Are you
taking the right kind of calcium supplement?
Are you sure that you are absorbing calcium from the tablets you are
taking?
With Nn Calcium Plus, you can be sure
that you are getting the right form of calcium that allows maximum
absorption for a lifetime of stronger bones.

Superior, balanced calcium formula with
the essential nutrients, including Magnesium, Vitamin D, Manganese and
Zinc, needed to optimise calcium absorption and utilisation in the
body. Each easy-to-swallow tablet provides 1,050mg of Calcium citrate.
Vitamin D improves calcium absorption
in the intestines, directs calcium into the bones and suppresses the
parathyroid hormones responsible for calcium loss from the bones.
Manganese, on the other hand, accelerates the synthesis of
mucopolysaccharides for bone matrix formation, while Zinc activates
osteoblast (bone forming cells), and improves collagen and chondroitin
synthesis for stronger joints. Magnesium ensures that bones that are
formed are more flexible and less brittle.
- No chalky taste
- Higher absorption - 2.5 times MORE
bio-available than calcium carbonate*
- May be taken any time – even on an
empty stomach
- Does not cause constipation or gas
like conventional calcium tablets
Are you
absorbing your calcium supplements?
You may not be getting the most out of the calcium that you are taking
if it is not in the correct form. Studies confirmed that Calcium
citrate is more superior to most commercial calcium supplements.
If you have insufficient stomach acid, like most people, you will be
able to absorb 45% of Calcium citrate supplements, in comparison to
only 4% of Calcium carbonate. When calcium isn’t absorbed
into your bones, it collects in your joints causing bone spurs (a
symptom of arthritis), in your kidneys causing kidney stones, or in
your blood vessels causing clogged arteries.
How
strong are your bones?
Calcium alone doesn’t protect your bones! In fact, too much calcium
without magnesium can lead to the formation of brittle bones that
break easily. Magnesium makes the bones more flexible and less prone
to breaking. A good example is to observe the difference between chalk
and ivory. Blackboard chalk is calcium carbonate. It breaks easily
when you drop it. Ivory, on the other hand, is a combination of
calcium and magnesium. It bounces back without breaking when it’s
dropped. Obviously, you want your bones to be more like ivory than
chalk.
Coffee
drinkers – Beware!
You lose about 5mg of calcium with each cup of coffee you drink.
Unless you are replenishing the lost calcium, you may be risking your
bone health.

| What
Calcium Can Do For You? |

Builds
Strong Bones & Teeth
Calcium is not just for menopausal women! Our need for calcium begins
at birth, and continues throughout our entire lives. Calcium is
crucial during the growing years to build stronger bones and teeth. It
is essential for pregnant and nursing mothers to ensure healthy
development of the baby. Without sufficient calcium, pregnant or
nursing mothers may suffer aching joints, loose teeth or increased
cavities. As we age, calcium becomes increasingly important as the
body’s ability to absorb calcium decreases with age. A good calcium
formula with a good absorption rate is important to prevent the
likelihood of suffering Dowager’s hump (curved back), fractures and
height loss during old age.
 Prevents
Osteoporosis
Bones are constantly being rebuilt and without sufficient calcium,
“new bones” will be weak and brittle. Without enough calcium
intake, the body will “steal” calcium from the bones, causing
osteoporosis, ie. bones become brittle, weak and break easily.
Osteoporosis develops gradually, and it may be years before the
symptoms appear. The risk of osteoporosis in later years can be
substantially reduced with adequate intake of calcium during the
younger years. So it is crucial to build up your calcium stores when
you are still young.
Relieves Muscle Cramps & Twitches
Calcium with magnesium supplementation helps alleviate bothersome or
even painful involuntary muscle movement – including eye twitches
and leg cramps at night or while at rest.
Alleviates Insomnia & Sleeping
Problems
Taking calcium supplements in the evening helps you to relax and sleep
better.
Reduces
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
Studies, including the one in New England Journal of Medicine, 1997,
vol. 336, confirmed that calcium, in combination with magnesium, is
beneficial for those suffering from hypertension. Calcium helps
prevent pregnancy-induced hypertension and preeclampsia (a potentially
life-threatening combination of hypertension, fluid retention, and
high urinary protein that affects some women in the last trimester of
pregnancy).
Alleviates
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
Studies, including the one published in the American Journal of
Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1998, vol. 17, suggest that calcium helps
relieve mood swings, food cravings, pain, breast tenderness, and
bloating associated with PMS.
