Why is this safe to consume? Dietary FA has long been associated with contributing to disease in people with mineral deficient bones?

Fulvic acid is an excellent chelator (binder) of minerals and metals. In this way, it has the potential to steal minerals from your body, esp. your bones. However, as someone who works for a supplement manufacturer, I have seen lab test results fro FA and it is completely riddled with heavy metals and toxins (esp. lead). So my advice is stay far away from this stuff. It's all quackery. Sludge from between rocks will cure your every ailment? Sure...

It is a protein supplement, not a meal replacement... I assume that's the legal reason anyway. A balanced, healthy diet requires more than just protein.

I have read that also. I was very careful to pick a product that did not contain calcium. After I read your comment, I looked on the bottle again. I was unable to find calcium any where. Mine is the same as shown.I haven't had much luck with it. In the comment section, it helps some people and not others. One comment said to be sure and take it on an enpty stomach, at least one half hour before eating. I'll make sure that's how I take it, from now on. So far and I've taken quite a few, all it does is make me ravenous.

I do not know. I take this to help Calcium that I take (and that is floating around in my blood stream) to get into my bones.

It is not necessary, but it is a good idea, especially if you consume a lot of them. Almonds have phytic acid, a natural defense against being eaten which a lot of seeds and nuts, as well as some fruits and vegetables have, in them, which is an antinutrient, meaning it blocks the absorption of nutrients, and it actually depletes zinc. Soaking them helps to destroy some of the phytic acid so that you can get the full nutrition out of them and the other foods you eat.

This was definitely "Intentional", in our Quest to find what we believe is a near perfect dietary supplement, we wanted to avoid any chemicals and stay away from GMO products. A lot of our research goes thousands of years back as we studied the people in Biblical Times, what they ate, how long they lived, and how healthy they were.

I add AFTER cooking, just as I do the Vitamin Supplement by the same makers. I don't think calcium degrades when cooked, however, just to be on the safe side, I add after. We ourselves do not cook our supplements. We pop them in the mouth without a 2nd thought!

I'm a consumer of this product, the manufacturer; but I can tell you that a higher dosage is necessary for my health issue, as I deal with malabsorption. Vitamins and mineral supplements of all kinds come in higher dosages required by a variety of health issues and illnesses.

I honestly had NO idea that there were probiotics in this supplement - so I went and looked - you are exactly correct. I can only think that they put it in there to assist in the digestion of the RAW calcium - but I am not sure about this.What I DO know is that I just had my right femur cut in half & straightened - which means I have a steel plate and 8 screws in my leg. My surgeon left a gap in the bone so that he could straighten the leg. I am a soon to be 60 year old woman. My leg has healed so so so well. It has to have something to do with this Grow Bone. My doctor told me that he has 20 year olds that are not doing as well as I am doing.

All I can say is that the explanatory reading that accompanies the product and is on the website states that it is not harmful to teeth and that the flouride strengthens teeth, has calcium, etc., such that I decided to take a chance. If you wish, you could go to the Supersmile website and ask the question of them. Good luck....

I agree, it's still sugar so you shouldn't eat a lot of it. But they do say that it has Iron, Zinc, Calcium and Potassium, along with some short chain fatty acids, polyphenols and antioxidants that may also provide some health benefits. It also contains Inulin, which may slow glucose absorption. It has a lower glycemic index than regular table sugar too. But again, it is sugar. So use in moderation. I wouldn't use this as a source to add iron, zink, or any of the other minerals to your diet. You can those in much healthier ways.

There's 24 (A,C,Calcium, Iron, D, E, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, B, Folate, B12, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid, Phosphorous, Iodine, Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Cholride, Isoflavones, and Plant Steroles) vitamins and minerals in this stuff. My doctor recommended these to help balance out my body chemistry and to assist in weight loss. When I follow his advice, it of course works. I feel great when I'm on them, but they aren't cheap. Still, being sick is more expensive than spending (not an unreasonable amount of money) on a product that works. With all this healthy ingredients, both the vanilla and chocolate taste great.

This multi-vitamin is a fantastic balance of vitamins and minerals made from whole foods. But yes, it is missing some minerals of importance, depending on your diet. Iron is not included in this one, though generally men are not prone to a deficiency of iron. An iron supplement is a cheap addition if you need it.

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.

Maybe I should have pointed out that calcium is a mineral and not a vitamin...it is just what it is. So no, there wouldn't be any K in it.

Taking the Raw calcium without the growth factor won't hurt you, but it will not be as effective in promoting bone-building.
