Total-Cal Hydroxyapatite With Magnesium & Vitamin D
Pharmacist's Select
Overview
Total-Cal Hydroxyapatite with Magnesium & Vitamin D offers a broad spectrum of bone health ingredients. While the inclusion of various calcium and magnesium forms, along with Vitamin D, provides a strong foundation for efficacy, the relatively low dose of Vitamin D and the inclusion of less bioavailable magnesium forms might limit overall effectiveness compared to optimally formulated alternatives.
The Good
Comprehensive multi-source calcium intake, including highly bioavailable Hydroxyapatite and Aquamin.
Significant dosage of calcium (1200mg) meeting daily recommendations for many adults.
Inclusion of Vitamin D (400 IU) to enhance calcium absorption and utilization.
The Bad
The dosage of Vitamin D (400 IU) might be considered low for individuals with significant deficiency or higher needs.
The serving size of 4 caplets per day (2 in AM, 2 in PM) might be inconvenient for some users.
Inclusion of less bioavailable magnesium forms (Magnesium Oxide, Magnesium Carbonate) may lead to variability in absorption and potential laxative effects.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking bone health support, those with calcium deficiencies, post-menopausal women.
Skip If: You have hypercalcemia, kidney stones, or are on certain medications without consulting a doctor.
