The benefits of calcium are complex and involve many nutrients. The best source of these nutrients is a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fish, and low in junk-food and sodas. Calcium supplementation can also be of benefit, especially when other factors have been added to further enhance the delivery of the calcium to the tissues.
Whole-istic Solutions’ Calcium Plus is the result of the research and clinical experience of Dr. Joel Robbins . He states, “When it comes to calcium supplementation, the issue is not how many milligrams of a nutrient we are taking; it is how bio-available, or deliverable it is to the cells.” In addition to including key synergistic co-factors, choosing the right form of calcium is also important. Calcium comes in many different forms, but it is well known that the softer forms of calcium, as those used in Calcium Plus , are the most bio-available forms. Potency is all about delivery, bio-availability.
Calcium Plus is a special blend of the following:
Calcium citrate and calcium lactate:
These forms of calcium are the most frequently suggested by doctors, primarily because of their great absorbability and lack of side effects. Since research suggests that individuals vary slightly in the form of calcium they absorb best, both forms are included in this formula to insure maximum benefit.
Magnesium citrate and magnesium amino acid chelate:
As with calcium, the most bio-available forms of magnesium were used in this formula.
Parathyroid gland substance:
The nucleic acids extracted from the parathyroid gland lubricate our own parathyroid gland, helping it to regulate calcium levels in the body. The parathyroid hormone has a potent effect on enhancing absorption of calcium from the small intestine, and suppression of calcium loss in the urine.
Flaxseed oil:
The alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid) in flaxseed oil has been demonstrated to greatly enhance the assimilation of calcium and magnesium.
Wheat germ:
Like flaxseed, the very high oil content of wheat germ aids in the delivery of calcium and magnesium to the cells.
Enzymes:
Amylase, lipase, protease, lactase, cellulase, invertase , and bromelain are added to aid in the breakdown and delivery of the nutrients in this product further enhancing their overall bio-availability.
