healthyselves.net - Karuna 2101 CalGuard: Vegetarian Calcium Citrate Malate Complex & Cofactors Tablets

CalGuard: Vegetarian, highly absorbable citrate/malate calcium with cofactors for optimum bone health.

Less than 10% of women in the U.S. have adequate calcium intakes (J Am Coll Nutr 1999;18:406S-412S).
Calcium supplements help protect bone mass and prevent osteoporosis at all life stages: childhood (J Clin Invest 1997;99:1287-94), adulthood (J Nutr 1995;125:2802-13), and old age (Am J Ther 1999;6:303-11).
Calcium supplements reduce the risk of bone fractures in many osteoporotic patients (Clin Ther 1999;21:1058-72, J Bone Miner Res 1996;11:1961-6).
CalGuard is a well-absorbed vegetarian complex of bone-building nutrients.
Calcium, delivered as a citrate/malate salt, has been documented as the best absorbed form of calcium in virtually all comparative studies (J Am Coll Nutr 1990;9:583-7, Calcif Tiss Int 1987;41:351-2) and may be the most effective for maintaining bone mass (N Engl J Med 1990;323:878-83).
Calcium, delivered as a citrate/malate salt, has been documented as a preferred form of calcium supplementation by The New England Journal of Medicine (Sept., 1990).
Vitamin D is the precursor of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, an extremely potent hormone that promotes the intestinal absorption of calcium.
Recently updated guidelines recommend increased Vitamin D intakes for bone mass protecion (J Am Diet Assoc 1998;98:699-706).
Vitamin D deficiency has increased among the elderly according to recent studies (Am J Clin Nutr 1997;66:929-36).
Vitamin D in combination with calcium has prevented bone fractures in clinical studies of the elderly (Nutr Rev 1998;56:148-50).
Low vitamin K status is associated with impaired bone health (Am J Clin Nutr 1999;69:74-9), and supplemental K supports normal bone metabolism (Int J Sports Med 1998;19:479-84).
Low magnesium intake is common among women and the elderly (Magnes Res 1992;5:61-7, J Am Coll Nutr 1999;18:406S-412S).
Magnesium malabsorption is common among osteoporotic women (Magnesium 1983;2:139-43).
Magnesium supplements stabilize bone turnover (J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1998;83:2742-8) and improved bone density in a controlled clinical trial (Magnesium Res 1993;6:155-63).
Manganese is low in refined and processed foods (J Nutr Sci Vitaminol (Tokyo) 1990;36:S25-33) and appears to be important for maintaining optimum bone density (J Nutr 1994;124:1060-4).
Boron can increase the levels of hormones that retain calcium in bones, and can reduce urinary excretion of calcium and magnesium (FASEB J 1987;1:394-7).
Boron, calcium and manganese, along with vitamins C, D and K, are needed for normal bone health.
Vitamin C supplements were associated with optimal bone density in a recent population study of postmenopausal women (J Bone Miner Res 2001;16:135-40).
