Calcium Liquid

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body. It is one of the chief components of healthy teeth and bones. It also plays a significant role in muscle contractions which is especially important to the heart which must contract thousands of times each day. Calcium is also required for normal blood clotting activities. Despite its importance to so many functions many individuals do not get adequate amounts in their daily diet, especially to maintain healthy bones and teeth. The National Institutes of Health estimate many individuals get less than one-half their daily needs. In addition, high intake levels of caffeine, phosphates (from soda), or alcohol increases the loss of calcium making the situation worse.

Calcium provides numerous benefits. Insuring adequate intake of calcium throughout your life will decrease the likelihood of developing osteoporosis later in life. Osteoporosis is the loss of bone mass density. Increased calcium along with vitamin D can be very helpful to women entering or past menopause to help them combat the loss of bone mass. Women with PMS may also find relief from some symptoms with more calcium. One long-term study found a lower incidence of stroke in women who took calcium supplements.

Calcium comes in a variety forms. Vitabase Calcium Liquid provides the citrate form which is most easily absorbed. Our calcium citrate has two and half times the bioavailability of calcium carbonate. Multivitamins and mineral supplements rarely provide 100% of the recommended daily amounts because the tablets would be too large. The daily dose of Calcium Liquid provides 100% and is easy to swallow.

Vitamin D is necessary to properly absorb and use calcium. Studies have found that older women taking calcium for osteoporosis often fail to include vitamin D and miss out on the full benefit. Magnesium helps regulate calcium levels in the body. Manganese is a trace mineral which also works towards healthy bone development. Boron is believed to improve the absorption and retention of calcium and magnesium. Phosphorous works closely with calcium to build strong bones and teeth. About 85% of the body’s phosphorous is found in the teeth and bones. Lysine is an amino acid which helps the body absorb and conserve calcium.

This combination provides all the tools you need to build strong bones. The liquid formulation provides superior absorption and is easy to take.
