Complete H2O Calcium Minerals is made of 99.8% pure calcium in a
1700 ppm water-soluble
form that is readily available for assimilation by the human body. Ionic
angstrom water soluble minerals is much better than colloidal forms of minerals
because it is smaller which makes it readily available for assimilation by
the human body. Learn more about the difference between colloidal and
ionic minerals from an article written by Dr. Chris Meletis N. D. titled
The Difference is the Absorption.
Some Calcium Facts:
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body; a man weighing
150 pounds contains approximately 3 pounds, 12 ounces of calcium in his
body. Calcium is one of the first elements in the body to go out of
balance when the diet is inadequate. Calcium is used in forming bones,
also known as bone mineralization, and in the proper formation and
maintenance of teeth. It is also important in nerve impulse
transmission, blood coagulation and muscle contraction.
Vitamin D (sunshine) and Magnesium are essential to the proper
absorption and assimilation of calcium. Calcium is required for the
release of energy for muscular contraction, mediates the transport
function of cell and organelle membranes, effects the release of
neurotransmitters at synaptic junctions, and mediates the synthesis,
secretion and metabolic effects of hormones and enzymes. Calcium also
helps regulate muscle tone, muscle receptiveness to nerve stimulation
and the regulation of the heartbeat. Calcium is an alkaline, positive
mineral that has a powerful attraction for oxygen. Other elements with
which calcium readily associates are sulfur, silicon and carbon.
Calcium, until recently, has only been available in a compound if it is
not derived from the diet. Compounds require enzyme function to break
the molecules apart so that the body may use the single molecule of
calcium, the building blocks of the body. Some of the more common
compounds are silicates, phosphates, carbonates, nitrates, sulfates,
chlorides, hydroxides, fluorides, and oxides. Colloids are commonly
calcium phosphate and calcium fluoride. Calcium also heightens pH in the
body, making it more alkaline thereby enhancing the immune response as
viruses and bacterium die in an alkaline environment.
Symptoms of Calcium Deficiency:
Osteoporosis (late symptoms):
Frequent fractures in spine and other bones
Deformed spinal column with humps
Loss of height
Leads to nerve and bone disorders
High blood pressure may be a symptom
Frequent fractures
Muscle contractions
Convulsive seizures
Muscle cramps
Consult your doctor if you have:
-
Kidney disease
-
Chronic constipation, colitis, diarrhea
-
Stomach or intestinal bleeding
-
Irregular heartbeat
-
Heart problems or high blood pressure for which you are taking a calcium
channel blocker
-
Or any other condition
People Over 55:
The likelihood of adverse reactions and side effects is greater. Diarrhea or constipation are especially likely
Pregnancy:
You may need extra calcium while pregnant. Speak with your physician about
taking supplements. Do not take super doses.
Breastfeeding:
The drug does pass into milk. Speak with your physician about taking
supplements. DO not take super doses.
Storage:
Keep in a cool and dry location and away from direct light, but do not
freeze. Keep safely away from children. Do not keep in bathroom medicine cabinet. Heat and dampness may alter the
action of the mineral.
What is
A Safe Dosage?:
It is advised that you consult with your physician for the proper dose for
your particular condition. Do not take calcium within 1 or 2 hours of meals or ingestion of other
medications, if possible. It is not recommended that you take calcium
carbonate derived from oyster shells. Dolomite and bone meal are probably
not safe sources of calcium because they contain lead.
