About This Product
Naka Coral Calcium with Magnesium & Vitamin D is a capsule supplement made with marine grade coral calcium from Okinawa, Japan, combined with magnesium and vitamin D3. Helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth. It comes in bottles of 90 and 180 capsules.
What it is licensed for
It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 02247639, printed on the front of the bottle. Naka Herbs & Vitamins, a family company based in Toronto, makes it.
What is in each capsule
Each capsule provides 225 mg of calcium, drawn from 650 mg of coral calcium. Coral calcium is mostly calcium carbonate, and Naka notes that it also carries 73 other naturally occurring minerals. Magnesium comes in at 125 mg as magnesium oxide, a calcium to magnesium ratio of roughly 2 to 1. Vitamin D is present as cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) at 3.33 mcg, which equals 133 IU.
The non-medicinal ingredients are betaine hydrochloride, silicon dioxide and the capsule shell, which is gelatin from a bovine source and is halal certified. The capsule contains no added gluten, corn, nuts, eggs, dairy products, fish or shellfish, starch, soy, wheat or yeast.
How to take it
Adults take 2 to 3 capsules daily. Take them a few hours before or after any other medication. Some people may experience diarrhoea. The directions are listed under How to Take.
How it compares
Many calcium supplements use calcium carbonate or calcium citrate on their own. Coral calcium is also mostly calcium carbonate, but it comes from coral, which is why it brings other trace minerals with it. The vitamin D amount is modest at 133 IU per capsule, or about 400 IU at three a day, so it sits easily next to a separate vitamin D product if you already take one.
Sizes and value
At 3 capsules a day the 90-capsule bottle lasts a month and the 180-capsule bottle two months. At 2 a day, they last 45 and 90 days. The larger bottle costs less per capsule.
Who it suits
Adults who want calcium, magnesium and vitamin D in one capsule instead of three separate products, and people who like the idea of a mineral source from the sea. Because the shell is bovine gelatin, it is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
