Sisu Sisu - Liquid Cal Mag Citrates - Creamy Vanilla, 450 ml
Sisu Liquid Cal Mag Citrates - Creamy Vanilla Flavour - Calcium citrate is much more bioavailable than other forms. It is made from calcium carbonate, and has been processed so that each molecule of calcium is bound to a molecule of citric acid. This enhances the stomach’s ability to break down the calcium and transfer it to the blood for distribution to the bones and teeth. This becomes increasingly important as we age. The magnesium in Sisu Cal Mag Citrate is in the highly bioavailable citrate form. The Vitamin D is present as cholecalciferol, which is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Calcium and magnesium also regulate heart contractions and support healthy blood pressure, so this supplement supports several aspects of health with every spoonful.

Why people keep reordering it
- Highly absorbable forms
- Chelated forms your body takes up, instead of oxide that mostly passes through.
- Calm and recovery
- Supports muscle relaxation, sleep quality and everyday stress resilience.
- Gentle on digestion
- Formulated to skip the laxative effect of cheaper magnesium.
Best suited to: wants minerals without swallowing pills, older adults with reduced stomach acid, dosing a 9 to 18 year old.
What the research supports
One tablespoon delivers 500 mg calcium and 200 mg magnesium, both as citrates, plus 500 IU of vitamin D3, in a vanilla base. The 450 mL bottle holds 30 spoons.
Studies use 1000 to 1200 mg of calcium a day.
- Bone density (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis)
- Calcium works with vitamin D to slow bone mineral loss, but mainly in adults whose diet is already short on calcium. People already eating enough see little extra benefit.
- Calcium absorption (evidence: strong, from randomized controlled trial, absorption study)
- Citrate salts don't need stomach acid to break apart, so this form absorbs well on an empty stomach or with low stomach acid, where carbonate performs poorly.
- Muscle cramps (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis)
- Magnesium lets a muscle relax after it contracts. Run low and muscles stay tense and cramp more easily, which the 200 mg here can correct for someone short on it.

Is it right for you
Worth it if
- Wants minerals without swallowing pills
- A tablespoon replaces what would otherwise be a large calcium tablet plus a separate magnesium capsule and a D3 softgel.
- Older adults with reduced stomach acid
- Citrate dissolves on its own where carbonate needs acid to break down, so absorption does not fall away with age or with a light stomach.
- Dosing a 9 to 18 year old
- The label carries a one tablespoon direction for that age band, and a measured liquid is easier to give accurately than splitting a tablet.
Look elsewhere if
- Chasing magnesium for calm or cramps
- A dedicated magnesium bisglycinate at 200 to 400 mg elemental keeps the magnesium and drops the 500 mg of calcium you did not come for.
- Already meeting calcium needs from food
- Total up dairy, fortified plant drinks and tinned fish first. If you are close to 1000 mg, a plain vitamin D3 is the only piece worth adding.
What to expect
Nothing you will notice. This is a slow nutrient supply, not an active. Vitamin D levels move over roughly two months of daily use, and bone changes are measured over years.
How it compares
- Compared with calcium carbonate tablets
- This absorbs without food, is gentler on the gut, and includes magnesium and vitamin D in the same spoon rather than in separate bottles. The tradeoff: Carbonate holds about twice the calcium per gram and costs a fraction as much, so on price per milligram of calcium this loses badly.
- Compared with a cal mag capsule
- Liquid needs no disintegration step and the dose scales smoothly with the spoon rather than in fixed capsule increments. The tradeoff: Capsules do not need refrigerator space, do not run out in 15 days at the full adult dose, and travel without leaking.
