The Calcium Testby: Mary Jane Horton Excerpt taken from Vegetarian Times/July 1999 Here is a simple test to help you determine whether your body is properly utilizing your health-food store brand or discount-store brand of calcium supplement. Drop a pill into a 6-ounce glass of vinegar, stir and wait for 30 minutes. If it doesn't dissolve, your body probably isn't absorbing it. In general, if a supplement is coated, it probably won't get into your system. Maintaining adequate calcium stores in your bones requires balancing a number of factors. But as daunting, as that may seem, the payoffs - strong bones, normal nerve function, and a healthy heart, make the juggling act will worth the effort. |
