Question 1

Does this vitamin contain vitamin d? some of the answers list it as an ingredient, but the pictures of the vitamin bottle do not show it.

Accepted Answer

Hello,This product does not contain Vitamin D. We have included a list of the ingredients below.Calcium(from 80% Carbonate, 10% Citrate, 10% Amino Acid Chelate) 1.0 g (1,000 mg) Magnesium(from 80% Oxide, 10% Citrate, 10% Amino Acid Chelate) 500 mg Other ingredients: Cellulose, Stearic Acid (vegetable source), Croscarmellose Sodium, Magnesium Stearate (vegetable source) and Vegetable Coating.

Question 2

How large are the tablets? Do they split cleanly or crumble?

Accepted Answer

Amazon has a bad habit of combining comments and questions for several forms of a product.I found the tablets too large to swallow. I switched to a long tablet of calcium, and magnesium separately. Sundown Naturals 600 mg calcium plus vitamin D (that's 600 mg calcium PER TABLET) and Sundown Naturals Magnesium 250 mg make a good combination for me, and both are available on Amazon.  They also make a 500 mg Magnesium which I just ordered; I haven't opened it yet, but it's clear that they are larger than the 250mg, but not too large.

Question 3

What is the source of the calcium and magnesium?

Accepted Answer

Calcium (from Calcium Carbonate, Calcium Citrate, Calcium Ascorbate)Magnesium (from Magnesium Oxide, Magnesium Citrate, Magnesium Ascorbate)

Question 4

Is it 1000 mg of *elemental* calcium or just by weight/total? E.g., is the calcium carbonate 800 mg of elemental calcium or 320 mg? (40% of 800)

Accepted Answer

I apologize for not answering sooner; your request got hidden with all the other Amazon emails.                      Here is what the label says:  "Calcium: 1 gram (1000mg) from calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, calcium ascorbate.                              Magnesium: 500 mg from mg oxide, mg citrate, mg ascorbate.                                 I have been using this product for several years.  It does not cause stomach upsets or constipation like some other preparations.                         I hope this helps.
