    Hey. Good Luck today. I hope they find the source of the pain so you can know and get on with it, whatever "it" is. I'll be looking for updates from Sam.

Citracal Bone Density Builder
posted on 12/12/08 8:13 am
So I was thinking about this product after a friend of mine with VSG got it.. and I called Bayer Health, the makers of the product.

The nutrition info:
SUPPLEMENTAL FACTS
Serving Size: 2 tablets
  Amount Per Serving % Daily Value
Vitamin D 400 IU 100%
Calcium (elemental) 600 mg 60%
Magnesium 50 mg 13%
Zinc 7.5 mg 50%
Copper 1 mg 50%
Manganese 2 mg 100%
Molybdenum 75 mcg 100%
Boron 250 mcg *
Genistein 27 mg *
*Daily Value not established.


In my studies, I've only seen that zinc and calcium should not be taken together.  Zinc *does* help with the absorption of calcium, but they don't play well with each other.  So I called up Citrical hoping they had some research to show why they put them together.

And guess what I found out?

It's a shocker..


This dose of calcium includes 480mg of calcium carbonate and only 120mg of calcium citrate.

Interesting, yes?


So don't buy it if you had RNY, DS, or have any other conditions that lower the amount of acid in your tum tum.


It's been brought to my attention that Celebrate has a similar product -- yes, I plan on calling them as well.
