In research supported by the National Institute of Health, the theory as to why Calcium Citrate shows superior absorption to Calcium Carbonate is elucidated in an excerpt from the study:
Comparison of the absorption of calcium carbonate and calcium citrate after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
"Several studies have shown that the absorption of calcium carbonate is more dependent on gastric acid secretion than calcium citrate [31–36]. A previous study in healthy, postmenopausal women with varying degrees of gastric acid secretion reported a 2.5-fold higher intestinal calcium absorption following a single test load of calcium citrate than calcium carbonate [37]."

The process of building and maintaining bone structure involves numerous biochemical and physiological processes. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are the two primary types of bone cells involved in maintaining skeletal structure. Osteoblasts are responsible for bone mineralization (building new bone). Osteoclasts are responsible for secreting acid and enzymes that help dissolve “old” bone tissue into calcium and other components, some of which may be reused by the body. The balance of building and breaking down bone involves a complex interplay between various nutrients, hormones, and other biochemicals. Our Calcium Citrate formula with Vitamin D is designed to provide the structural components, as well as help support the complex processes involved in building and maintaining strong, healthy bone structure.†
Features
Provides calcium as citrate.
Contains added Vitamin D for its role in supporting healthy bone structure.†
Benefits
Promotes bone growth, density, and strength.†
Calcium has been approved by the FDA for the prevention of osteoporosis.†
Calcium citrate is a highly bioavailable form of calcium for supporting the normal, healthy structure of bone tissue.†
Vitamin D helps support calcium absorption and reduces the amount of calcium lost from bone (bone resorption). Vitamin D plays many important roles in the body, several of which involve supporting bone health.†
LABEL
Vitamin K is found in two primary forms: Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) and Vitamin K2(menaquinone). There are a few different menquinones such as menaquinone 4 and menaquinone 7. The main difference between these forms is that K2 as menaquinone 7 is absorbed at a much higher rate than K1 and remains in the body 36 times longer (allowing it to move beyond the liver into other tissues); whereas K1 is primarily utilized by the liver to make blood clotting factors. In addition to other roles, Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) is essential for healthy, strong bones and for supporting arterial health.*
Features:
Menaquinone-7 is the most efficacious form of Vitamin K for bone and cardio health.
The 45 mcg dosage is the recommendation of leading vitamin K2 researchers. This dosage was also the highest consumption level of the patients in the landmark Rotterdam study: 50% reduction in deaths from cardiovascular disease.*
Menaquinone-7 is made from an all-natural food source (fermented soy).
It is vegetarian (including capsule).
Benefits:
Vitamin K2 helps activate (turn-on) osteocalcin.*
Osteocalcin helps to build new bone matrix by aiding the binding of calcium.
Vitamin K2 is important in the maintenance of bone mineral content and bone strength.*
Vitamin K2 helps activate (turn-on) MGP, which is responsible for regulating the amount of calcium that accumulates in arterial walls.*
Vitamin K2 supports the integrity of arterial walls through the regulation of calcium in the body.*
Vitamin K2 helps support the health and elasticity of arterial walls.*
Suggested Use: Adults take one (1) vegetarian capsule daily at mealtime, or as directed by a health care professional.

Vitamin D, often called the “sunshine vitamin”, is really a hormone that has been categorized as a vitamin. Only a few foods naturally contain vitamin D, including fatty fish and cod liver oil. Fortified foods such as milk and cereal are the major dietary sources of vitamin D, but is estimated that 40% of the U.S. population is vitamin D deficient. Therefore, supplementing the diet with extra vitamin D is essential for optimal health.

Background:
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that has many important functions in the body including antioxidant activity, support of normal, healthy collagen, synthesis of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, carnitine production and the support of normal, healthy immune function. PureWay-C® is a scientifically advanced form of vitamin C which binds ascorbic acid to lipid metabolites such as fatty acids, esters and fatty alcohols to enhance digestion, absorption, cellular uptake and retention as well as utilization of essential vitamin C in the body. The increased cellular uptake and retention of vitamin C, results in enhanced vitamin C functions.*
Features:
Contains vitamin C bound to lipid metabolites.
This form is able to enhance the absorption and utilization of vitamin C.*
Added calcium to create non-acidic, “GI friendly” delivery system.
Synergistic benefits of citrus bioflavonoid complex.
Available in 500 mg tablets and vegetarian capsules as well as 1000 mg tablets.
Benefits:
PureWay-C® allows vitamin C to more efficiently pass through the cell membrane, be retained and utilized by individual cells for all vitamin C related functions.*
Numerous studies show the benefits of Pureway-C® over other forms of vitamin C, including calcium ascorbate and ascorbic acid in regards to:
- 2 hour cellular uptake higher with Pureway-C®.*
- cellular uptake and retention over a 24 hr time period higher with
Pureway-C®.*
Due to better absorption and retention, studies demonstrate vitamin C functions are enhanced including:
- support of wound healing activities*
- immune system support*
- promoting healthy levels of c-reactive protein
- antioxidant activity*
Comparative studies using PureWay-C® show significantly greater antioxidant activity over other forms of vitamin C.
Citrus bioflavonoids help enhance the biological benefits of vitamin C.*

Essential for Energy Production*
Methylcobalamin
Vitamin B-12 is necessary for the production of energy from fats and proteins and is well known for its critical role in DNA synthesis, as well as in homocysteine metabolism.* Methylcobalamin is the co-enzyme form of Vitamin B-12 that has been found to be especially critical in the maintenance of a healthy nervous system.* Dietary sources are almost exclusively of animal origin (meat and dairy) and supplementation with B-12 may be especially important for strict vegetarians. NOW® Methyl B-12 is vegetarian/vegan (non-animal derived).

Fat-Soluble Vitamin C
NOW® Ascorbyl Palmitate is a highly stable form of ascorbic acid, or vitamin C. Ascorbyl palmitate is soluble in both water and lipid, and this dual solubility allows it to be incorporated into cell membranes where it neutralizes free radicals and helps maintain healthy tissues.* While it possesses all of the antioxidant properties of vitamin C, it can also more easily penetrate the blood-brain barrier, facilitating the extension of its antioxidant activities to the brain and nervous system.*
