Dosage
Adults: Take 1 to 4 tablets daily before meals.
Some authorities recommend that part of the calcium dose should be taken before bed, since bone remodelling takes place during periods of rest.
Several studies now indicate that taking Calcium in this way may not provide any particular benefit to the remodelling process, although dosage compliance may be improved.
Children (8-12 years): Take 1 to 3 tablets

Purpose/Usage
Special benefits
COMPLETE CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT WITH SUPERIOR ABSORPTION
High potency Calcium from Calcium Citrate which is highly soluble and has a 20% to 66% better absorption profile than Calcium carbonate and does not depend on gastric acid production for absorption. It is therefore ideal for both the young and elderly where gastric acid production may be reduced.
Hydroxyapatite is the actual protein bonded matrix of bone, and a natural combination of Calcium, Phosphorous and other minerals. A complete bone food, Hydroxyapatite is derived from actual bone and contains a variety of essential minerals and amino acids. It supplies one of the most bioavailable forms of Calcium to help prevent bone loss.
This comprehensive formula also contains Magnesium, Manganese, Silica, Zinc (as OptiZinc?), Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) and Acetomenaphthone (Vitamin K4) which are all essential to the proper absorption and utilisation of Calcium. Silica is provided in the organic form of Horsetail herbs, the most easily absorbed form of silica.
HELPS RESTORE BONE
According to some studies, Hydroxyapatite can actually restore bone.1
BORON
Boron has positive effects on bone mineralisation and the uptake and retention of Calcium into the bone, especially after the menopause.
STRONG HEALTHY BONES
From the beginning, maintaining an adequate intake of Calcium and other nutrients is important to reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis later in life. Osteoporosis is a weakening of the bones caused by loss of Calcium and other minerals and a failure to replace them.
Calcium is a vital mineral for the proper function of blood clotting mechanisms, muscular contractions and a healthy nervous system. Calcium is also essential for a healthy heart, and helps to control blood pressure. The calcium for these important functions is lost from the bones, and must be replaced by a process called ?bone remodelling.?
Failure to provide an adequate intake of Calcium from the diet, results in the loss of calcium from the bones, making them progressively more brittle and susceptible to fractures.
In general, osteoporosis is more common is post-menopausal women. Studies confirm that those over the age of 30 need up to 67% more Calcium than 16 year olds - demonstrating the body?s need for Calcium, increases with age.
However, men are also susceptible to osteoporosis, and require adequate Calcium intakes throughout life.
There are now over 1.3 million fractures reported in the USA each year directly related to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis has become a major public health problem, especially among older women, who are eight times more likely to suffer from osteoporosis than men. It has been estimated that the death rate following osteoperotic fractures may be as high as 20%!
