Calcium Absorption in a Powdered Formula
October 1st, 2008
With regards to Calcium absorption and dosage. It is true that if you are taking straight Calcium by itself, in a pill form, your body can only accept 500 to 600 mg at a time. However, the Calcium in ALL ONE is combined (Proteinated), and bound, to the Whey protein in the formula. Protein digestion, while very thorough, and takes place over a 4 to 5 hour period. In that sense it makes the Calcium in ALL ONE ‘time released.’ Of interest to note here is that when my father was first developing ALL ONE back in the early 1970’s he was so excited about this feature of these formulations that he named them TRN (for time released nutrition). Over the years as other companies came out with time release products that employed the use of shellac (actually called timed disintegration) we changed the name to of our products to ALL ONE as it more accurately represented what our formulas are.
In conclusion, the proximity to the protein and also the complex nature and abundance of other nutrients and food factors in the formula all aid and assist the absorbtion the Calcium in ALL ONE.
