The most abundant mineral in the human body, calcium is also one of the most important supplements. Calcium is needed to form bones and teeth and also aids in blood clotting, the transmission of signals in nerve cells, reducing the symptons of PMS, muscle contraction, preventing colon cancer, and preventing high blood pressure. But the most important benefit of caclium is in the prevention of osteoporosis - its most well-known role.
While everyone benefits from taking a calcium supplement, its a must for those that rarely consume dairy products - especially women. Most women must take calcium supplements to meet their recommended daily allowances.
Until now, supplementing with quality forms of calcium has been difficult. They have traditionally been made with calcium that is exceptionally low in elemental caclium and difficult to absorb.
Calcium exists only in combination with other compounds. These compounds contain different amounts of elemental calcium - the actual amount of calcium in the supplement. Read labels carefully to determine how much elemental calcium is in the supplement and how many pills to take. Each dose of Easy Calcium contains 750 mg of absorbable organic elemental Calcium.
Most calcium supplements are in tablet form. These tablets first need to be broken down by the body before their calcium becomes available for absorption.
Tablets are held together with binders and coated with substances to help them keep their shape. Due to the binders, fillers and coatings, your body cannot easily get to the nutrients.
As well, tablets traditionally use forms of calcium that are not easily absorbed by the body.
Easy Calcium, on the other hand, is a completely soluble powder. It does not need to be broken down by the body before the active ingredients are released and absorbed.
Not only are the active ingredients right there for the body to absorb through the gastric mucous lining, but they are also available to much a larger surface area - providing for easy absorption.
Easy Calcium uses the most soluble and bioavailable form of calcium. This calcium has been clinically tested and shown to be highly absorbable, stable against heat, salt, pH and oxidation, and is mild on the gastrointestinal system.
Easy Calcium is ideal as a supplement for children, teens, women and the elderly - all of whom require additional calcium at times.
Easy Calcium's high bioavailability and gentleness means that now everyone can easily get all the calcium they need for optiomal health.
Other calcium supplements are difficult to take, poorly absorbed and can cause digestive problems. Easy Calcium is tasteless, odourless and ca be mixed in any drink or soft food without changing its taste. Easy Calcium is highly absorbable and bioavailable, without causing digestive difficulties.
Easy Calcium can be mixed in any drink or soft food (hot or cold). For best results, blend into water, juices, milk, tea, coffee, or any other beverage and enjoy.
Take Easy Calcium twice daily on an empty stomach.
Easy Calcium contains no gluten, yeast, conr, wheat, sugar, salt, soy, starch, dairy, citrus, preservatives, artificial colours or flavours.
It is common for inorganic calcium supplements to cause kidney stones and small intestine stones due to low solubility and absorption rate. Easy Calcium is oneof the few, if not the only, calcium supplements that will not cause kdney stones. This is because Easy Calcium is made of highly soluble and absorbable organic calcium.
Traditional calcium supplements are made of inorganic calcium and rely on "active transport" sites, located at the beginning of the small intestine, for absorption. These sites are vitamin D dependent - calcium is porrly absorbed in the pH medium of the small intestine.
Organic Easy Calcium, on the other hand, is absorbed in its molecular form and doesn't need Vitamin D as a carrier to penetrate the mucous membrane. It takes advantage of the independent "passive diffusion" sites in the more alkaline environment at the end of the small intestine.
These sites allow absorption regardless of stomach acied levels, age, gender, nutrition or hormone status. Highly soluble throughout the entire digestive tract, Easy Calcium is an extremely bioavailable for of calcium.
Tradional calcium supplements also suppress your body's ability to absorb magnesium. In the pH environment of the small intestinve, inorganic minerals tend to attach themselves to one another and form precipitation. Once precipitated, the minerals fall out of solution and become non-absorbable. As a result, inorganic calcium supplements dramatically reduce magnesium absorption.
This is why one needs to supplement magnesium while taking inorganic calcium.
Easy Calcium doesn't interact with other componds thanks to its strong molecular structure. Therefore Easy Calcium will not affect magnesium absorption.
