The calcium comes from Lithothamnion corallioides, a calcified red seaweed harvested whole. Vitamin D3 is cholecalciferol and vitamin K2 is menaquinone-7 (MK-7), and the formula is vegan. Glycine at 1.7 g is the largest single ingredient by weight. Citric acid gives the fizz, and the taste comes from raspberry flavour sweetened with xylitol and stevia. The jar is marked vegan, gluten-free and non-GMO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost calcium and magnesium formulas come as tablets or capsules, often several a day. IonicBone is a single teaspoon of powder taken as a warm drink, which suits people who dislike swallowing large calcium tablets. Its calcium dose is modest at 100 mg, while magnesium is twice that at 200 mg per teaspoon. The 300 g jar holds about 54 servings and the 150 g jar about 27.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to take it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdults take 1 teaspoon once a day with food, a few hours before or after other medications or natural health products. Put the powder in a mug, add about 2 ounces of hot water while stirring and let it fizz until fully dissolved, then top up with 4 more ounces and drink slowly. Consult a health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking blood thinners. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits adults, including vegans, who want magnesium, calcium, D3 and K2 together in one daily drink, and people who prefer a warm drink to pills. The 150 g jar is a smaller way to try the taste before moving to the 300 g size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePurica IonicBone FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I take it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDissolve 1 teaspoon in hot water, starting with 2 ounces until it stops fizzing, then add 4 more ounces and sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it vegan?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
