For example, if you see rice flour or maltodextrin (in the other ingredients section) they stimulate insulin, and as we know stimulating insulin triggers testosterone.Thank you Lotus <3
Calcium citrate and magnesium malate are better forms than calcium carbonate & magnesium oxide, meaning less side effects and more benefits.
If you can't source citrate and malate then the carbonate and oxide will do. Or look at plant sources like this one below would work, though I'm not thrilled about the silica, it can cause skin hypersensitivity irritations...I'm allergic to it. One final piece of advice, source products with the least amount of fillers and binders, and if you're unsure about a supplement please post a link so i can check it out for you...or anyone else. Your digestion will thank you. .
Yeah unfortunately Amazon is pretty limited here, so most of Calcium supplements does have only calcium carbonate. I only found one based on calcium citrate, but the amount of calcium delivered was way less (380mg compared to 800/1000 mg of others supplements).
I'll post here the links of the two supplements i found (and considered best), the first one has more vitamins and other substances, while the second is pretty simple and has only Calcium and Vit D3. Pages are in Italian, but the pictures with the ingredients are in English.
I haven't felt bad with Calcium Carbonate, so i guess i can keep going on it?
