Can Calcium (MCHA) prevent or reverse osteoporosis?
Good 4 Life Calcium Complex (MCHA) Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite is derived from cattle and sheep raised on insecticide and pesticide free pastures. It is derived from bovine whole bone extract and is the best Calcium source, with many vitamins, and minerals including calcium magnesium and zinc, collagen proteins, all in nature's perfect natural proportions.
Calcium Complex (MCHA) is the best form of calcium supplement and the only one clinically proven to reverse osteoperosis and increase bone density. It is also the best calcium for bones and has been shown to increase cortical bone density, arrest trabecular bone loss.
Good 4 Life Calcium Complex (MCHA) also includes natural sourced Magnesium, Vitamin D, Vitamin K and Glucoseamine HCL making this US designed and manufactured formula unbeatable.
MCHA is a comprehensive supplement which provides the best form of calcium in an extremely bioavailable form. This has been demonstrated in a number of calcium balance and calcium absorption studies, many of which have indicated the superiority of MCHA over traditional soluble calcium supplements. MCHA, is a whole bone extract, which is bovine sourced.
There have been a number of studies indicating both better Calcium absorption of MCHA versus other forms of Calcium and actual reductions in radial bone loss for those taking MCHA Calcium. The higher absorbability appears to be the result of a number of factors. Studies show Calcium absorption is enhanced in the presence of a protein, and the microcrystalline structure gives a large surface area so the minerals may be released from the organic/protein matrix into the intestines.
Calcium is mostly stored in the bones and teeth, the remainder is in the bloodstream and the fluids surrounding the cells. Calcium also helps maintain healthy PH levels in the body. If the bloodstream does not get enough Calcium, it will rob it from the bones for this function, causing the bones to become porous and fragile. There have been several studies indicating that MCHA Calcium may slow or even reverse progressive bone loss, and aid in osteoperosis prevention.
Good 4 Life Calcium Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite (MCHA) Complex is available in 120 count capsules protective Dark Amber Bottles which are made from100% Post Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastic.
