Raw Calcium

WOW!!!!! After breastfeeding 3 kids and teeth not as strong I ate “healthy” all my life but still wasn’t enough I did a nutritional scan and found out my minerals were low! I have been taking it for 4 days and I feel SO MUCH BETTER WAY MORE ENERGY!!!!! Better than B12!!! And your rebuilding your BONES 🦴 YOUR STRUCTURE PLEASE BUY for every mother you know !!!!!

I've been buying Garden of Life Vitamin Code Raw Calcium for about 2 years. It's a plant-based calcium from Algae & also has raw probiotics & enzymes. I feel it's helping my calcium level to rise. It doesn't bother my sensitive stomach & the pills are not too big & easy to swallow.

Best quality calcium supplement I’ve found. I was taking this for a couple of months along with my cocktail of other vitamins. My dr said my calcium levels were a little low so she wanted me to take a supplement. Since I had not had a scan to measure bone density, I cannot attest to any changes there, but one outward thing I noticed was how my nails were super strong and growing really fast. After a couple months, I decided to try a cheaper but still highly-rated calcium just to see if it would work the same. Within a week of ONLY switching out the calcium supplement, my nails almost turned soft and started breaking and peeling and barely growing. I also had digestive upset which I had not had before. Everything else stayed the same except I just swapped to a different calcium. Needless to say, I immediately stopped taking the other brand and ordered this one on auto-ship again. I will be sticking with this brand from now on.

This provides all of the key vitamins and minerals that everyone needs! Also, the selected vitamins and minerals work in concert to provide maximum benefit of supplementation. I feel well taking this as directed on the label, but even taking half of the recommended dose will nourish the body.

I have taken Garden of Life calcium for many years. I am an 86 year old woman and have been able to keep my bone density steady. In fact, it has gone up a bit over the past four years. I do think it is a little pricey but I am willing to pay the price to keep from having to take bone strengthening medicine. But it is a little cumbersome to take large pills.

works great with no stomach irritation or side effects. i take 2 capsules with breakfast and 2 with lunch. the only negative is the cost. sometimes the delivery drivers drop the bag and the glass bottle breaks which means a refund and replacement order is necessary.

I waited two years to write this review since I first started taking this particular calcium supplement. About two years ago, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in my lumbar spine with a T-score of -2.7 even though I was only 57 years old. After doing some research, I decided to try this Garden of Life raw calcium supplement. For the next two years, I took three capsules a day (with some skipped days if I forgot), but I combined this with strength training exercise once or twice a week. For the strength training I mostly used Suzie Hathaway's "Safe Strength Training for Osteoporosis Prevention" video which is truly excellent. And I combined this with aerobic exercise another two or three days a week. I had been wondering, all this time, whether the effort was worth it. I had my DEXA scan last week and my T-score in my lumbar spine had gone from -2.7 to -1.5! I was AMAZED and so thankful! Who wants to have osteoporosis in ones 50's?! I feel I should mention the machine they used for the DEXA scan had been replaced and upgraded, but it is highly unlikely that the change in machine could have made THAT much difference. So, I can testify that this actually works! I plan to keep up the effort and, hopefully, reverse even the osteopenia in a few more years! I did not take the S tablets (other than just a few times early on) because I read that, although they do grow bone, they can make the bone brittle. So, my results were achieved with just this raw calcium and exercise. I also like taking this calcium better than the normal kind you get at a grocery store because it's smaller, shaped like a capsule, and I only have to take three a day. I usually taketwo at one point in the day and one a a differernt point, spacing them out. Thank you, Garden of Life, for making a truly excellent supplement!

Everywhere you look, there is a new health supplement being introduced to the market. So much so that it can be an impossible task to choose one that is best for you and your body. After many years of trial and error, I have settled on Garden of Life supplements as my daily supplementation. For my Calcium and D3 supplementation, I use this product twice daily. Why is this product great? Bioavailability. It doesn't matter how much of a certain vitamin or mineral is added to a supplement if your body simply isn't going to absorb it. Take for example, Magnesium. Many Magnesium supplements use Magnesium Oxide as the main ingredient. Did you know that only a measly ~5% of ingested Magnesium Oxide is absorbed by your body in this form? It's important to purchase supplements that are actually going to be absorbed by your body, otherwise you're just throwing money away. Whole food vitamins, used in this product, have great bioavailability because they are in a form that most resembles the food you eat throughout the day. This form allows your body to digest and absorb much higher amounts, giving you the health benefits you were looking for before buying the supplement. Added benefits. All of the Garden of Life products contain probiotic and enzyme blends that further increase the digestion of the vitamins and minerals found in their products, the food you eat, as well as promote a healthy gut microbiome. I can't think of many other companies that add probiotics to their products. Usage. The only potential downside is the amount of capsules required for the daily suggested serving size, 4 capsules per day. While this may seem inconvenient (which it can be), it is usually a good sign when a company avoids putting an entire daily serving into a single capsule or pill especially when there are so many ingredients involved. Using a single pill or capsule forces companies to cut corners and compromise on dosages, this supplement does neither. Additionally, multiple doses allows your body to get a constant stream of vitamins and minerals throughout the day instead of all at once. Overall, this is a great Calcium supplement with high bioavailability and the added benefit of digestive enzymes and raw probiotics. I would definitely suggest giving this supplement a try.

It is a good product, but sadly it has been out of stock almost a year now... hope there will be stock soon. Only can afford to purchase at discount, and iherb given best discount
