why is calcium an ingredient? I heard it impedes HCA affectiveness

It does impede the effectiveness if the dosage of calcium is high. So its important to notate the dosage of calcium per dosage. Small amounts of calcium will have minimal effects. Calcium is added to HCA because it is used as a stabilizing alkaline material. lessens lactone formatio

I take this because I take 5000 IU's of Vit D3 per day and in order for the calcium in your blood to actually go into your bones, you need 100 mcg of MK7 K2 per 1000 IU's of D3. This is critical for men because calcium floating around in the arteries is really not a good thing... This element is essential for preventing osteoporosis so don't leave it out!

Hello, There is actually both calcium citrate and calcium carbonate in this vitamin. Hope this helps!

Yes, it does 105mg of calcium...Supposedly, calcium can cause the HCA to be less effective. I bare to differ this brand works great! And it has the highest HCA that I've found 80% which is what you need to burn fat! Hope this helps you.

Marisa, thank you for your question and your interest in HUMANOLABS products. While it is true, as another reader pointed out, that there is not much room left when each capsule contains almost 800mg of garcinia cambogia. However, this is not the main reason why we do not add supplemental calcium or potassium. Our garcinia cambogia is extracted in a manner that leaves it in a water soluble form. It is this factor more than any other that determines bioavailability. We have seen claims recently that warn consumers to avoid products that contain calcium as they purportedly render the active HCA useless. This is not the case. In fact, in virtually all of the clinical trials a standardized form of HCA, a calcium-potassium salt of (-)-hydroxycitric acid was utilized. Moreover, according to www.drugs.com and referencing garcinia cambogia "some salts used in commercial products are water soluble and bioavailable, and are a good source of calcium (495 mg) and potassium (720 mg)" Bottom line, bioavailabilty is very important but it has nothing to do with avoiding calcium and everything to do with getting a water soluble form of garcinia cambogia extract which as a result will also contain calcium and potassium salts. Sorry for the lengthy explanation but there is considerable misinformation out there on this topic and we hope that exchanges like this will help eliminate some of the confusion.

I don't use Mine at all since I had it tested and it contained large amount of calcium, which my husband's arthritis can not stand.

Calcium in high amounts may inhibit HCA, which is the active ingredient in Garcinia Cambogia. However, since some of our clients have a low Calcium intake, they can benefit from this presentation of our Garcinia Cambogia, without no harm being done to its efficiency and potency.

Agreed - kind of hard to buy a calcium supplement that doesn't bother to list the calcium content :)

They make different kinds to satisfy their customers choices. Some want it with calcium, others do not. I prefer to get the one with calcium because it provides with with your calcium intake which is great for the body. If you take in a lot of calcium a day then I would get the one without calcium. I have tried both. They both get you results. Either choice you make you cannot go wrong. They both work great.

I'd quit the calcium supplement as we usually get enough from our food. Too much calcium without magnesium can cause big problems.

Hi, I do not have the bottle with the ingredients with me today. I will have the bottle, after Thurs. You can look up the ingredients on the internet. Try typing in Solgar Calcium with D ingredients. I was told years ago that it was the best calcium, at the Hospital for Special Surgery and have been using it since. I hope that this helps.

I don't have this but I went to Nature Made's website. It contains 100 micrograms of vitamin K (K2 - mk7) and some fillers. No calcium.

That's a great question! Calcium inhibits the build up of fat, however in large amounts it MAY inhibit Hydroxycitix Acid, which is the content provided by Garcinia Cambogia. Some people have seen great results with Garcinia with Calcium, others haven't. In order to cater to all of our clients, we have presentations of Garcinia with and without Calcium. :DIf you have any other questions please feel free to give our Certified Sports Nutritionists a call at 866-807-5066, we'll gladly answer any of your questions :D
