Calcium Veg Caps: Your Questions Answered
Your hisses have been heard -- we know you miss your beloved Liquid Calcium, and we promise we're working hard with our manufacturer to get it back in stock ASAP. In the meantime, we're offering an identical Calcium veg cap formula (complete with magnesium, vitamin D3, and boron, of course) at the same low price.
Teri's received a flurry of calls as of late from members with questions about said veg cap Calcium formula, and this kat has taken a couple of her most frequently asked questions and answered them below. Here's the scoop:
Q: What is the bioavailability of the veg cap form?
Our team of experts (the ridiculously smart ones like naturopaths and chemists -- and even Mike Ciell, in his interview) have assured us all the ingredients are effective and available in a veg cap form. While a tablet may be less bioavailable because it must be broken down by the stomach during digestion, capsule contents are readily available for absorption.
Q: Are there additional benefits to the Calcium veg cap formula?
As a matter of fact, yes. Our veg cap formula is a great choice for our vegetarian members, and for those of you finicky about swallowing so many capsules, the veg cap formula makes it easy to add the contents to your shake, applesauce, or favorite drink. The trio have no offensive flavor, and in fact a very mild taste.
So, there you have it fair members -- we wouldn't steer you wrong, we promise. While you're waiting for our Liquid Calcium, consider relying on our Calcium veg caps in the same amounts, at the same price, and even with the same spiffy red top! ^..^
Stock up now! Your bones will thank you.
That's all for now fair members.
Still purringly yours,
Guido
