What Inno-Cal-Mag Advanced is licensed for

It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80096646. The licence also lists:

• As part of a healthy diet, may help prevent bone loss.
• Helps in the absorption and use of calcium and phosphorous.

What's in each softgel

• Calcium, 200 mg: from calcium ascorbate, calcium phosphate dibasic and Albion di-calcium malate.
• Magnesium, 100 mg: from Albion magnesium bisglycinate chelate, buffered with magnesium oxide.
• Phosphorus, 62.5 mg: from calcium phosphate dibasic.
• Vitamin C, 15 mg: from calcium ascorbate.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, and almost all of it sits in bones and teeth. Magnesium works with it in tissue formation and muscle function. Vitamin D3 helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus, and vitamin K2 activates the proteins that bind calcium in bone. Boron and zinc are trace minerals that take part in mineral metabolism and connective tissue.

At the label dose of 4 softgels a day, you get 800 mg of calcium, 400 mg of magnesium, 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 and 120 mcg of K2.

Softgel format, and what that means

The softgel shell is gelatin, so it isn't vegetarian. The fill uses medium chain triglycerides, lecithin and glycerin. CanPrev lists it as free of gluten, dairy, soy, wheat, yeast, sugar, artificial colours, flavours and preservatives. If you'd rather a capsule built on microcrystalline hydroxyapatite, look at CanPrev Healthy Bones MCHA.

120 or 240 softgels?

The formula is identical. At 4 softgels a day, 120 last 30 days and 240 last 60.

How to take it

Adults 19 and over take 2 softgels, 2 times a day, with food, a few hours before or after other medications or natural health products. Ask a health care practitioner before use if you are taking any medication, including blood thinners. Some people may experience diarrhea. The full directions are under How to Take.
