healthyselves.net - Karuna 2103/4 CalPlex: Calcium Hydroxyapatite Vitamin/Mineral Complex Tablets

CalPlex: Calcium hydroxyapatite bone complex, plus important cofactors, tablets for skeletal health.

CalPlex supplies an efficient supplemental complex of nutrients and cofactors that support bone strength and repair.
Whole bone bovine extract is a rich source of calcium, trace minerals and structural support molecules, which are effectively preserved by freeze-drying.
CalPlex contains microcrystalline hydroxyapatite complex (MCHC) from whole bone, which has been shown to support bone remineralization (Am J Clin Nutr 1982;36:426-30) and optimum fracture healing (Manitoba Med. Rev 1965;45:92-96).
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).
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).
