Calcium is the most important mineral for bone health and makes up the majority of bone tissue. For calcium to be absorbed it needs many other trace minerals and vitamins. These include Vitamins D, Magnesium, Boron, Silicon and Zinc. The best form of calcium in supplements is chelated. Calcium is needed for the proper functioning of the heart, muscles, and nervous system as well as for the formation of new bone tissue. Bones act like storage facilities from which the body draws calcium. If the body is not getting enough daily calcium to maintain the smooth running of the various systems, it will withdraw calcium from the bones and cause them to thin and weaken. Magnesium is used in several of the biochemical reactions that occur in bones and bone mineralization processes including utilization of vitamin D, essential for calcium fixing. Magnesium helps retain calcium in teeth.Potassium, like magnesium, reduces blood acidity. It slows calcium loss and increases bone formation. Potassium also helps to regulate the beating of the heart and the conduction of nerve impulses. Because levels of potassium can be found in most foods, deficiencies are rare and only a small amount is added to CELL BASICS™. Phosphorus works in tandem with calcium to strengthen and maintain bones and teeth. It also aids in the conversion of food into energy. A well balanced diet will usually provide sufficient amounts of phosphorus, but we add a small amount to CELL BASICS™. Zinc is an essential trace mineral. Every cell in the body needs this nutrient and hundreds of body processes rely on it, from the immune system and the enzymes that produce DNA to the senses of taste and smell. By promoting mineral absorption and keeping bones healthy, zinc helps to support healthy bone formation. Zinc is essential for the function of vitamin D. Some studies have shown that people with low bone density also have low Zinc levels. Vitamin D is an essential partner to calcium. It releases calcium from the digestive tract into the bloodstream, making it available for absorption into the bones. Vitamin D also helps to retrieve calcium from the kidneys before it is passed out of the body in urine. CELL BASICS™ also contains nutrients that support good joint health. The use of Glucosamine sulphate in the joint health formulations is based on studies which show that it helps to maintain the structure and mobility of joint tissues.
It helps promote joint lubrication and cartilage formation.
MSM
is a naturally occurring sulphur compound used in many cellular
processes. Sulphur is needed for connective tissue. Research
shows people with arthritis have much lower concentrations of
MSM indicating that MSM does play an important role in joint
health. Each 4 capsules contain:
Calcium (chelated)
