Calcium

What we use: Tricalcium Phosphate²⁵

What it does:

  • Builds bones and teeth²⁵
  • Makes your muscles squeeze (contract)²⁵
  • Helps nerves send messages²⁵
  • Lets blood clot properly²⁵

When you don't get enough:

  • Muscle cramps²⁵
  • Numbness and tingling²⁵
  • Bones get weak and break easily²⁵
  • Teeth problems²⁵
  • Your body steals calcium from bones to keep your heart beating²⁵

Why we pay more for this form: Calcium carbonate (the cheap stuff) needs stomach acid to work. Lots of people don't make enough stomach acid.²⁵ Plus, calcium carbonate can cause gas and bloating²⁵ when it reacts with your stomach acid, tastes chalky and gritty, and can contribute to kidney stones if you use too much.²⁵

Our form absorbs more easily, gives you phosphorus too, and doesn't taste like chalk. No tummy troubles.²⁵
