Episode 37: Calcea
[00:00-00:29]
Hi, I'm Shane from Path Forward Formulator. If you haven't already had a demo of our product, just click the link in the post above, schedule your demo today, and we'll show you what it's all about. This episode of 3 Minute Thursday is going to be a fun one because we are working with an ingredient that is brand new to our platform and a super interesting ingredient on the market called calcea. This is basically a source of calcium from a marine algae, and if you search for calcea in our data set, you will see it set up a few different ways.
[00:29-00:52]
ways. We're going to go ahead and do a tablet. We're going to start it out at 2 tablets per serving. We can search by brand name, find the Calcia. We're going to put six hundred and fifty milligrams in there. You'll see that's about 50 percent DV. You can see this one is set up as a simple entry, just telling you the source of the calcium, but of course calculating the daily value.
[00:52-01:23]
Let's try something a little different now. We'll search for the calcea. We'll see this entry here where it's telling us how much to use for 50 percent DV. So the difference here is going to be how we set the ingredient record prior one was based on just calcium. and the potency in the material. Here we've set the potency at a hundred percent. We've used the per one hundred gram nutrient tab, changing the defining amount in the ingredient record to 100.
[01:23-01:44]
And what happens now is it also allows us to add in the iron, magnesium, manganese, chromium, and that is part of this ingredient. So as you can see here, we put in the total amount the ingredient record suggests, And we can see all the calculations that it's done based on that.
[01:44-02:14]
Let's go ahead and change it up again. And in this case, we also know that calcea has an amino acid content to it. So we can go in here and find that. find the record that says with the amino acid profile. If we choose this one says, 32 percent calcium, it's alerting us to how much calcium is in here because the potency is set at a hundred and all of the sub components are at. So let's just say we put two thousand milligrams in and let's see what the fact sheet looks like.
[02:14-02:44]
It's gonna give us the mineral content, and then down in the B 3 section, it's gonna show us the total amount of calcea that it's put in, and the amount of amino acids that it's gonna contribute to the formula. After we save a formula with calcea, we can go in, view the record, export the specification sheet, and see where exactly we can get calcea from, which is vegan minerals. And it's that easy, quick, simple, efficient, with a multitude of choices at your fingertips.

Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you next time on 3 Minute Thursdays.
