Calcium -
180 tabs, (Enzymatic Therapy)
Calcium with Magnesium, Phosphorus & Vitamin D
Multi-calcium blend, dynamic bone-building action
Benefits- Provides more calcium and vitamin D than drinking 3 glasses of whole milk, without the fat and calories.
- Contains the right balance of calcium and phosphorus for active absorption.
Key Features- Unique forms of minerals including calcium and phosphorus—the exact form found in bones.
- Highly bioavailable form of calcium with superior absorption.
Support your bones now so they’ll support you later This blend of calcium, vitamin D and other minerals supports and maintains optimum bone health. Additionally, calcium may reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
RESEARCH DATA
High-risk groups for osteoporosis include teen and young adult females, most especially White and Asian women, menopausal women and older men and women. A lifetime of regular exercise and a healthy diet that includes calcium builds and maintains good bone health and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life. Daily intakes above 2,000 mg are not likely to provide any additional benefit to bone health.
SUGGESTED USAGE
Three tablets daily with food.

How It Works
Bone is an intercellular framework, or matrix, of collagen fibers impregnated with calcium phosphate. The human skeletal structure allows for great tensile and compressible strength, yet is light enough to be easily moved through coordinated muscle contractions. As a dynamic tissue, bone undergoes continual remodeling throughout life. Two bone cells, osteoclasts and osteoblasts, are the primary facilitators of this process.
Osteoblasts are bone-building cells that synthesize and secrete osteoid, the organic compound of the bony matrix. Osteoblasts also participate in the mineralization of the organic matrix. Osteoclasts are responsible for the resorption of the bone matrix and the release of calcium and phosphate from bone.- Ideally, replaced bone should equal absorbed bone. Three major factors influence the equilibrium of bone remodeling:
- The function of specific biochemicals, including hormones, growth factors, and cytokines that modulate the process,
- The frequency of mechanical stress, which generates new bone and the replacement of minerals through the opposing forces of weight bearing and muscle pull, and,
- Adequate intake of calcium and phosphate, minerals stored in the bony matrix that provide healthy integrity and strength.
If the process is unbalanced, a net loss of bone will result.
Osteoporosis is characterized by a continual loss of bone from the matrix. Low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue often results in bone fragility and an increased susceptibility to fractures, especially of the hip, spine, and wrist. Due to lack of associated symptomology, an acute bone fracture or vertebra collapse often heralds the diagnosis. Collapsed vertebrae may initially be felt or seen in the form of severe back pain, loss of height, or spinal deformities such as kyphosis (chronically stooped posture).
Osteoporosis has also been linked to tooth loss and periodontal disease. The alveolar process is the segment of the jawbone that supports the teeth. Osteoporotic loss of alveolar bone has been linked to increased tooth mobility, the development of periodontal disease, and subsequent tooth loss.
The reproductive hormone estrogen promotes healthy bone density in both men and women. Estrogen receptors on bone surfaces facilitate bone resorption and bone growth. During perimenopause, as estrogen production slows, the number of estrogen receptors also diminishes. Increasingly lower estrogen levels impair the ability of bone cells to adequately build bone, resulting in loss of bone density and strength.
While an adequate calcium intake during childhood is essential to prevent the disease, calcium intakes of 1,000 to 1,200 mg a day in adults has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of osteoporosis-related fractures. Recognizing that most adults do not or cannot obtain sufficient dietary calcium, the National Academy of Sciences, the National Osteoporosis Foundation and other health promoting organizations support the use of a dietary supplement containing calcium and other minerals to meet these needs.
Vitamin D
Cholecalciferol is the most widely known of the forms of vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin that is stored at lesser amounts than other fat-soluble vitamins, requiring consistent and adequate intake. The primary functions of vitamin D are the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the intestines and bone mineralization and mineral homeostasis through the regulation of blood calcium levels. Clinical studies have indicated that vitamin D supports healthy bone formation. Supplementation with vitamin D has been shown to support healthy musculoskeletal function in older adults. Vitamin D with calcium supplements has also been demonstrated to support oral health, including healthy teeth.
Calcium
The most abundant mineral in the body, calcium has a wide range of biologic roles, most notably in the maintenance and integrity of bone and teeth. Calcium is required for appropriate blood clotting responses, nerve impulse transmissions, muscle contractions, and cell metabolism. Calcium supplementation has been studied for its possible role in supporting healthy pregnancy, healthy cell development in the colon, the retention of healthy blood pressure that is already within the normal range, supporting healthy body mass index (BMI), and supporting healthy lipid levels (both low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels).
In nature, calcium exists only in combination with other compounds. The absorbability of various calcium compounds has been extensively debated and researched. A recent meta-analysis of 15 calcium bioavailability clinical trials concluded that absorption of calcium citrate was superior over calcium carbonate and more beneficial to osteoporosis. Research has demonstrated that calcium supplements, if taken regularly, may help prevent progression of osteoporosis and related fractures.
Phosphorous
Phosphorus, in the form of phosphate, is essential for the process of bone mineralization. Approximately 85 percent of the phosphorus in the adult human body is located in bone structures. Recent evidence determined that phosphate regulate genes involved in bone mineralization.
There is a strong co-dependence of calcium and phosphorus. This is effectively demonstrated in the development of bone and in the support of soft tissue and bone health. Phosphorus intake for the support of bone health may be more important than currently recognized. Recent research suggests that calcium phosphate nutritional supplements offer the most effective support for healthy bones.
Magnesium
As with calcium and phosphorus, most of the magnesium in the body in found in skeletal structures, providing structural and storage functions. Magnesium assists in numerous enzyme functions throughout the body. Magnesium supplementation may also support the retention of healthy cholesterol levels already within normal limits, and is well-known for supporting the immune system. Clinical studies have found that magnesium supports healthy bones in young adults.
FAQ
Can you tell me why the calcium products don't mention that they need to be taken with food? I've heard that food improves absorption.
Calcium absorption varies based on many things, including the form of calcium as well as the presence of food in the digestive tract. While some research suggests that absorption might be a little better with food, it is not necessary to take calcium supplements with food to receive health benefits. If an individual has a sensitive stomach, we do recommend taking supplements with food to lessen the chance for stomach upset.
