I have been using Pure Essence Labs' Ionic-Fizz Magnesium for at least a year. The lady then working supplements at Whole Foods highly recommended the brand for superior quality. I went to Whole Foods Thursday in search of a calcium supplement for myself. I'm lactose intolerant, and haven't been taking any calcium supplement for several years, eeek. Cheese is my weakness, but in the last year I have cut back on it to help lower my cholesterol.
Lo and behold, I didn't know Pure Essence Labs makes an Ionic-Fizz Calcium Plus!! http://www.pureessencelabs.com/ionic_calcium_fizz.php I snatched that baby right up. It's the exact same ingredients and dosages as the magnesium product plus 250mg of Calcium. So I will buy the Calcium Plus instead of their Magnesium. They're the same price too; $19.99 for the small tub, double size tub only $29.99...Comes with a little scooper. One scoop per 4-6oz of water. It tastes good, too. Raspberry lemonade flavor sweetened with Stevia, a natural sweetener. http://www.stevia.net/
Not sure what age is good to get a bone density test. Will ask my doc in August.
By now you're asking yourself "How does Tammy know she's lactose intolerant?". Well it's very scientific so I hope you can keep up with me. I used to be one of those people that drank milk a lot of times at dinner to help fill me up so I would eat less, ate yogurt almost daily, ice cream some and lots of cheese. Well I think it was Christmastime 1996? I ran out of milk and yogurt. Weather was too cold for me to get out in for several days, and I had other food to live on. After a couple of days of no dairy I noticed the swelling in my stomach went down and the tips of my fingernails were really white, and strong. So I just put two and two together. Oh and I always had a hard time digesting ice cream.
GROSS OUT ALERT! Ice cream would tastes sooo good going down. But when I eat ice cream I would belch it up afterwords. It was like acidic hot sourish cream, yuck!! I haven't bought anything like Lactaid to help me digest when I do eat ice cream. I figured if it worked I'd eat it more often as I love the texture of ice cream. But seriously when I eat it ice cream I should take something to help my body out.
