MarineCal Plus

Description

Aquamin™ is a natural mineral source produced from organic calcareous marine algae (red seaweed, Lithothamnion sp.). The red seaweed is harvested from the pristine waters of the North Atlantic seabed off the coast of Iceland.

Bioactive Silica is an important trace mineral that provides strength and flexibility to the connective tissues of your body — cartilage, tendons, skin, bone, teeth, hair, and blood vessels.

Chlorophyll is an alkaline-forming substance that strengthens our resistance to demineralization which is caused by excessive acidity. Sesame seeds are full of calcium, magnesium, copper, vitamin B1, zinc and dietary fiber. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.

 

Benefits of MarineCal Plus

• Whole food calcium from organic seaweed
• High bioavailability – High absorption rate
• Bioactive Silica improves bones density

Bioactive Silica – The Missing Link in Bone Building

Just calcium alone cannot build strong bones. But why? It’s because the bone structure consists of more than just calcium, it is made up of collagen, calcium phosphate and bone cells.

Collagen is likened to the ‘steel frame’ on which calcium and other bone minerals are attached to, to form mineralised collagen fibrils. Although collagen only makes up 30% of bones, it is believed that collagen contributes to as much as 80% of the bone’s total strength. Without collagen, even the hardest bones can crack, shatter or break, and running, jumping and other activities could be painful.

Why is Silica Essential?

Silica is an important trace mineral that provides strength and flexibility to the connective tissues of your body — cartilage, tendons, skin, bone, teeth, hair, and blood vessels. Silica is essential in the formation of collagen which helps to keep your skin elastic, builds strong nails and hair, and provides structure to most of your body.

Silica plays an important role in strengthening your bones by facilitating the deposition of calcium and other minerals into bones, thereby helping to prevent fractures and may reduce the risks of developing osteoporosis. In short, silica improves the quality of bone matrix

 

Bamboo Leaf Extract – A Rich Source Of Bioactive Silica

The consumption of bamboo is nothing new. Asians have been eating the tender sprouts of fresh bamboo shoots for thousands of years. Bamboo leaves contain about 70 percent silica, which is an essential mineral commonly found in quartz, sandstone and other rocks.

While you can’t eat sandstone or rocks for silica, bamboo leaves contain bioactive silica which allows our body to absorb easily. The recommended daily amount of silica for adults ranging in age from 19-50 years old is 9-14 mg/day.

Health benefits of silica:

• Boosts collagen production – silica is a building block of collagen.
• Improves strength and elasticity of bones and joints.
• Promotes healthy hair and nail growth – hair is made up of 40% silica.
• Increases bone density.

Chlorophyll, Sesame seeds and Zinc-Enriched Yeast For Bone Health

Chlorophyll is the green pigment present in leaves which helps plants in the absorption of light from the sun. Chlorophyll is loaded with antioxidants which helps eliminate free radicals. According to studies, the anti-inflammatory properties of chlorophyll are shown to be beneficial for inflammatory-related diseases such as arthritis. Chlorophyll is also rich in calcium, magnesium & Vitamin D which are important for bone health.

Chlorophyll is an alkaline-forming substance that strengthens your resistance to demineralization which is caused by excessive acidity. It can aid in finding a proper PH balance within the body when used in conjunction with a healthy diet.

Sesame seeds are full of calcium, magnesium, copper, vitamin B1, zinc and dietary fiber. In addition, Sesame seeds contain Sesamin, a rich phytochemical found in its oil. Recent studies have shown that Sesamin has a positive effect on bone density and may help alleviate osteoporosis.

Zinc-enriched Yeast, also known as Zinc Yeast, displays high bioavailability when compared to other common zinc sources. Zinc is often overlooked when it comes to bone building – it is critical for growth and maintenance of healthy bone. Zinc both prevents the breakdown of bone and helps form new bone. Low dietary intake and blood levels of zinc are associated with osteoporosis in adult men and postmenopausal women.
