Oregon Health Cal/Mag is one of the most soluble forms of calcium since it is a fully reacted mineral chelate. In simple terms, when calcium is bound to glycine to form calcium bis-glycinate, it becomes an amino acid chelate that can be utilized throughout the body. Chelated means firmly attached. Amino acids such as glycine effectively enhance calcium absorption. This explains why calcium bis-glycinate is nearly 200 times more absorbable than calcium citrate. Choosing a good calcium supplement can be confusing at times. There are several different calcium preparations and hundreds of different formulations available. Most calcium supplements contain calcium citrate, calcium carbonate, or calcium phosphate. These calcium preparations differ in a number of ways, and recent research has shown that calcium bis-glycinate offers benefits that other calcium sources do not. Oregon Health Cal /Mag formula contains 1000 milligrams Calcium Bis-Glycinate, 500 milligrams Magnesium Aspartate, and 200 IU Vitamin D as Ergocalciferol. For every one molecule of calcium there are two molecules of glycine in Oregon Health Calcium Bis-Glycinate. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. Calcium has long been recognized for its ability to keep bones healthy and strong. Calcium also maintains a regular heartbeat and transmission of nerve impulses, lowers cholesterol levels, and helps prevent cardiovascular disease. Most Americans believe they are getting enough calcium through their diet. However, more than 3 out of 4 of Americans are calcium deficient according to a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Calcium deficiency is mainly due the lack of calcium rich foods. When blood calcium levels drop too low, this vital mineral is borrowed from the bones. Signs of calcium deficiency may include back or neck pain, which can be severe because of spinal bone fractures, bone pain or tenderness.
