21st Century Calcium 600 Plus D Plus Minerals Caplets, Bone & Joint, 120

I’ve been using the 21st Century Calcium 600 Plus Minerals caplets and they’ve worked well for me. The caplets are manageable to swallow, and I like that this supplement includes additional minerals instead of just calcium alone. It’s affordable, easy to take daily, and comes in a well-sealed bottle. I haven’t had any issues while using it, and it feels like a reliable option. Good value and a solid supplement choice.

Cheaper than Mucinex and works better in My iopiin

Good price and good quality supplement. I recommend it. The pill size is not too large so they are easy to swallow.

21st Century Calcium 600 Plus D Plus Minerals is part of my comprehensive program to sustain and increase my bone mass. For many years, my bone scans revealed that I had osteopenia - a precursor to osteoporosis. So I doubled down by researching how calcium gets into the bones. What I found is that large oral doses of powdered marble or oyster shell do not magically translate into greater bone mass. That requires a multi-step process facilitated by minerals that unlock several blood barriers so that calcium can pass from the digestive tract into blood vessels, into red blood cells, etc. - and ultimately into bone mass. Without those supporting minerals the result is a calcium enriched bowel movement, at best, or, at worst, a greater risk of calcium buildup in arteries and/or kidneys. Smaller doses - 600mg at bedtime is what I do. It also helps me to sleep. Most doctors recommend no more than 1200mg daily. Dietary calcium is best, of course. Leafy green veggies and whole milk are a big part of my regimen. Exercise is also an important factor, though I confess I don't do as much of that as I should. By the way, my osteopenia diagnosis has vanished! In my 66th year, my bone scan revealed a 4% increase in my bone mass. My doctor was mystified. Last year - my 70th - my bone mass had increased by another 1%. But please don't take my word for it. Do your own research and always consult your doctor before adding any supplements to your health regimen.
