Calcium

GO LIFE Calcium is the perfect synergy of calcium, vitamin D3 and
vitamin K2 which work together for superior absorption and bone
health. Each capsule contains 500mg of elemental calcium along
with many other important bone health minerals from natural,
sustainable seaweed (Lithothamnion calcareum). The addition of
vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 ensures the advanced absorption and
binding of calcium into the bones which helps to ensure bones stay
strong, healthy and less likely to fracture and deteriorate.

Calcium - essential for building and maintaining bone health. Calcium
is the most abundant essential mineral in the human body. Of the
two to three pounds of calcium contained in the average body, 99%
is located in the bones and teeth. The importance of calcium for
preventing osteoporosis is probably its most well-known role. Calcium
deficiency is a growing global concern. Aquamin™ can help address
this deficiency as it supplies a natural, bioavailable source of calcium,
essential for maintaining healthy bones. Aquamin™ is a seaweed-derived
mineral source. Aquamin™ is rich in calcium, magnesium and 74 other
trace minerals, including zinc, iron and selenium. It is produced from
the red algae, lithothamnion calcareum, which is found in just three
locations in the world, including the south-west coast of Ireland
and Iceland. During its growth phase, these algae absorb essential
minerals from the sea, this gives aquamin™ its unique multi-mineral
content. The algae then break down naturally and settle on the sea
bed. As only the mature/aged material is harvested – not the live
young plant, sustainability is assured. The plant regenerates itself
continuously, so there is no interference with its renewal process.
Aquamin™ offers a range of minerals from a single natural source. This
makes it highly bioavailable. These minerals work in synergy, so the
overall health benefits are enhanced. Today it is well known that,
as part of a healthy lifestyle, sufficient dietary intake of calcium is
essential for healthy bones. Vitamin D3 has also been in the spotlight
as a key vitamin to help absorb calcium, and more recently scientific
studies have revealed that vitamin K2 plays a pivotal role in building
and maintaining healthy bones.


Vitamin D3 - essential for developing and maintaining healthy bones.
Vitamin D can only be obtained in small amounts in the diet, and most
of our body’s vitamin D is produced in our skin when it is exposed to
sunlight. Too little vitamin D in the diet can lead to weakened bones
and an increased risk of fractures. Vitamin D is important in helping
the body absorb and use calcium from food and supplements. Vitamin
D may also help to prevent cataracts, osteoarthritis and may also have
a role in muscular strength, immune function and mood.


Vitamin K2 - regular intake of appropriate quantities of vitamin K2,
in the form of MK-7 is important to achieving peak bone mass. This is
a contributing factor in the prevention of osteoporosis, promotion of
bone integrity and strength and reduced incidence of fractures later
in life. Vitamin K2 MK-7 has shown to be effective in preventing bone
loss, promoting bone integrity and significantly reducing the incidence
of fracture. It is almost completely absorbed by the body, and is proven
to reduce vascular calcification risks and aid calcium binding to the
bone matrix.
