Comprehensive vegetarian formula for bone support
Product # 2101 90 tablets
CalGuard provides well-absorbed vegetarian calcium from a citrate-malate source, balanced with magnesium and other bone-building nutrients. A generous amount of vitamin K is included, far more than in most other bone support products, and vitamin D is supplied in the preferred D3 form for maximum bioavailability. These nutrients, along with vitamin C and manganese, work together to support optimal bone density and help skeletal structures maintain their integrity during minor traumas.
Refer to About...Calcium (see above), also the About...sections on Vitamin D, Magnesium and Other Bone-related Factors.
Calcium delivered as a citrate/malate salt has been documented as the best absorbed form of calcium in virtually all comparative studies (J Am Coll Nutr 1990;9:583-7; Calcif Tiss Int 1987;41:351-2) and may be the most effective for maintaining bone mass (N Engl J Med 1990;323:878-83).
