specially formulated to provide the body with the minerals magnesium,
manganese, zinc, boron and copper which have been known to improve the
uptake of calcium by the bone. Facts About Calcium Absorption
Calcium is an important nutrient for the body in the development and maintenance
of healthy bones. According to government figures, the average calcium intake of
most American adults, both men and women, fails to meet standards for healthy
bones set by the National Institutes of Health. In fact, on average, women over
age 50 get less than half the calcium they need! Calcium supplementation is also
especially important for athletes.
The majority (99 percent) of the body's calcium is found in the skeletal system.
However, a very small amount (1 percent) circulates in the bloodstream where it
is vital to internal biochemistry. When calcium intake is less than optimal the
body's equilibrium mechanisms will pull calcium from the bones to maintain
adequate calcium in the blood - thus furthering chances of osteoporosis.
Research proves calcium supplements can decrease the risk of bone loss and
fractures due to osteoporosis.
Studies show that supplemental calcium should be chelated and combined with
synergistic nutrients to ensure absorption. In addition to calcium, other
minerals and nutrients promote assimilation of calcium. Certain nutrients which
enhance the absorption and retention of calcium are: potassium, magnesium, zinc,
manganese, copper and boron. These nutrients assist in the assimilation of
calcium so it can work to help stop bone loss and improve electrolyte balance.
