PUREST CALCIUM

That day when my mum was talking to her colleague about something about their calcium supplement, suddenly, another colleague (88) heard their conversation and approached them,

“ U are also taking calcium arr?? Which brand is u taking ar???”

“ Dunno wor… It was given by my doc from the hospital” my mum said.

“U took it from the hospital arrr??? Aiyo! Hospital one no good one arrr… They put a lot of other chemical substance into it, got side effect one, no good for health.” 88 said.

“How come? It is provided by the hospital pharmacy and prescribed by the doctor worr??” my mum defended.

“Aiya! The doctor only knows how to treat diseases marrr, they dunno much about supplement one… I got one friend who is a pharmacist told me that the best calcium in Malaysia is . Have u ever heard about it? The calcium tablet of our company is the purest and the most original one, no other chemical substance added.”, She continued, “U should stop that calcium given by your doc and try this. I am a member; I can give your discount.”

“For me, whatever brand is it, it’s still the same larr… no need to change larrr. Anyway thanks a lot.” My mum responded.

“Where got same? This is for your own health, how can u not choose the best for yourself? Try this larr…Bla bla bla” that lady kept promoting and my mum got fed up and just walked away with her friend ignoring her.

Doctors do not know much about the ingredient in the drug and this lady actually knows more than doctors?

The ingredient for calcium is different between brands?

The calcium prescribed in hospital got side effect?

What did she meant by most original and purest?

I supposed the purest calcium that she meant was actually raw material collected from limestone.

Since nowadays everyone is emphasizing taking the most natural and original substance, I had even imagined that one day that I would bite on a piece of limestone for my calcium supplement!

By that time, the will be new production line for limestone factories!!!!!
