Active Calcium FAQs

1. Can my child take the Active Calcium Plus?

• Children 1-6 years: Not recommended
• Children 7-10 years: 1 Active Calcium Plus
• Children 11-12 years: 2 Active Calcium Plus tablets

It is important to provide children with a healthy, well-balanced diet high in calcium rich foods. Teaching our children to make wise food choices instead of simply eating poorly and taking a nutritional supplement is imperative to their future health and wellness. If for some reason it is not possible to supply adequate calcium from dietary sources, Active Calcium may provide a beneficial alternative calcium source for children.

2. Why is there a mixture of calcium sources in the Active Calcium Plus tablet?
It is now known that calcium carbonate and calcium citrate are equally absorbed and utilized when taken with food and adequate vitamin D. The amount of elemental calcium in the Active Calcium Plus is 200 mg per tablet. It is not possible to provide this amount of calcium from calcium citrate alone. Therefore, to reach a more advanced amount of elemental calcium, a mixture of citrate and carbonate was necessary.

3. What are the advantages of the new Active Calcium Plus formula compared to the previous formula?

• 68% more calcium per tablet
• 100% more vitamin D per tablet
• Fewer tablets necessary to meet calcium requirements
• 28 day supply for autoship convenience
