and the cost is half as much!!! Dr. Wallach produces these as well as "Majestic Earth". They are natural and pure, no gmo. Also, I notice that others suggest mixing with grape juice. However, to me, it makes the taste bitter, it's much better mixed with apple juice. Hope this helps!

I have been searching the internet to find this answer for you with no luck. I have the package in front of me and searched for any information about the content of arsenic. I did read that it is raised in California, not where cotton was regularly planted which does reduce the amount of arsenic that could be found in the soil from fighting the boll weevil. I actually had no idea that rice and arsenic were a concern until your question, so will keep trying to find the answer. However, I did find a nice statement about the health advantage of the black japonica and posted it below. Seems to be much better for you than other rices. I am sorry I could not really answer your question, will add to this if I find anything later. Black rice is a whole grain, like brown rice, and therefore it contains high levels of protein, Vitamin B and dietary fiber. Black rice also holds high levels of antioxidants which are found in the natural black pigment. Antioxidants like Beta-carotene, Vitamin B and Vitamin E, are natural anti-inflammatory compounds that combat free radicals in the body and reduce the risk of diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Lundberg Black Japonica packs a strong punch with its wealth of nutrients, and its powerful flavor makes it a great main ingredient in desserts, salads and main courses.

The Cuisinart SBC-1000 does not discriminate between fresh or frozen. Out of season frozen veg's pack as much if not more nutrients than fresh (often trucked or flown from great distances). Fresh broccoli can loose as much as 50% of its Vit.C in a week, whereas frozen broc might loose 10% over a full year. So yeah, fear not, the SBC-1000 heats frozen as well as fresh, might take a tad bit longer though. Who really cares? Right?

There really isn't much of a difference. If you cook something a long time in plain cast iron you might detect a bit of a mineral taste but it's barely noticeable. Beside that, iron in your diet is a good thing. ;-)
