Why does it say it's a "highly absorbable citrate form of calcium"? I thought this was Magnesium. Does it also have Calcium?

There r 2 forms of magnesium -- citrate and oxide. Citrate is the most affective.

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.

The ingredients list "Dicalcium Phosphate" as one of the ingredients. On the label it states that this magnesium helps calcium transport and absorption.

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 use the Calcium citrate as part of a tooth powder... When I use the tooth powder I do notice a sharp taste. I am unsure whether it is the calcium or the magnesium. I would try it in the apple juice myself before giving it to my child. If it doesn't interfere with the taste of the juice I would go ahead. I, personally, would suggest trying yogurt and cheese for their calcium content instead of the calcium citrate.

No. The brand is aptly named. My Doctor recommended them for that reason. She said Magnesium glycinate or citrate were the most absorbable. I was pleased to be able to find them on Amazon for a more reasonable price. I can tell the difference when I skip taking them for a few days.

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!

CALCIUM CITRATE: Calcium is best absorbed in an acidic environment, hence calcium citrate is the best absorbed supplemental form of calcium---it does not require extra stomach acid for absorption. Intended to provide nutritive support for healthy bones, teeth and nerve function. Check the following web site. http://www.nuprosupplements.com/

1. The citrate salt is (supposedly) more bio-available (more easily absorbed and distributed through the body) than other salt forms.2. To the best of my understanding, the active form of Magnesium in the body is the Mg 2+ cation. I cannot see any chemical rationale for injesting Magnesium Oxide as a source of dietary magnesium. I don't know if Magnesium Citrate is the MOST bioavailable, but my chemical intuition tells me that it MUST be better than supplements containing Magnesium Oxide.3. Totes LOLed at the "citrate binds with oxalate" comment: meaningless nonsense. 1.

The label reads: "Ingredients: Ionic magnesium citrate (created from a highly absorbable proprietary blend of citric acid and magnesium carbonate)."

There is calcium citrate in the product. The label reads "0.5% Min.-1.5% Max." Sorry. Good luck in finding something that works.

It reads 99.9% pure magnesium. It is the only ingredient listed. Their website on bottle is meminerals.com.

It is magnesium oxide. I agree with you, all supplement ingredients should be displayed in the description.

A simple answer is magnesium citrate is just a pure form of magnesium alone such as oxide and gluconate. They differ in the way the body absorbs it. Oxide tends to be absorbed the worst from my readings. Magnesium Taurate is actually a blend of both magnesium and taurine, ideally giving you the benefits of both.

I answered wrong the first time. Sorry. When I was taking my pills this morning, I noticed I answered for Mag citrate not the Cal citrate. The Calcium citrate is in capsule form. Yes, you can open the capsule and pour it in water or on food. I am sure it will dissolve.

Hi, The only Magnesium it has listed is 'Magnesium' of 200mg. It does not have any references (not even in their Statement Of Elements document) on any other Magnesium element. Hope this helps.

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

The label states that the Calcium is as calcium carbonate and the Magnesium is as magnesium oxide. Both 500mg each. Hope this helps.

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