I started taking these awhile ago but discontinued until I have my dexa scan. I have RAW calcium left , any problem in using it without grwth fctr

I would agree with some of the other comments. I understand Strontium is very beneficial for the overall assimilation process of the calcium. Taking only the raw calcium would not be a problem, but not as effective as it would be with the Growth Factors. If your T-scores of your bone scan are low, I would highly recommend taking both! I have been taking the Grow Bone for about 4 years and my scans have been quite stable since going on it, whereas prior to that, my T-scores kept falling. I refuse to take prescription drugs that are so toxic!

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

Raw calcium is simply raw food. Natural foods have some form and percent of calcium a body uses or passes{depending on its' need}.Growth Factor is a natural occurring element which is only effective when our digestive system is not being flooded with other food. Having NO idea what a DEXA scan is I can only wish you good luck with your bones. Garden of Life- Fan

Although there are reports that strontium is helpful, I reversed osteoporosis without using it. Are you also testing your pH and taking the calciums to bring it into the normal range? For more information on pH, you may want to read the books of Dr. A.F. Beddoe who is continuing the research of Dr. Carey Reams.

Not at all. I appreciate this product greatly! In fact, my Dr. advised me to take this and my calcium supplements at the same time. It has helped me tremendously. Also, Standard Process is a great company. Our bodies absorb their nutrients. I support them and highly recommend them to my friends and family. I hope this helps!

I am not sure why they are not available but when I gave them to my dog it caused a scare for me. My dog started drinking a lot of water and peeing a lot. I thought maybe he had diabetes or cushings. Turns out they are so loaded with sodium (probably for the taste) that it made him very thirsty. All turned out well but my vet recommended I no longer use them. She felt that if he didn't need them anyway and was healthy there was no need to give them.

Doesn't work don't order one with calcium as it inhibits the uptake of the HCA, Do more research

I am sensitive to soy. Not sure about the GMO, but this one seems better that the other form of calcium I was taking. The other forms gave me kidney stones.

Just finished reading 'Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox' by Dr. K. Rheaume-Bleue. She says K2;MK7 is required, along with Vit A & D to direct calcium to bones and teeth and away from arteries and soft tissue. I use Jarrows Bone-Up with K2;MK7 and my teeth aren't sensitive anymore. After reading aforementioned book, I'm ready to up my K2;MK7 dosage to keep my bones & teeth healthy. (I'm 63) Read the well-written book and see for yourself. Good luck cleaning out those arteries!!

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! ^_^

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

I honestly don't know, since I am not doing a bone density test. I had such a hard time opening the bottles I switched to Algae Cal.

It's been a while since I've used them (I was only a pre-diabetic and dodged the bullet), but as I recall they were dated about a year or so forward. They were long gone before they expired - and that was testing only once a day for the last couple of months. BTW, did you check the previous Q&As;? I think this question was asked before.

I'm 46 years old , doing weight training , I feel better taking specific ingredients for cartilage and ligaments like this product in particular ,it has the right nutrition values.Alone with exercise is good for recovering , I also take isolated whey protein , multivitamins , glutamine and creatine , also Zinc Magnessium and Calcium combined . When I'm not under the stress of my training program I take 1 or 2 months off from some supplements including glucosamine.

Marisa, thank you for your question and your interest in HUMANOLABS products. While it is true, as another reader pointed out, that there is not much room left when each capsule contains almost 800mg of garcinia cambogia. However, this is not the main reason why we do not add supplemental calcium or potassium. Our garcinia cambogia is extracted in a manner that leaves it in a water soluble form. It is this factor more than any other that determines bioavailability. We have seen claims recently that warn consumers to avoid products that contain calcium as they purportedly render the active HCA useless. This is not the case. In fact, in virtually all of the clinical trials a standardized form of HCA, a calcium-potassium salt of (-)-hydroxycitric acid was utilized. Moreover, according to www.drugs.com and referencing garcinia cambogia "some salts used in commercial products are water soluble and bioavailable, and are a good source of calcium (495 mg) and potassium (720 mg)" Bottom line, bioavailabilty is very important but it has nothing to do with avoiding calcium and everything to do with getting a water soluble form of garcinia cambogia extract which as a result will also contain calcium and potassium salts. Sorry for the lengthy explanation but there is considerable misinformation out there on this topic and we hope that exchanges like this will help eliminate some of the confusion.

The bottle I got last month had no Calcium in it what so ever. If people are saying they did it could be possible they ordered something different.

There are 250 mg of calcium and 50 mg of magnesium in a serving size (6 tablets). It seems to me to be an efficient combination. My recent dexa scan showed that in 8 years my bones have not worsened, but have improved.

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.
