Calcium Supplement

CAL-SEA-UM

Strong bones for Life
Cal-sea-um™

CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT DESCRIPTION
Calcium is vital to healthy bone density. It is also good for supporting healthy nails, hair, blood vessels, muscles and the heart. Normal, healthy bones continually replenish lost calcium. But did you know that 50 percent of Americans over age 10 consume less than the RDA of calcium and 28 million Americans suffer from inadequate bone density and could be facing bone-related health challenges. Dietary intake of calcium and other minerals related to bone health is below recommended levels worldwide.

While calcium gets the most attention, magnesium is also essential for maintaining bone mass. But it can be difficult to obtain in a normal diet.

Cal-sea-um is a proprietary natural blend of minerals required for maintaining optimal bone health. It’s formulated with calcified seaweed, a vegetable source of minerals found in human bone. This seaweed comes from a pristine area of the North Atlantic Ocean. Further, Cal-sea-um contains no added protein or fats that can compromise calcium absorption in the intestine.

CHEWABLE AND FRUIT FLAVORED

Easy-to-take and vegetarian-approved, these fruit-flavored chewable tablets include a vegetable source of vitamin D to further support bone tissue, together with short-chain fructooligosaccharides to aid in mineral absorption. Cal-sea-um is the perfect supplement to support bone health in adolescents and adults.

GETTING ENOUGH CALCIUM

Most women are very deficient in calcium intake. Children, too, are in a calcium crisis: 86% of all girls and 64% of all boys are not getting enough recommended daily calcium. Some women have an approximate dietary calcium deficiency of 1000 mg each day.

Getting enough calcium and minerals in one’s diet is a challenge, especially for a woman. Women--particularly those who are pregnant, lactating or post-menopausal –require additional calcium up to 1500 mg daily. Most men and toddlers need 500 mg, and children and pre-menopausal women need 1000 mg daily to maintain bone health.

Characteristics of osteoporosis include stooped posture, painful movement and bone fractures. Osteoporosis is an ailment that affects 28 million Americans. Eighty percent of whom are women, are affected by these bone health challenges, which results in an average of 1.5 million bone fractures per year in the United States and costs the nation approximately 13.8 billion dollars in hospital and related health care costs.

For women, calcium consumption becomes increasingly important throughout the aging process in maintaining strong, healthy bones. Bone loss can be kept in check with adequate calcium intake during childbearing years and post-menopausal years—the times when calcium is in highest demand by the body.

Buyer Beware: A study from JAMA (The Journal of the American Medical Association), claims that there is still a problem with lead contamination in dietary calcium supplements. Many at risk for osteoporosis are directed to use 1500 mg. of calcium per day. In fact, from this study, there is1.77 mg of lead per 1500 mg. of calcium in the best selling calcium product on the market. This amount of lead could accumulate to toxic levels over the years of sustained usage. Cal-sea-um, however, is a lead-free calcium and bone-mineral supplement.
