Milk has long been recognized as a nutritious food for overall growth and development. Milk’s superior content of calcium and supporting nutrients makes it especially valued for building strong teeth and bones. Modern technology enables this rich nutritional content to be isolated from whole milk to optimize its bone-building benefits. The milk calcium, derived from this purification process, offers distinct advantages compared to calcium derived from non-food sources.

Unless the label states otherwise, today’s calcium supplements - including calcium carbonate, di-calcium phosphate, MCHC or chelated calcium - are synthesized from powdered rocks like limestone and dolomite, seashells, eggshells or bones!

Milk Calcium for Better Absorption

Hi-Calcium Milk Tablets from Natural Nutrition (Nn) is an excellent source of calcium as well as other essential minerals and nutrients found naturally in milk. The tablets are derived entirely from fresh milk that has been specially purified to remove most of the non-essential fat, lactose and carbohydrates. Hi-Calcium Milk Tablets are uniquely concentrated to provide rich minerals, trace minerals, vitamins and protein. No chemicals are used during any part of the process. Just 2 tablets give you 340mg of highly absorbable calcium – 20% more than a glass of milk!

These yummy fruit flavored chewable tablets are excellent for:

• Young children – Calcium is crucial during the developmental years for building strong bones and teeth. Children need more calcium because the sweets and refined carbohydrates they consume may inhibit calcium absorption.
• Teenagers – People in this age group may not be getting enough calcium to support their growth as they are known to diet erratically, skip meals and consume junk food.
• Pregnant or breast-feeding mothers – Calcium is necessary for the healthy development of a baby in the womb, as well as newborn babies. Without sufficient calcium intake, pregnant or nursing mothers may suffer from weakened teeth and bones.
• The elderly – Sufficient calcium intake is necessary to reduce bone degeneration. Absorbency is critical for this age group as the body’s ability to absorb calcium decreases with age.

Calcium Health Facts

People need to take calcium every day because it is necessary for many bodily functions as well as for the constant rebuilding of bones. When the body doesn’t have enough calcium, it leeches the required minerals from the bones to compensate for the deficiency. Over time, calcium deficiency may cause osteoporosis, a condition where bones become brittle, weak and fracture easily. Approximately 60% of women and 30% of men over 60 years old suffer from osteoporosis. The best defense against this crippling condition is milk calcium.

Studies have shown that calcium suppresses the activity of weight gain hormones that switch on the fat-storing process. High calcium intake encourages fat cells to burn fat. Calcium also helps regulate weight in another way. Studies have shown that insufficient calcium causes the body to produce more stress hormones such as cortisone and aldosterone, which increase water retention and leads to bloatedness and weight gain.

Calcium is critical for nerve transmission, muscle contractions, energy production, wound healing and blood pressure regulation. Adequate calcium intake helps relieve health complaints such as muscle spasms and cramps, high blood pressure, difficulty sleeping, chronic fatigue, and poor wound recovery.

Everyone needs adequate calcium to ensure a lifetime of strong bones and healthy teeth, but supplementation becomes even more crucial if you :

• Frequently consume coffee, tea and carbonated drinks that deplete your body’s calcium
• Have a diet high in refined carbohydrates, salt, sugar, protein, and insoluble fiber
• Occasionally go on a restricted or low-calorie diet that is lacking in calcium
• Are inactive and lead a sedentary lifestyle
• Are under physical or mental stress
• Take antacid for gastric pains or heartburn

Why Milk Calcium is Best

Studies have confirmed that the body absorbs calcium better when it is derived from milk compared to non-food sources. This is because calcium from milk comes naturally with a whole array of other nutrients that facilitate and enhance the absorption and utilization of calcium by the body.

Milk is rich in vitamin D, which is crucial for calcium absorption, and milk protein that is converted into CPP (Casein phosphopeptides) in the intestines to further facilitate calcium absorption. Milk also has the vital 2:1 ratio of calcium to phosphorus for optimum bone mineralization. Apart from that, milk also provides other minerals such as zinc and boron to aid in healthy bone and teeth development. Calcium synthesized from non-food sources, such as rocks, shells or bones, may not be easily absorbed by the body as compared to calcium derived from milk, and may contribute to higher risks of kidney stone formation.

Calcium sources such as limestone, dolomite, eggshell, seashell or bone meal can also contain toxic heavy metals, such as lead and mercury. Heavy metal toxicity can affect mental development in young children and cause learning and behavioral problems; interfere with the body’s energy production and cause chronic fatigue; and weaken the body’s immune response to infection and illness. Nutritionists and health experts agree that the safest and most beneficial source of calcium is milk.

Milk contains not just calcium but also phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, boron, iron, copper and other naturally occurring trace minerals, which promote total wellbeing.
