Calcium Magnesium Vitamin D questions
How much calcium, magnesium and vitamin D are in a serving?
Three caplets give 1,000 mg of calcium, 500 mg of magnesium and 10 mcg (400 IU) of vitamin D3. The bottle of 120 caplets holds 40 servings.
How do I take it?
Adults: take 3 caplets a day, preferably with meals. Splitting them across meals (for example 1 with each meal) helps absorption, because the body absorbs calcium best in amounts of about 500 mg or less at a time.
Can I take it with iron or zinc?
Calcium can reduce how much iron and zinc you absorb. Take iron or zinc supplements at least two hours apart from these caplets. Keep thyroid medication and some antibiotics apart too; ask your pharmacist about timing.
Why combine calcium, magnesium and vitamin D?
Calcium and magnesium contribute to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth and to normal muscle function, and vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and use of calcium. Having all three in one caplet simplifies a bone routine.
Is it suitable for vegetarians?
The caplets are coated and the label lists no milk, lactose, soy, gluten, wheat, yeast or fish. Food supplements don’t replace a varied diet. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, taking medication or have a medical condition, ask your doctor first.
