minerals

[Lindsay]

Are the minerals in Intramax absorbed better than any other form? What about the calcium? Is it absorbed better from Intramax than from Calcium Orotate and what is the rate of absorption from Intramax?

I live in South Africa. Since it's a liquid, it will probably be very expensive to ship here. Any suggestions?

According to the manufacturer, the minerals in Intramax have “nearly 100% absorption.” This claim is based upon the fact that all of the nutrients are bonded to fulvic acid via a 40-day proprietary process. In this process, the individual particles created are angstrom-size and have a very high degree of absorption. In comparison, calcium orotate is generally regarded as having a 90-95% absorption rate, very close to that of Intramax. The form of calcium in Intramax is different, however. It uses the citrate, succinate, and ascorbate forms. Calcium orotate could be used in addition to these other forms since the body can metabolize these calcium salts differently on a cellular level. Dr. Neiper, the pioneer of the orotate carrier, stated that the orotate form has an affinity for the inside of the cell and that the calcium ion is not released until it is delivered to a portion of the cell that can actively use it.

The shipping for South Africa may be expensive from the US. I would recommend calling GHC directly at 1-800-476-0016 or emailing support@ghchealth.com for shipping options and specific prices.
