Calcium - does the body good!

So why is calcium so important? Calcium helps support bone health, helps maintain healthy immune functions and optimal cholesterol levels, promotes normal regulation of hormones and enzyme production, and supports healthy body weight – just to name a few! 




However just drinking lots of milk or eating a lot of dairy isn't necessarily going to do it for your body. Why? Well one thing is the pasteurization blocks or minimizes the absorption of calcium. So most will need to supplement.

While there are a ton of health benefits when it comes to taking Calcium, you should always talk to your doctor before starting a supplement regime to make sure that its right for you!

When you decide to take a calcium supplement it can get "complicated" The problem is calcium  is one of the hardest things to absorb. The body will only "accept" about 300 mg. at a time. So many doctors will tell patients to take 1500 mg. enormous amounts to get just that 300 mg to absorb. Calcium supplements are usually the size of "horse pills" and contain binders &  fillers that prevent absorption as well. And to add insult to injury, many calcium supplements end up constipating a lot of folks.

In order for it to be accepted by the body there needs to be an exact ratio of magnesium in the formulation as well. Of which many manufacturers leave out. Rendering the calcium just about useless.

Isotonix Calcium Plus is so much more than calcium; one serving provides your body with a healthy dose of vitamin D3, magnesium, vitamin C and boron, too! Calcium can be a hard mineral to absorb, and these nutrients aid your body in the process of breaking it down so you can get the most out of it. 

It is an isotonic capable formulation. Isotonic is a medical term meaning like body fluid. Because it's a powder that you mix with an exact amount of water and drink on an empty stomach, it is readily absorbed. Your body accepts it as part of you, like tears and saliva. Within 5 minutes it is in the blood stream. Approximately 95% absorption rate, depending on your "plumbing" :-) Tastes like a fizzy orange juice. 

Two servings a day is suggested on the bottle. (remember it is a "supplement" and you should be eating green leafy veggies, almonds and other calcium rich foods daily)  Each serving is about 350 mg of 5 kinds of calcium. (because it's isotonic they can get "by" with forms of calcium no other delivery system can) Since the body only likes to see about 300 mg of calcium at a time & because of it's maximum absorption capability, it's best to "split" the doses up. Take one in the a.m. and one before bed (may help you sleep better too!)

Drink up!
