The Real Calcium Supplement

Calcium Supplements: The Ones That Come From Real Foods Are Always Better
Do you remember the corral calcium craze? Well, when the company examined corral calcium and ran it through the old analyzer machine, they discovered two or three elements that THEY Scientists Across the Board could not identify.
Think about that for a second. Internationally known, top of their field men and women whose job is to analyze stuff with the aid of Mass Spectrometers, couldn't tell you what’s in it. But they could tell you that it has been around in the ocean for years and fish don't eat it because it’s TOXIC!
And now people are trying to sell it as the bestthing since sliced bread.
Well not US! If we don't know what’s in it then we cannot tell you what it’s going to do to your body. AND NEITHER CAN ANYONE ELSE. So, over 15 years ago the company decided that it was not for us and walked away from it.
Yet again a decision made with the advice of our "Scientist Across the Board."
Yet another reason why this is a company that puts its reputation right up there and why we can trust them.

And here we go again with more totally independent information on a topic important to women's health. Approximately 150,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with colorectal cancer each year — and half of them are women.1
According to a recent study conducted at the University of Minnesota Cancer Center, calcium supplementation can significantly reduce therisk of colon cancer, and the combination ofdietary and supplemental calcium resulted inthe greatest effect.
While women consuming more than 800 milligrams of dietary calcium each day reduced their risk of colon cancer by 26%, women who consumed more than 800 milligrams of calcium through a combination of diet and supplements reduced their risk of colon cancer by 46%!
“It is especially notable that the risk reduction was present regardless of the source of the calcium, and that simultaneously consuming high levels of calcium from both diet and supplements further reduced risk,” said Dr. Andrew Flood of the University of Minnesota Cancer Center and School of Public Health.
Dr. Flood continued, “These observations suggest that it was the calcium per se, and not merely dairy productsor some other variable, that accounted for thereduction in risk.”
The data from this study is substantial:
More than 45,000 women were included in the study, which lasted ten years. Dr. Flood states that more research is needed to determine specifically how calcium works to prevent this disease. (Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in the United States.) One theory Flood offers is the idea that, “Calcium has a direct impact on a whole series of biochemical pathways within the cells
(HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH THE CELLS)
that line the colon and rectum. These pathways play important roles in regulating how these cells grow and mature, and thus can be important components of the cancer process.”
In addition to cancer prevention, calcium has long been linked to the prevention of osteoporosis, and new research indicates that calcium supplements should begin at an earlier age than previously believed.
Over a period of seven years, Dr. Velimir Matkovic, Director of the Osteoporosis Prevention and Treatment Center and the Bone and Mineral Metabolism Laboratory at Ohio State University,2 conducted a clinical trial of girls aged eight through thirteen to determine the impact of calcium supplementation on bone density.3 Dr.Matkovic explains,
“The pubertal growth spurt accounts for about 37 percent of the gain in the entire adult skeletal mass, meaning inadequate calcium intake during the period compromises the bone mineral accumulation rate.”
Researchers found that calcium supplementation significantly increased bone mass development.
Of the 354 girls in the study, the calcium-supplemented group showed a faster rate of bone mass development.3 These findings suggest that elevated calcium use by pre-adolescent girls is likely to help prevent fractures and osteoporosis later in life.“Because most bone mass is accumulated during this phase of growth, preadolescence may represent the time of highest need for calcium in a female’s lifetime,” concludes Matkovic.4
Our supplement Company. OK, its time Supplements-that work presents to you GNLD has understood the importance of calcium supplementation for many years.
For that reason, calcium is included in several GNLD products, and GNLD has formulated three calcium-specific products that combine calcium with other nutrientsdesigned to enhance calcium absorption: Chelated Cal-MagTM,Neo-CalTM, and Vitality Calcium PlusTM.
As new research continues to affirm the importance of quality nutritional supplements, GNLD once again finds itself at the forefront of nutritional science. Calcium healthy Cell FOOD Why would we do this? Well let me give you an example with our vitamin C product. Your body, if the cells are working correctly, will absorb 70 - 90% dependent on the individual of course. They did a study on competitors and discovered that up to 80% of the vitimin C was evacuated from the body.
Now either their supplement was not bioavailable and just a waste of time, or their cells were not functioning properly and could not absorb what they needed.
So, lets get our cells healthy and working at their best and let them do their job. This should be our first priority.
