Calcium Supplement: Unique Formula® Osteocalcium, 90 Tablets

Calcium for Bone Health

Calcium plays a very important role in the body, not just for bone health as is commonly believed. It is necessary to maintain the normal functioning of nerves, cells, muscles, and bone. Without the proper amount of calcium intake, the body will strip calcium from the bones where it is stored, causing the bones to get weaker. Since our bodies pull calcium from our bones every time we work our muscles, it is important to constantly replenish our calcium supply. It is estimated that 55% of men and 78% of women over age 20 in the U.S. do not get enough calcium in their diet.  It is important to note that the human body cannot produce its own calcium.

Aside from calcium, vitamin D and vitamin K2 are two of the most important additions to this formula. Vitamin D helps with the absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract and with the resorption of calcium in the kidneys that would otherwise have been excreted. What do calcium and vitamin D have in common? Most people have a deficiency of both vitamins. The Institute of Medicine found that over 50% of North American women are not receiving enough daily vitamin D.  Teens need at least 1,300 mg of calcium daily, according to The Institute of Medicine.  That’s when bones are forming. After age 30, get at least 1,000mg of calcium and 800 IU of vitamin D daily to slow bone loss.

Vitamin K2 keeps calcium in your bones and out of your arteries. When our vitamin K2 levels are low, calcification in our arteries can occur because calcium collects in our blood. Vitamin K2 also activates proteins that work to mineralize bones. These two important qualities help combat two diseases that pose serious risks for millions: heart disease and osteoporosis.

There is no sugar added which means it is more suitable for people with diabetes.
