When I heard that, right away I switched to calcium that's gotten from a plant source - AlgaeCal - and my digestive woes have cleared up. HOWEVER, I have to say that I used to take New Chapter's Bone Strength Take Care product because they used AlgaeCal as their calcium ingredient. But I recently heard that New Chapter actually stopped using AlgaeCal and went for a cheaper calcium that's not even certified organic. New Chapter did not do anything to notify consumers like me about that change, which I consider a BAIT AND SWITCH. Has anyone else heard about this? I think it's an awful thing to do to women like me who are just trying to take the right supplements for our bones!

However, I must recommend a cream I STOPPED using because after 6 months it permenantly improved my face. Its called the “Vitamin enhanced face firming serum” from the Made from Earth product line. You see it firm your face after you put it on and since its organic and chemical free - in the long run - i have now stopped using it because my face has really firmed up!! Chemicals in skincare products will cause your skin to sag in the long run. Thats because those chemicals dont belong there and impact your skins elasticity. I would defiunitely recommend the Face firming serum, from Made from Earth. Im serious, I stopped using it after 6 months of use. . .i went through a bottle a month for 6 months and thats it! i saw a major difference. . .i highly recommend it to anyone who is tired of trying all the different face creams. . .

Also the insights on the role "D" plays with calcium is very interesting and great knowledge for women and men alike! Good to hear Dr W. speak about the value of fish oil for brain function.

He has always impressed me has coming first has a doctor and professor, then has a person who has started his own product line. Thanks for bringing us this information.

The thing I like most about mineral makeup is that the ingredeits are supporting healthier skin so it is better to wear it than to not.

CoQ10 levels are reported to decrease with age and to be low in patients with some chronic diseases such as heart conditions, muscular dystrophies, Parkinson's disease, cancer, diabetes, and HIV/AIDS. Some prescription drugs may also lower CoQ10 levels. I have been using CoQ10 topically for the last year and have notice great change in my skin!

The value of mineral makeup as I understand it, is that it helps add moisture to the skin cells. Mineral Makeup seems like it would be a great addition to a mature skin care approach.
