New
research suggests that potassium and magnesium as found in
vegetables and fruits may be far more crucial to healthy bones
than calcium. There is a significant correlation
between high levels of fruit and vegetable intake and bone
density, unlike the NEGATIVE correlation with consuming dairy
products and poor quality calcium supplements.
The traditional emphasis on higher calcium than magnesium is
also distorted. Most calcium products provide magnesium in
them, as supplemental calcium tends to bind up magnesium in
the intestines. There has long been evidence that the
magnesium level in supplements should be higher than
calcium. More recently researchers have determined that the
magnesium should be far higher.
The Right Calcium
Dietary minerals need to be organic, ionically-bonded in a food form. The best sources are
organically-grown fresh fruits, vegetables and
superfoods.
As a secondary supplemental
alternative "chelated" minerals are offered by the
marketplace. In a special laboratory process these have been
chemically-bonded with an agent that the body recognizes as
food. (NOTE: The
term "chemical" does not only apply to synthetic chemicals. It refers to
any interactions between elements and compounds, whether synthetic, natural,
inorganic or organic. Everything in the body is a "chemical" compound with
chemical bonds. Natural biological processes in the body are "biochemical"
reactions.)
"Chelated" minerals,
those bonded with food
acids, are known to absorb better in the human body as they are recognized
as food substances.
The forms of chelated calcium available are: calcium aspartate (an amino acid chelate), calcium lactate (the form
found in raw milk and dairy products), calcium citrate (chelated with
citric acid as found in citrus fruits), calcium gluconate
(chelated with gluconic acid), calcium orotate (chelated with
orotic acid), calcium ascorbate (chelated with ascorbic
acid), and calcium malate (chelated with malic acid).
Although lab chelated minerals are better absorbed than
"rock dust form", such as calcium carbonate and dolomite, or or ground oyster
shells, chelated minerals are still not as good as those in plant form.
I DO NOT
recommend the many products such as orange juice, soy milk and cereals with
added calcium. The calcium in these is usually not well-absorbed, and there is a danger of
getting too much calcium, as mentioned earlier.
The Wrong Calcium
I especially DO NOT recommend calcium carbonate,
dolomite, di-calcium phosphate, tri-calcium phosphate, oyster shell or bone
meal calcium products. "Antiacid"
products touted for calcium are of the lowest quality and should be avoided.
You have probably heard about
"coral calcium". Now that coral calcium has been
marketed for a while, and gained a lot of attention, there is plenty of
information based on
independent analysis that shows that this is
not the good stuff it is made out to be.
(If you would like to read my
article, "Not Coral Calcium",
CLICK HERE
and eMail me a
request for it.)
In the way of foods, as you
know, dairy products are promoted (by the dairy producers) as the main foods
for calcium. However, dairy foods
often actually lower bone density.
Milk is usually homogenized, making it
poorly digested. Further, milk and other dairy
items are almost always pasteurized and often used in
cooking, making them less well-digested and less nutritious,
and more acidifying and mucus-forming in
the body. So milk and dairy foods are
not digested well, and the calcium in them is has been ruined and is less available
than in vegetable sources.
Calcium Knowledge
Why are vitamin D & magnesium
usually recommended to be taken with calcium? These may
or may not be needed with the calcium.
Vitamin D helps absorption
of less-absorbable chelated or inorganic forms of
calcium in the intestine. Most people are deficient in
vitamin D due to too little exposure to the sun. We are indoors a
lot, and out of concern for skin cancer, when we go out we often use
sunscreen, which blocks the UVB rays needed to act on
the skin to form vitamin D.
In the normally alkaline pH of the small
intestine, inorganic minerals tend to attract each other and
form a sediment which itself is even more poorly absorbed.
Thus inorganic calcium actually reduces the absorption of
other minerals, especially magnesium. Extra magnesium
is often suggested with calcium to prevent other magnesium
in the diet from being blocked by the
calcium.
Poorly
Absorbed Calcium
The Recommended
Daily Allowance (RDA) for calcium is 1200 mg for ages 11-24, and 800 mg. for
those over 30. This refers to the amount of "elemental calcium" in the
diet. Calcium is highly interactive with other elements, and is almost
always found in a compound. The body must separate the elemental
calcium out of these compounds to make it available to cells.
Research has shown
that the body's cells can only utilize about 12.5 mg. of pure ORGANIC
calcium in a day for their metabolism. The vast difference between the
RDA figures and the small amount actually used suggests how poorly most
calcium is absorbed. What happens to all the excess calcium from
the poorly absorbed calcium supplements that people are taking to try to get
the RDA?
Most of it is not absorbed and remains in the
intestine, perhaps contributing to the formation of cement-like deposits
there. The excess of what does get absorbed may form deposits in the body,
and could block other crucially-needed minerals from getting into cells.
And what about the cheap forms of calcium being added to orange juice, soy
milk and other food products?It is definitely possible to take
too much of wrong types of calcium. The calcium in most
supplements is common inexpensive rock dust. Rock forms
of inorganic calcium, including calcium carbonate (chalk), oyster
shell, dolomite, di-calcium phosphate, and "coral calcium",
are extremely poorly absorbed. An
excess of such forms of calcium would bind up magnesium in the
intestine, possibly throw off blood calcium levels, potentially form
deposits in joints and other tissues, and could disturb the nerves,
which also need calcium.
The reason that
conventional mineral supplements do not contain the RDA of calcium along
with the RDA's of all the other minerals is that either the tablets or
capsules would be too large to swallow, or you would have to take so
many of them at once that it would be overwhelming.
A further problem is that
calcium supplements of naturally occurring compounds such
as dolomite, bone meal, oyster shell or coral calcium may contain heavy
metals such as lead or mercury. At the moment, calcium products are not
tested by any regulatory agency for heavy metal content. Therefore, it's
best to avoid these for this reason as well.
Calcium
in Foods
Foods organically-grown on good
soil have a far better mineral profile than those
grown on deficient chemically-fertilized farms.
Carrots, broccoli and sesame seeds, organically-grown well,
are some of the richest plant foods in calcium, yet they do not have
anything near the calcium levels that people are trying to take in through
supplements.
Also wheat,
barley and kamut grass juices, fresh or in
cold-dried powder form, are the most alkalizing of
nutritional supplements, providing an array of organic
minerals, including calcium AND magnesium. Not only wheat grass;
wheat germ is also a good food source of organic minerals.
CLICK HERE for my web pages about wheat
germ & wheat grass.
Properly-raised spirulina, a highly
nutritious edible algae, is one of the best
superfoods as well. 16 grams of Spirulina contains as much
calcium as 16 grams of milk. It has 300% more
calcium than found in chicken, and is a superior source of
protein to meat, dairy products, soy products, or any other food. It is
also rich in magnesium.
CLICK HERE for my web page about spirulina.
The calcium and other bone-building
minerals in organic foods and
superfoods are far superior to the
inorganic and poorly absorbed calcium from coral, oyster
shell, bone meal, dolomite (from limestone), di-calcium
phosphate, tri-calcium phosphate or pure calcium
carbonate (chalk), sold for many years in cheaply-made
products to the calcium-seeking public.
Further, minerals are synergistic. For
example, the trace mineral boron is needed for helping to
retain calcium. And silica can be transmuted and form calcium
as needed if the body is functioning well.
A variety of minerals are present together in
vegetables and superfoods.
However, the minerals are only a
portion of what is present there, along with vitamins, enzymes, pigments and
phytonutrients. However, the minerals in the normal intake of vegetables and superfoods would not be all you would need.
What about milk
and dairy products, the foods that have been touted for years as a source of
calcium. The calcium level in cow's milk is for supporting the structure of
an animal that could weigh almost a ton! This is not an appropriate
level of calcium for a human. And the calcium in dairy products,
altered by pasteurization, does
not absorb well in humans.
Outstanding Supplemental Minerals
Multi-Mineral
A superior new multi-mineral product provides
ionic
plant-source organic minerals, amino acids, enzymes and fulvic acids.
Through a patented process, these have been set in water molecules and
charged with photons (light waves) for maximum utilization by the body.
Just 10-15 drops two or three times per day diluted in juice or water
will provide
a whole range of totally absorbable minerals in proper proportion that will meet the daily needs of the
your
cells so they can do their jobs.
The RDA figures for calcium and other minerals are based on the knowledge
that very little will be absorbed. 10-15 drops of this supplement twice a day has nowhere close to these amounts, yet will supply ideal calcium,
magnesium, etc., as they are fully absorbed.
You must have the foundation of the whole spectrum of minerals to have
ideally healthy bones, teeth, nerves and other tissues. Most often
someone who is deficient in calcium would likely be deficient in other
minerals as well.
The minerals in almost every multivitamin product are not very good for
absorption and use. In fact, most of the mineral products, including
the liquid colloidal or "ionic" ones, are still not adequate.
The minerals I recommend are not only from ancient
plant beds and ionic, they are charged with light photons and presented
with the VITAL FREQUENCIES of the minerals that really provide the
cells with what they need.
It would be a waste of money to buy one of the common multivitamin /
mineral products on the market, as most of these contain synthetic
vitamins and inorganic minerals.
These minerals represent a new
advancement in nutrition of MAJOR importance.

other multimineral products!)

Sea
Calcium
Sea calcium is derived from Lithothamnium, a hard, brittle red algae that grows off the southwestern
coast of Ireland. In these pure, mineral-rich waters, Lithothamnium
congregates to form large beds of stone-like algae. The seaweed’s
mineralized matrices naturally contain high concentrations of naturally
occurring, plant-sourced calcium along with up to 70 other minerals,
including magnesium, boron, copper and zinc. Lithothamnium provides a
renewable source as the living plant is left undisturbed in harvesting.
Taking sea calcium improves bone density and naturally promotes healthy
bones and teeth. And its high buffering capacity makes it ideal for
supporting and maintaining normal range pH levels.
Sea calcium has a large surface area and a porous structure, which may
increase its bioavailability. A unique sea calcium formula is available that contains a
proprietary blend of short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides, which, when
converted to short-chain fatty acids by beneficial flora in the body, have
been shown to improve calcium absorption. It is available in both powder and
capsules.
1 capsule provides 100 mg of highly usable calcium.
1 level scoop of powder (in water
or juice) provides 162 mg. of calcium

Advanced
Calcium -- eZorb
Although I
have found that new research reveals that only 12.5 mg. of
calcium can actually be utilized by the body's metabolism in a day, the bones
and nerves may
be able to use some additional if it is good calcium. The vast difference
between the RDA figures and the small amount actually used for daily
metabolism suggests how
poorly most calcium is absorbed.
For those who really need
highly absorbable extra calcium to correct a known or suspected deficiency problem,
and to prevent or reverse
osteoporosis, I have discovered a special calcium
supplement.
This special
concentrated calcium is particularly recommended for those who have known
bone density problems, joint deterioration, fibromyalgia, nerve disorders,
etc.
Since most of us
probably have some degree of calcium deficiency from over acidity, soda pop
and coffee consumption, and poor dietary calcium intake, I also suggest
some extra calcium for all of us. You would probably benefit from
taking EZorb and/or the Sea Calcium for a while.
(NOTE: In
addition, everyone should also take a highly absorbable multi-mineral. I
have found none better than the product mentioned
above.)
"EZorb" is a unique form of anhydrous calcium aspartate, which is 6 times as stable as any other calcium
aspartate. This is a special chelation with
l-aspartic acid to form an organic
compound.
Other
than what is provided by the unique multi-mineral product mentioned above, no other calcium comes
close to the absorption level of this calcium product.
EZorb
has been proven to be
92% absorbed due to its special small molecular
size. It easily crosses the intestinal wall and cell
membranes, and is assimilated and available for use as needed by
cells. Most other calcium
supplements have from
10% to 30% absorption, even though some claim to be
well-absorbed.
There are 130 mg of elemental
calcium per gram of EZorb, but it is absorbed about 4 to 6 times as well
as other calcium supplements. So, for example, two EZorb capsules (1120 mg)
provide 146 mg elemental, which would be the equivalent of other supplements
providing 600-875 mg of elemental calcium in a serving; or two tsp. of EZorb
powder (2 grams) provide 260 mg elemental. which would be the equivalent of
1040-1560 mg. of elemental calcium in some other calcium product.
The raw materials of EZorb are extracted
from plants and vegetables. Not only is it
well-absorbed, it
stimulates
osteoblasts (bone forming cells) in their activities.
This causes calcium to be added to the bones, and
cartilage to be repaired. EZorb also
accelerates collagen production so that your joints will be
kept agile and lubricated.
Moreover, EZorb calcium
does not form calcium deposits, and will not cause stomach
disorders or kidney stones. Other calcium products, including
most of the popular ones available on the market today, do
form stones in your body and cause G.I. distress!
Unlike other forms of
supplemental calcium, EZorb does not bind magnesium in the intestines, which
is why most calcium supplements have magnesium in them as well. Extra
magnesium is not needed or included in EZorb.
EZorb is for dealing with a calcium deficiency. There
is substantially more calcium in it than the 12.5
mg that is used up in metabolism per day. If you have a
deficiency, then you need to take MORE than just what
the body uses up each day.
Good forms of calcium like what is in
EZorb, would not create any problems at normal
levels of consumption. Beyond the small amount needed
for metabolism, the extra calcium from EZorb helps with
reducing deficiency and improving bone strength.
The efficient way to use EZorb will be to take
it as recommended for a while, then start gradually decreasing. Eventually,
when you are sure your bones are strong and well-endowed
with calcium, a capsule or two per day or just
occasional capsules could be used, while taking the
multi-mineral we recommend above, for maintenance of all
minerals.
In calculating
how much to take, you must also consider the calcium
that is in foods you are eating. For example, well
grown broccoli and carrots contain good calcium. (Pasteurized
milk and dairy products do NOT provide good calcium,
despite the claims. Also, avoid the poor calciums
added to orange juice and other foods.)
I cannot say how long you should take a certain level of
EZorb before reducing or eliminating it, as I do not
know what your deficiency is, or how long it will take
to correct it. Using a modest amount of EZorb in
addition to the multi-mineral for a
good while should not be a problem.
NOTE: Please
understand that other nutrients and minerals beyond calcium are needed for the health of the
bones, teeth, nerves, and every other tissue in the body. I recommend
that an ionic mult--mineral should be taken, with
EZorb
added for those with known or suspected calcium deficiency problems.
Extra magnesium
should also be taken when extra calcium is, to keep the proper magnesium
levels in the body's cells. For more information on magnesium, go to:
http://ReallyWell.com/magnesium.htm
EZorb together with extra ionic magnesium and other superior nutrients should gradually help your
body be the strongest it can be.
EZorb is not
cheap, but it is it is highly effective, unlike most other calcium products.
EZorb is so well absorbed you
do not have to take as much as with any
other calcium. If you would like to try it, we have
arranged to make it available at low prices.
