Dietary supplement
containing the most assimilable form of calcium, i.e.,
Albical™ amino-acid chelate and vitamin D3 – two of
the most important nutrients responsible for maintaining a strong and
healthy structure of bones and teeth.
How does calcium protect
our bones?
Calcium is the basic inorganic component of bones. An
average skeleton of an adult human being contains ca. 1kg Ca. The
appropriate supply of this component is necessary, then, to provide the
correct bone structure development as well as to reduce the bone mass
defect rate related to age. The so far presented rapid data of calcium
consumption in Poland indicate that the daily supply of this nutrient
in the diet is significantly underrated.
Persons most endangered
by calcium deficiency?
A proper consumption of this element is particularly
important for menopausal women because, as a result of reduced
synthesis of female hormones, the bone mass loss process intensifies.
Too low a calcium supply may also restrict the correct development of
bone tissue and may constitute factors accelerating the occurrence of
osteoporosis also in children and young people during their growth
period and in persons before their 35th year of age, while in case of
people of middle and old age, an insufficient calcium supply may
significantly intensify bone structure destruction. Calcium is also a
very important mineral accelerating the convalescence process after
bone injuries.
Why is calcium
recommended in combination with vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3 is one of the most important components
regulating calcium economy. Its action consists in increasing calcium
assimilability in the alimentary tract and in stopping the secretion of
hormone-causing bone destruction. Vitamin D deficiencies are very
dangerous. They cause rachitic lesions in children and infants. In
pregnant and breast-feeding women they may be the reason for bone
decalcification and osteomalacia, while in elderly people –
for increased demineralization, deformation and excessive porosity and
brittleness of bone structure.
What distinguishes
CHELA-CALCIUM D3® against other calcium
supplements?
The calcium contained in CHELA-CALCIUM D3®
is several times better assimilated [see the graph] and used by the
organism in comparison to traditional preparations of this element
(e.g., calcium carbonate). This is most of all the result of
application of the unique mineral chelating technology developed by
Albion Laboratories Institute. Thanks to the chelatation process, not
only the bio-accessibility of calcium improves, but also the risk of
various unwanted reactions between calcium and other minerals
(so-called antagonism) or medicines taken.
The proper absorption of calcium from the alimentary tract and its
distribution within the system is assured by the fact that it occurs in
the form of amino acid chelate characterized by unusual
bio-accessibility in comparison to the inorganic forms of this element
(e.g., calcium carbonate), as well as the presence of vitamin D3.
Whom is CHELA CALCIUM D3® recommended to?
The product is recommended to persons with calcium and
vitamin D3 deficiency and to cover the increased calcium demand in
older children and young people during intensive growth, old people,
pregnant, breast-feeding and premenopausal women and people during and
after convalescence.
