Question:
Anyone tried Calmax?

I saw an infomercial on TV for Calmax which is a calcium/magnesium/vitC powder supplement. I'm tempted to order it because I know the calcium citrate pills I'm taking aren't being digested (they're hard pills and probably not being broken down even though I cut them in half). Any input would be great! Thanks.    — Kellie L. (posted on February 16, 2001)

I have not tried this product, but I would have to find out what kind of calcium they are using. If it is calcium citrate, then it would be well absorbed, but if it is calcium carbonate, then we can't absorb it well whether it is a powder or not because of our lack of stomach acid. What I have found that works for me is a chewable form of calcium citrate from TwinLab. It has vitamin D and magnesium plus calcium citrate in a citrus-flavored chewable.
