On one review site, a claim was made that the true product should NOT have any calcium in it as it would hinder the effectiveness. Anyone?

In all the Calcium should make the Garcinia actually more bio available than HCA alone however there are other compounds which make it even more bio-avaliable such as Potasium which this product contains along with Magnesium which it doesn't. My guess is the folks saying that it shouldn't contain Calcium only have the ingredients that makes it more bio-avaliable such as Magnesium or Potassium.

Everyone does not respond the same. Each person may have different factors that play into their calcium absorption. I think if you took the product for 6 months then had a bone density scan you should see if you have positive results. I have bone density scans once a year, every year it was worse, and I was taking a lot of supplements to stop the loss of bone and they were not working. I took this product for one year before my next scan, when I had my scan, it showed a vast improvement. I'm a big fan of the product needless to say. I don't take prescription medications for bone, I feel they are not the answer because of the side effects. That's my personal opinion.KC Everyone does not respond the same.

I'm sorry, but it lists calcium carbonate in it's lists of ingredients, but not the amount.

I believe it must be an error because the ingredients on my bottle say it contains only cellulose, stearic acid, cros-carmellos sodium, magnesium stearate and also says on the label "contains nothing other than listed ingredients" . I purchased this product specifically because I did not want one that contained calcium and I am convinced from the ingredients that it does not. Perhaps you could notify Amazon of the description error.

As other people have commented, there is NO calcium in this product. It is a magnesium product, containing 350 mg. I don't know how it affects other people; however, I can say that it WORKS for me!!

I ordered the Pet Tabs with calcium by mistake once. We usually use the AF formula. It probably does work and I'm sure it had calcium in it because they were much harder to break in half for out 15 LB doxies. (They get 1/2 a tab with each meal -2 times a day). The one question to ask maybe would be: ..What type of calcium is it? My Dr has told "me" to get calcium "citrate" as it is easier to absorb. Ask your Vet and check the ingredients. I will say we LIKE Pet Tabs and the were originally recommended by our Vet. Buying them on Amazon is a cost effective way to get them. Especially true if you are a Prime member!

I don't have this but I went to Nature Made's website. It contains 100 micrograms of vitamin K (K2 - mk7) and some fillers. No calcium.

Honestly, I can't say that I have taken it regularly like I should have. I didn't notice any immediate effects. Furthermore, after researching Garcinia Cambogia a little more, I noted that the HCA in it can be negatively affected by calcium, rendering it worthless. Unfortunately there is calcium in this particular brand, which makes me doubt its effectiveness. I also wonder how I can eat anything I want with this and still lose weight if I have to cut calcium out of my diet completely for it to work. I'm a bit of a skeptic here, but you might want to seek out one that does not contain calcium if you want to try it. Honestly, I can't say that I have taken it regularly like I should have.

That's a great question! Calcium inhibits the build up of fat, however in large amounts it MAY inhibit Hydroxycitix Acid, which is the content provided by Garcinia Cambogia. Some people have seen great results with Garcinia with Calcium, others haven't. In order to cater to all of our clients, we have presentations of Garcinia with and without Calcium. :DIf you have any other questions please feel free to give our Certified Sports Nutritionists a call at 866-807-5066, we'll gladly answer any of your questions :D

I cannot answer your question since I'm not a chemist. I do know I have been using Posture D for many, many years and it has absolutely NO side effects, as some other brands of calcium have.

Lucy, I hope that this email finds you extremely well. Our brand is bound using Potassium. Our brand is the absolutely strongest on Amazon.com because we do not bind our product with Calcium. As stated by many brands and by many doctors .... Calcium significantly blocks absorption. I would point out that about 95% of our competitors sell garcinia cambogia that is unsuccessful and contain a very large amount of CALCIUM. At Pure Body Nutra we believe in selling products that work. If we won't refer our family to use it , you won't find it with the Pure Body Nutra name on it. This is why we have over 1,000,000 customers and rapidly growing . Thanks , Sam Whitehorse Customer Service Agent Service Level I

I did not know that. I am aware that adulterated ingredients in human or animal food regardless of where those ingredients came from can have a harmful effect and avoid specific foods when problems are identified by competent authorities. I have never done a forensic examination of any of the milk bone products I've purchased over the last 20 years so I can't attest to their chemical composition. I can say that they've been a staple for the thirty-plus dogs we've adopted during those years with much apparent enjoyment and no apparent ill-effects. If that paradigm ever changes, I will promptly amend my review.

In my experience, with or without calcium has worked. Since I have used the product with calcium I have lost 8 pounds over the three weeks during the holidays. I did eat and drink what I wanted but I see no difference with or without the calcium. It has worked for me.

No-at least according to the label, but it does contain calcium, and shortly after ordering, I read an article stating if calcium is taken with Garcinia Cambogia, it negates the desired effects.

Some companies have whipped up the idea that this is a bad ingredient. I would like to refer you to a website. Wellnessresearches.com on the subject. this should be informative. As far as the actual product goes...I love it.
