Used to support and maintain bone health.
4 tablets contain:
Vitamin D3 – 25 mcg (1,000 IU) (cholecalciferol)
Vitamin K2 – 65 mcg (menaquinone-7 from fermented soybeans)
Calcium – 1,000 mg (from calcium dimaleate, glycinate [chelated amino acid form], and citrate)
Magnesium – 500 mg (from magnesium dimaleate, glycinate [chelated amino acid form], citrate, and oxide)
Zinc – 5 mg (from zinc glycinate, chelated amino acid form)
Copper – 0.5 mg (from copper glycinate, chelated amino acid form)
Manganese – 2 mg (from manganese glycinate, chelated amino acid form)
Sodium – 30 mg
Boron – 2 mg (from boron citrate)
In the Calcium Complex, the minerals are in chelated form. Glycinate, one of the most bioactive chelates, is highly bioavailable and well absorbed by the body without irritating the gastrointestinal tract.
Microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable cellulose, vegetable stearic acid, silicon dioxide, vegetable magnesium stearate, vegetable glycerin.
Contains: soy and milk.
Does not contain: starch, gluten, yeast, sugar, artificial flavors, sweeteners, preservatives, or colorants.
About 99% of the body’s calcium is found in bones and teeth. Along with vitamin D3, calcium supports bone health at any age. It is essential for bone mineralization and hormone production that helps maintain normal calcium and phosphorus levels in bones and blood. Calcium contributes to proper energy metabolism, neurotransmission, and blood clotting. It also stimulates the release of calcitonin, which helps direct calcium from the blood to damaged bone tissue. Alongside D3, calcium helps maintain mineral balance during postmenopausal periods and reduces the risk of osteoporosis. Calcium deficiency may cause muscle spasms (cramps in the lower limbs), and long-term deficiency can lead to rickets and osteomalacia.
Vitamin D3 ensures proper absorption and utilization of calcium in the body. Its deficiency decreases bone mineralization, leading to osteoporosis and fractures. D3 supports the normal function of neuromuscular and immune systems, enhances resistance to infections and viruses, and increases serotonin levels. Together with calcium, it prevents overproduction of parathyroid hormone and reduces bone resorption (loss of calcium from bones).
Taking vitamin D3 may increase calcium deposition in blood vessels, potentially leading to vascular sclerosis and calcification. Recent studies have highlighted vitamin K2’s crucial role in calcium metabolism. It activates the protein osteocalcin, which helps transfer calcium from blood vessels to bones. K2 also inhibits arterial calcification by carboxylating matrix GLA protein (MGP), improving vascular elasticity.
Magnesium plays a vital role in calcium metabolism. Calcium absorption is regulated by parathyroid hormone (PTH), whose production depends on adequate magnesium levels. Therefore, magnesium deficiency can reduce calcium absorption.
Zinc is essential for cell division, DNA and RNA synthesis, and collagen production. It is vital for proper growth and fetal development during pregnancy. Zinc and magnesium are co-factors needed for bone cell regeneration.
Copper supports the synthesis of essential connective tissue proteins like collagen and elastin, which form the matrix of bones and cartilage.
Manganese helps normalize the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans—important for bone and cartilage formation. It also supports energy production and protein/fat metabolism.
Boron regulates parathyroid hormone activity, which in turn affects calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and vitamin D metabolism.
Sodium is important for maintaining electrolyte balance and the normal function of neurons and muscle cells.
Take 4 tablets daily, preferably with meals.
