Reflects current research on the role of vitamin D in bone health
Utilizes most absorbable form of calcium available
Product Research
Calcium is perhaps the most important nutrient for the maintenance of bone health. As we age, our bones become more susceptible to damage as our bone building cells, known as osteoblasts, diminish while the cells responsible for bone destruction, osteoclasts, continue to thrive. With proper calcium intake, one can help offset this potential damage. Calcium citrate has been found to be the most efficiently absorbed form of calcium available, and mixed with vitamin D makes for an outstanding bone support product. Vitamin D has been found in clinical studies to help decrease falls among the elderly, reduce low back pain, and help the absorption of calcium into the system.
Building strong bones, teeth and regulating muscle contractions are its main functions. The popularity calcium maintains validates its holding in the top sellers list. Calcium is critical to life and continuously circulates in the blood. Without adequate calcium in the blood, the body will pull from its calcium stores (bones) and thereby cause the bones to eventually weaken. Food sources include: • Dairy • Almonds • Kale • Tofu • Broccoli • Fortified foods (orange juice, cereal, soy milk) • Sardines
The average dietary intake of calcium per day for a person who does not consume dairy products is about 300 mg, far short of the approximately 1,000 mg that is recommended. The most popular form of calcium is carbonate, but is it the best source? The debate about the optimal source of calcium continues because the answer is unknown. Studies have been inconclusive regarding the best form because they do not take into account the factors affecting absorption. For example, taken with or without food, time of day, separated dosages, physiological need, protein, caffeine, fat, citrus, age, activity and individual enzymatic activity.
