Citrical Bone Density Builder -- Some interesting info.

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:

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.

thanks again Andea...
