I need 1200 mg elemental calcium per day. I note this says 250mg calcium/tab. Any ideas about how mg and elemental mg are calculated ?

Hello, Carolyn! That is correct - it has 250mg elemental calcium per tablet, so I take it twice daily to get 500mg total, which is its recommended dose for the average people. But if your doc tells you you need that much (1200mg), I would take two tablets twice daily! ^_^

My doctor recommended 1500 mg per day, so I take two tablets, one with breakfast and one with my evening meal. Totally changed my bone density from borderline osteoporosis to normal in two years time.

If you're planning on taking a boron supplement for a performance boost at the gym, don't bother. It is useless for that purpose. Serving size: 2 capsule Amount per serving Vit d: 200IU Calcium: 500mg Magnesium: 250mg Zinc: 7.5mg Copper: 250mcg (I think this is supposed to mean 250 micrograms, but they use this asinine "mcg" abbreviation) Manganese: 2.5mg Boron: 1.5mg (as citrate, glycinate, aspartate)

I take this because I take 5000 IU's of Vit D3 per day and in order for the calcium in your blood to actually go into your bones, you need 100 mcg of MK7 K2 per 1000 IU's of D3. This is critical for men because calcium floating around in the arteries is really not a good thing... This element is essential for preventing osteoporosis so don't leave it out!

Hi Pat, the answer to your question is 600 mg of calcium, 500 mg. of vitamin D, 300 of magnesium, 20 calories, all in one tablespoon. Great product, solgar is the best. I also take extra vitamin D in pills up to 1000 or more a day. Hope this helps.

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.

Yes it contains Calcium, and if it is enough or not depends on how much you want in your system, but I suppose it is enough if you take it on a daily basis.

There isn't any calcium listed on the nutrition label. It's got 350mg of magnesium per serving (2 rounded teaspoons).

There is 120mg (30%RDA) of magnesium (as magnesium glycinate) and 10mg ascorbyl palmitate (fat-soluble vitamin C-daily value not established. Other ingredients: vegetarian capsule (cellulose, water). Recommendations: 1-4 capsules daily, in divided doses, with meals. All of this info is on the bottle. For more info I suggest you contact manufacturer "pure encapsulations. inc." I find these vitamins to be superior to all the others I have used. It is easy to regulate dosage as your bowels get watery if you take too many. They control (stop) muscle spasms in legs. Many vitamins list the amount of milligrams in the recommended dosage on the front of the container, then on the back they tell you to take 2 or more tablets to reach that amount of milligrams. Example: One brand I was using said 400mg on the front, then I discovered that was the amount in 2 tablets. I ordered the 400mg tabs so I could cut them in half. I couldn't understand why my muscle spasms returned, then found out I was only taking 1/2 of what I thought I was taking. Pure Encapsulation Magnesium does not list the mg on front of container (120mg) The information is on the back and each dosage is only 1 tablet. I take 4 a day for a total of 480mg throughout the day -no more muscle spasms.

The bottle that I purchased says Magnesium citrate only ..., no calcium. I believe this company sells a magnesium/calcium combo but this is not the one I purchased or the Solgar Magnesium Citrate that was emailed to me to answer your specific question to. Hope that answers your question.

Not sure about mg, but it's 10% of the DV (daily value for a 2000 calories a day diet)...the amount of calcium you get out of your 2000mg per day of you consume this amount of calories.

What I've learned in life is that when taking supplements you do need more magnesium than calcium, as far as the ratio goes. This "raw one" didn't contain mag., that's why I changed to something else. Hope this helps

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!
