While some of us may be sick of being told to go green, when it comes to your health it may actually be valuable advice. Calcium is one of the most heavily used supplements on the market today as the benefits it provides in promoting bone health are well known.
Now, here's something you probably did not know; the calcium supplements you are most familiar with such as calcium carbonate, calcium lactate, and calcium citrate are made up primarily of limestone! I don't know about the rest of you but personally, I gave up eating rocks when I was about two years old. So before you march through the checkout line at Costco with your 3lb jar of calcium tablets, you may be interested in knowing about a new alternative calcium supplements that derives calcium from plants instead of limestone.
The product is called Green Calcium and it is produced by a company called Greek Island Labs. The supplement is made up of 100% raw plant sourced calcium and also contains valuable vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin D3, Vitamin K1, Vitamin K2, and Magnesium. The tablets are quite a bit smaller than those big chunky calcium pills you might be used to and are quite a bit easier to swallow. Each serving contains 76% of your recommended daily allowance of calcium from sources such as organic broccoli, kale, and algae.
This is a great natural supplement for those of you who want calcium but prefer something more natural and gentle on the stomach. Thinking about doing something green today? You may want to skip the light bulb for now and start with what you are putting in your body.
