According to Health Equations

The advantage of the Health Equations Calcium and Magnesium Plus is that you get what you take. When you take 400 mg of calcium in the Health Equations Calcium you absorb just about 400 mg of calcium.The greatest amount of calcium and minerals you can get from other calcium and mineral supplements is one third of what you take. In round figures you must take 1200 mg of another calcium and hope 400 mg is absorbed.

When you take other calcium and mineral supplements, the calcium and minerals are released (from the citrate, carbonate or whatever) in the stomach by the acid in the stomach, and are now free and charged. There are three disadvantages to releasing calcium and minerals in the stomach: 1) The calcium and minerals will not be released if you do not have enough stomach acid, and many people do not. 2) calcium and minerals that are released in the stomach are released prematurely; they are not yet at their site of absorption in the small intestine, but are free and charged. So, 3) at least two-thirds of the calcium you took becomes bound again, this time to fatty acids and this time permanently. The calcium and minerals and the fatty acids can never be absorbed. You loose fatty acids and may even become fatty acid deficient. Moreover, the fatty acids with calcium and minerals attached, decrease the wanted beneficial organisms in the bowel and increase the unwanted harmful organisms. Digestive symptoms may follow.

The Health Equations Calcium and Magnesium Plus formulas attach calcium and minerals that are positively charged to clay particles. The clay particles carry the calcium and minerals through the stomach—all the way to the site of absorption in the small intestine. The alkaline environment of the small intestine releases the calcium and minerals from the clay carrier. Now the free, positively charged calcium and minerals attach immediately to the negatively charged lining of the small intestine. A carrier protein transports the calcium and minerals across the wall of the intestine into your body.

The Health Equations Calcium and Magnesium Plus formulas optimize calcium and mineral utilization in 3 ways: 1) They deliver unbound FREE calcium and minerals 2) that are CHARGED directly to 3) the site of calcium and mineral absorption in the small intestine. No other calcium and/or mineral supplement does all three. Delivery of free, charged calcium and minerals to the site of absorption are ALL necessary to absorb most— if not all— the calcium and minerals you take.
