What difference does the calcium and chromium make? I see some advertise being calcium free.

Don't need either but we do need the HCA. Z natural has 5 pound bulk and that will last me.

I'd quit the calcium supplement as we usually get enough from our food. Too much calcium without magnesium can cause big problems.

This is not correct. If you go to Doctor Oz's website and read or watch about garcinia cambogia, he said among other things, that: 1/ calcium (as well as potassium and chromium) can and should be added as they improve the efficacy of the supplement (better absorption), 2/ capsules may (and usually do) contain gelatin; this is harmless.

Hexavalent chromium is not present in chrome steel alloys, and trace amounts of the element chromium are necessary in the human diet (look on your Flintstones Vitamin label if you don't believe me). Fine alloys for kitchen knives also contain molybdenum and vanadium, but those aren't going to transfer from the knife to your food in any detectable amounts. One thing is certain though. The government of California is hazardous to the public's mental health and common sense.

It is actually okay to have calcium in the product. They recommend having calcium and/or potassium in it because it helps your body process it better.

I think they changed it all now to 1:1 ratio. They determined it was better to have the ratio that way instead of so much calcium. Go to www.vites.com - they are the company that makes this brand.

Hi,We appreciate your question. All Garcinia Cambogia contains traces of calcium and potassium. Calcium isn't absorbed to its fullest without the benefit of vitamin D. This might be the "mix-up" in your knowledge. If you look at our product we also add the benefits of chromium. Chromium works well with HCA and has been used for years as a weight loss supplement. In short, if you find Garcinia Cambogia that does not contain Calcium, you should question it. It would take an extremely expensive extraction process to achieve this. We hope this information is helpful. Thank you again for the opportunity to clear this up. Hi,We appreciate your question. All Garcinia Cambogia contains traces of calcium and potassium.

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.

this is calcium! Non swelling, it is ingestible. I've done so with great results.

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!!

The label says: "calcium (from calcium citrate), cellulose, vegetable stearate, and silica". Hope this helps.

Mary Ann it does not have vitamin D in it. The magnesium helps with your calcium in your body. I do take vitamin D supplemental which is very good for you also. If you don't take a calcium supplement you can buy the calm with calcium. I know Mary that once you try the clam you will notice a big difference. Charlie

It does not mention calcium even under "other ingredients." They do have a phone number on the bottle 1-800-576-2878 and may be able to help you further. I'm not a doctor, so you may want to check with one, but I was getting leg cramps at night and starting taking this in the evening and the cramps stoppped. Good Luck. Lisa

Agreed - kind of hard to buy a calcium supplement that doesn't bother to list the calcium content :)

The label indicates the calcium is "HydroxyCitrate", and a google search shows that it is tropical plant derived. It comes from the Garcinia Cambogia fruit itself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxycitric_acid

I'm not sure, but Nature's way explains it this way: "While many supplements contain calcium from limestone rock or animal bones, Alive! Calcium provides calcium and 70+ trace minerals in a natural food matrix that may be easier for the body to digest, absorb and utilize."
