ALL ONE Vitamins

One of the most common questions asked by consumers of the ALL ONE product line is, “What type of Calcium do we use in our product?” After many phone calls to our chemist and many articles read, we have discovered why there is a controversy. Many articles are written stating that Calcium Carbonate is not easily digested and therefore not the Calcium of choice. This may be true if you are taking Metamucil, Tums or tablets; however, it is not true of the ALL ONE Multiple Vitamin Mineral supplements.

Calcium needs to be bioavailable. Meaning, can the body use it? Certain Calcium is more soluble than others. Soluble means capable of being dissolved. Bioavailability is not the same as solubility. Calcium Carbonate is an insoluble Calcium when put into water. Scientists have found that solubility has nothing to do with bioavailability. Once the Calcium enters the blood, it has to be put to use in the body. That’s the real key to bioavailability. The scientific results of the body using Calcium is that no matter what Calcium is ingested into the body, once it enters the stomach it becomes Calcium Phosphate in the intestine and only then enters the blood. The bottom line is ALL CALCIUM IS CREATED EQUAL in the bloodstream.

It matters less which Calcium you ingest than when you ingest it. Calcium taken with a meal is better absorbed than Calcium taken between meals. Remember that the Calcium in the ALL ONE product is like a meal, because it has chelated Calcium, which means it is bonded or attached to the protein molecules and then vitamins are added. ALL ONE includes protein, minerals and vitamins in every dose, just like eating a food.

One final controversy surrounding Calcium is the ratio of Calcium to Magnesium, should it be 2:1? Most nutritionists believe that Magnesium is necessary for the assimilation of Calcium; however, the amount of Calcium to Magnesium ratio is under great controversy. We at Nutritech feel that the ALL ONE has been tested over time (35 years) and the way ALL ONE is formulated allows for the highest form of the greatest quantity of vitamins and minerals to be absorbed.
