Overview
Our Calcium Complex (MCHA or Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite) is derived from bovine bone and is an excellent source of Calcium, elemental and trace minerals, collagen proteins, and other components in their natural physiologic proportions. There have been a number of studies indicating both better 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 the most abundant mineral in the body, the human body contains approximately 2.5 pounds, and 99% of this is stored in the bones and teeth, the remainder is in the bloodstream and the fluids surrounding the cells. It is an essential mineral with a wide range of biological functions. Calcium also helps maintain healthy PH levels in the body. If the body 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 can slow the progression of bone loss and may potentially even reverse some of the effects.
Our Calcium Complex (MCHA) is available in 120 count capsules.
