PLUS FORMULA WITH A BALANCED FULLY ABSORBABLE RATIO OF CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM,
BACKED UP WITH VITAMINS C AND D.
THE FACTS:
- This formula is
intended to supplement both Calcium and Magnesium because bone mineralisation
(essential to build and maintain strong bones) requires both minerals.
- Calcium and Magnesium
work together for cardiovascular health.
- It is the exact
ratio needed to ensure maximum absorption and utilisation;
- It works synergistically
as Magnesium is important for the metabolism of Calcium and Vitamin
C, as well as that of Phosphorus, Sodium and Potassium.
- Known as the anti-stress
minerals.
USED TO HELP PREVENT:
- Osteoporosis
- Anaemia
- PMS
- Depression
- Blood clotting
- Insomnia
- Allergies
- Essential for
effective nerve and muscle functioning
- Important for
converting blood sugar into energy
Calcium is the most
abundant mineral in the body and is thus needed in the greatest quantity
by our bodies. About 99% of this is found in bones and teeth. However,
the remaining 1% is of great importance to the body,
Calcium Citrate /
Malate / Carbonate combined with Tricalcium Phosphate is the most absorbable
form of calcium. These well-tolerated and easily absorbed forms of calcium
contain elemental calcium and make it an economical way to obtain additional
calcium.
BENEFICIAL EFFECTS
OF ABSORBED CALCIUM:
- Normalises nerve
and muscle function
- Regulates heartbeat
- Essential for
blood clotting
- Maintains proper
acid base equilibrium (the ideal alkaline level is 7.5)
- Induces sleep
- Generates skin
health.
HELPFUL IN TREATMENT
OF:
- Bone disease
- Backache
- Brittle teeth
- Bone pains
- Tremors in the
fingers
- Absorption of
Vitamin B12
- Athletes in relieving
fatigue
- Those suffering
from depression
- Calming hyperactive
children.
- Pre-eclampsia
in pregnant woman
- More than 10%
of woman over the age of 50 suffers from bone loss leading to fractures,
unless supplemented by calcium. Calcium neutralises excess lactic acid
in the body. Since lactic acid accumulates as a result of strenuous
physical activity or mental stress.
MAGNESIUM
Most of the body's magnesium is found in the bones, along with calcium
and phosphorus. A smaller part of the body's magnesium is found in blood.
BENEFICIAL EFFECTS
OF MAGNESIUM:
- Helps to keep
tooth enamel hard and resistant to decay.
- Plays an important
role by activating up to 100 metabolic enzymes in the body.
- Regulates heartbeat
and muscle contraction
- Protects and supports
nerves
- Helps to utilise
vitamins C and E
- Converts glucose
to energy.
- Helps in utilisation
of proteins.
- It also improves
urine retention
- Keeps calcium
soluble.
EFFECTIVE TREATMENT
FOR:
- Regulation of
Cardiac Arrhythmia
- Congestive cardiac
failure
- Hypertension
- Fatigue
- Diabetes
- ADD (Attention
Deficit Disorder)
- Fibromyalgia
- Migraine headaches
- Menstrual problems
According to the
National Research Council the human body contains approximately 21 grams
of Magnesium.
VITAMIN C
Vitamin C influences several other nutrients. It improves the body's ability
to absorb Calcium and Iron and excrete poisonous Copper, Lead and Mercury.
It lowers cholesterol by converting it into bile acids and is in turn
helped to perform its duties by Zinc. Vitamin C also assists the absorption
of certain Amino Acids, and is needed in greater amounts in high protein
diets used by dieters and hypoglycaemics. It helps to neutralize nitrosamines,
carcinogenic substances which are formed when smoked meats such as ham
and bacon are cured with nitrites to prevent Botulism and preserve an
appetising appearance. Plays a leading role in the body's resistance to
bacterial infections and reduces the effects of allergens in the body.
Vitamin C possesses unique antioxidant properties, which assist in combating
the negative effects of environmental and chemical pollutants.
BENEFITS:
- For the promotion
of healthy gums, skin and connective tissue.
- Vitamin C aids
with the absorption of Iron, and can assist as a tissue antioxidant
to keep cells healthy.
- Vitamin C is the
backbone of any immune boosting programme.
- It is strongly
anti-viral and anti-bacterial
- Acts as a powerful
anti-oxidant
- In recent research
it was consistently found that those who supplemented with Vitamin C
had shorter colds with fewer symptoms.
VITAMIN D
It is known as the sunshine vitamin. Helps the body utilise Calcium more
efficiently. Vitamin D is absorbed together with emulsified fats, through
the intestinal wall. When produced by the sun it is absorbed directly
into the bloodstream. After absorption, it is stored in the liver. It
is also stored in smaller quantities, in the skin, brain and bones. People
who do not drink milk or who are strict vegetarians should be concerned
about their Vitamin D intake. Vitamin D is scares in vegetables. It is
worth noting that when a suntan is maintained the skin ceases to manufacture
Vitamin D.
BENEFITS:
- Promotes absorption
of Calcium and Phosphorus both vital for strong teeth and bones.
- For preventing
Rickets (bent legs in infants and children)
- Helps to assimilate
Vitamin A
- Maintains a healthy
nervous system
- Normal heartbeat
- Efficient blood
clotting.
