Quality vs. Quantity
There are different forms of calcium and magnesium used in supplements, of which the quality and body’s ability to absorb these vary dramatically. OptiCalMag contains calcium and magnesium citrate that are more bioavailable, and easier for the body to absorb than the common carbonate form. They are also presented in an ideal ratio of 4:3 calcium:magnesium. Vitamin D helps to facilitate better absorption.
