Many people wonder why they need to purchase the Plant Minerals at all since the Ultimate Classic contains Plant Minerals. The reason is, the Classic contains enough of the organic minerals found in the Plant Mineral to serve as a co-factor to the other essential nutrients, but not enough to satisfy an individual's total, daily mineral requirement. By itself the Ultimate Classic can be thought of as a super-charged, liquid, amino acid, vitamin drink. Add on the Plant Minerals, though, and the Ultimate Classic / Plant Mineral combination delivers a respectable quantity of the major minerals (in the Classic) and just the right quantity of all the other essential minerals (minor minerals, trace minerals and rare earth minerals).
When Ultimate Classic was formulated as the premier liquid, organic, mineral, vitamin amino acid drink, relatively little attention was given to such considerations as taste, convenience or viscosity. The mandate was, pure and simple, "Pack as much high quality, wide spectrum nutrition into one bottle as is physically possible." In spite of its genesis, most people find the taste perfectly acceptable, especially if it is mixed in or some dilute, orange juice, as Dr. Wallach recommends.
For those few individuals still bothered by the taste even after using orange juice and extra water, we recommend switching to a combination of the Ultimate Tangy Tangerine and the Beyond Osteo Fx. The Ultimate Tangy has a wonderful, tangy, tart, tangerine taste that will tickle and delight your taste buds. Together the Ultimate Tangy and Beyond Osteo Fx make a delicious drink mixed in a tall glass of cold water and provide, actually more, nutritional support than the Classic alone.
Ultimate Tangy is a user-friendly but toned down version of the Ultimate Classic. Lower quantities of calcium, magnesium and zinc in the Tangy ensure smoothness and pouring ease while the added natural flavorings make supplement time, treat time. Beyond Osteo Fx is Dr. Wallach's premier, liquid calcium offering. Since it contains mega quantities of the very nutrients the Tangy is low in, it serves as an ideal companion product to the Tangy.
By definition every essential nutrient (essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids) is vital or "essential" to human health. Withdraw one and, inevitably, over time, a person becomes subject to an average of 10 different degenerative, deficiency diseases. Calcium, though, deserves special attention.
Rather than the average of 10, over 140 different degenerative diseases can be traced to a deficiency in calcium. While the Ultimate Classic contains a respectable 600 mg of calcium per fluid ounce, the Beyond Osteo Fx contains double that, or 1200 mg per fluid ounce. Thus, anyone particularly concerned about calcium deficiency, would do well to consider using the Ultimate Tangy / Beyond Osteo Fx combination rather than the Ultimate Classic exclusively.
Beyond OsteoFx is a very special product. While the Classic sets the standard, in our industry, in terms of a vitamin, mineral and amino acid liquid supplement, the Beyond OsteoFx sets the standard as the most advanced liquid calcium formulation on the market. Beyond OsteoFx contains a combination of two of the highest grade, most digestible forms of calcium, calcium citrate and tricalcium phosphate. By subjecting the calcium in OsteoFx to a relatively new (and expensive!!) technology called "molecular shaving," formulators achieve an unprecedented degree of particle size reduction.
The particles of calcium in Osteo Fx are so fine, in fact, that they go into colloidal suspension. As colloids they are easily and efficiently taken in by the body, transported by the blood and absorbed and put to use by cells throughout. Besides the mechanical advantage of tiny particle size, what makes Beyond OsteoFx both unique and superior is the number of important cofactors it contains. The body requires Vitamin D to absorb, deliver and "pack" calcium and phosphorus molecules into a soft bone matrix. Boron, magnesium, strontium and zinc also play a major role and are included in just the right proportions.
A combination of the Osteo Fx and the Ultimate Tangy not only delivers therapeutic levels of calcium, magnesium and zinc beyond what is physically possible in the Classic, it also delivers all the other so-called "bone minerals" and bone mineral co-factors in a carefully thought through and balanced formula. Considering the fact that over 147 degenerative diseases can be traced to a deficiency in calcium alone, and considering that, as a population our calcium intake is well below optimal levels, the extra expense of a bottle of Osteo Fx is well worth it.*
