Chewable Calcium - How it Works

Background

Calcium is an essential mineral required as a structural component of bones and teeth. It is also necessary for cardiovascular, nervous system and muscle function. The minerals magnesium, silicon and boron are also believed to play a significant role in bone health. Vitamin D is essential for proper absorption and utilization of calcium in the body. Research has recently shown that maintaining proper calcium intake throughout the life cycle, especially in women, helps prevent bone loss in later life. Many women cannot meet their daily calcium intake with food alone, frequently making supplementation necessary.

Because of its ease of use, this unique chewable wafer increases patient compliance especially when there is difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules. In addition to the special blend of calcium from calcium citrate, citrate malate and carbonate, this formula provides essential synergistic minerals plus vitamin D making it one of the most complete chewable calcium complex formulas available. The delicious tasting formula is available in all-natural citrus flavor and is sweetened with fructose and sorbitol.

In addition to calcium supplementation, it is essential that patients eat properly, avoid “bone-robbing” substances (nicotine, caffeine, excessive salt), receive regular chiropractic adjustments, and perform weight bearing exercises to help maintain bone strength. Appropriate exercises may include walking, dancing or cycling, plus strengthening exercises for specific areas such as the spine and wrist.

Tests by ConsumerLab.com have found multivitamins that were short on ingredients, failed to dissolve properly, or were contaminated with heavy metals.
ConsumerLab.com, New Product Review: Multivitamin and Multimineral Supplements, Posted 4/1/09

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has found that manufacturing problems have been associated with dietary supplements.
