- The highest potency Calcium source - Great natural source - Calming effect - Help build strong bone and teeth Increasing bone density and maintaining good bone density takes sufficient calcium intake daily for years, especially in the first 3 decades of life. A concentrated and well-absorbed calcium source to provide the extra doses of calcium to ensure intake of 800 to 1000mg from diet and supplement per day. Calcium also exert a calming effect on the body when taken before sleep. Human evolved on a high Calcium Diet taking 1500mg of calcium daily. Such high intake combined with a slight net alkaline-load diet combined with regular physical exertion result in great bone density. Fossil remains of human skeletons of the paleolithic times shown no case of osteoporosis even into late decades of life. Calcium make up 1-2 % of adult human body weight. More than 99 % of total body Calcium is found in our teeth and bones. They also serve as a reservoir for Calcium. Calcium intake has an important impact on bone metabolism and bone health. Inadequate Calcium intake reduce bone mass and lead to osteoporosis. It is thus important that adequate Calcium is consumed at all stages of life - in early life so that peak bone mass can be reached and in later adulthood so that the skeletal mass can be maintained and age-related bone loss is minimised.
