Calciumade Banner 2

Calcium + Vitamin D+ Minerals

Calciumade®

Helps strengthen bones and make joints flexible

Calciumade provides bone and joint care because it has high levels of elemental calcium carbonate that helps strengthen bones, Vitamin D3 for better calcium absorption, and minerals (magnesium, zinc, and manganese) that help in making joints flexible.

BONE-BUILDING NUTRIENTS

BIOCHEMICAL AND PHYSIOLOGIC FUNCTIONS

Calcium
  • The most important structural component of bones and teeth
  • A key factor in the normal transmission of nerve impulses
  • Essential for the formation of fibrin, the fibrous protein that makes up the structure of blood clots.
  • Key player in the regulation of cellular metabolism and may regulate a variety of enzymatic processes that affect cell secretions, ciliary action, cell division, and cell proliferation.
Vitamin D3
  • Acts to maintain normal concentrations of calcium and phosphorus in plasma, mainly by facilitating calcium absorption from the small intestine and by enhancing the parathyroid hormone (PTH) – mediated mobilization of calcium and phosphorus from bone
  • The active form of vitamin D3 increases the production of calcium-binding proteins in the lining of the small intestine
Magnesium
  • Essential for enzymes needed to incorporate calcium in bones
  • Involved in reactions that convert vitamin D into its active form; the presence of the active form of vitamin D results in a 10-30% increase in calcium absorption allowing more calcium to be deposited in bones
  • Important for the electrical stability of cells, the maintenance of membrane integrity, muscle contraction, blood clotting, nerve conduction, and the regulation of vascular tone
Zinc
  • A cofactor for various enzymes required for normal bone development
  • Required for proper calcium absorption, enhances the activity of vitamin D
  • Necessary for proper osteoblast activity and bone collagen formation
  • Required for the normal development and maintenance of the immune system; helps regulate the activity of cells involved in immune function
  • Functions as an antioxidant by being a cofactor of the enzyme superoxide dismutase which is involved in the removal of harmful free radicals
Manganese
  • Essential for bone mineralization and for the synthesis of connective tissues in cartilage and bones
  • Enhances bone growth and repair by stimulating bone building and suppressing bone resorption
  • Enhances the activity of vitamin D
