Best advice for diabetics: keep your blood sugars in control. Although the presence of magnesium in a calcium tablet hasn't really been proved to affect absorption, vitamin D does help. For best absorption and the most economical price, use calcium carbonate with vitamin D with meals. By the way, there is a lot of hype in the popular press saying that certain calcium products can affect body pH la measure of acidity or alkalinity). These products are usually very high priced and make quite astounding claims. Save your money. There is no proof that taking calcium will affect your body's core pH. We are well into the New Year now. Many have stopped smoking. Others are considering it. When you think that approximately 3 million people die from cigarettes each year and the number will be 10 million in 2025, the idea of stopping smoking is a good one. It will save you money as well as well as your life. Huron Apothecary Ltd. �•�•d; Phone 235-1982, 440 Main St. Exeter "YOUR HEALTH CARE PHARMACY" PHARM ASSIST ��
