I'm not sure if you are a pharmacist or not but thought you could provide some insight.
The IP Cal Mag has the following ingredients (took 2 at supper, 2 at snack)
Each tablet contained:
Calcium Citrate 750 mg (equivalent to 150mg of elementary calcium x4 = 600mg)
Magnesium citrate 469mg (equivalent to 75 mg of elementary magnesium x4 = 300 mg)
Zinc citrate 16mg (equivalent to 5mg of elementary citrate x4 = 20mg)
I've substituted the IP Cal Mag for Jamieson Calcium Magnesium (take 4 at supper & 4 at snack)
Each caplet contains:
Calcium 333 mg
Magnesium 167 mg
Zinc - zero
Did I make the right calculations?
Kind of confusing with the reference of "citrate" and "elementary"
Thanks for any help you can provide
If you are not sure just let me know and I will see if someone else can help out
thanks
