CALPLEX Product Information
|
CALPLEX:
sports calcium
formula
optimal bone
mass, bone strength, prevent stress fractures, prevent
osteoporosis
Each serving size (FOUR
tablets) provides Calcium (1000 mg) and Magnesium (500 mg) as
high performance Krebs Cycle Mineral Complex in a perfect ratio
of 2:1.
(Does not contain any Calcium Carbonate, which is less
bioavailable and less expensive).
For best assimilation - contains organic chelated forms of
Manganese, Copper, Selenium and Boron, with Vitamin D-3, Vitamin
B-5, B-6, C & K.
CALPLEX (120 tablets) is your best choice.
calcium supplements and your
choice
There are many calcium
supplements on the market which claim to provide RDA of calcium
in forms which cannot be easily assimilated by your body -
calcium from Oyster shells, Egg shells, even antacid tablets such
as TUMS. These products are basically mint-flavored chalk, or
calcium carbonate.
Calcium carbonate is known to block
absorption of iron as well as other trace minerals from the gut.
Then there is calcium from Dolomite and Bone meal - do not use
these as a source of calcium. They often contain lead and other
toxic heavy metals.
CALPLEX multi-nutrient
synergy
Calcium by itself does not
build a molecule of bone. Multi-nutrient synergy is essential for
bone growth. Scientific evidence indicates that for enhanced
assimilation of calcium, along with the right forms of calcium
(as organic minerals) your body has to have adequate supplies of
at least the following necessary nutrients in correct proportions
and forms: Magesium, Manganese, Boron, Zinc, Selenium, Copper,
and Vitamin D. CALPLEX contains all these synergistic
ingredients. This combination is efficiently assimilated and does
not block the absorption of iron and trace minerals in the
gut.
ingredients:
Calcium and Magnesium as
exclusive and proprietary brand of high performance Krebs Cycle
Mineral Complex supplied in equal amounts as citrates,
aspartates, succinates, malates, fumarates, and
alpha-ketoglutarates; Vitamin D-3; Vitamin B-6; Pantothenic acid;
Vitamin C (as Ester C); Chelated highly bioavailable organic
minerals of Zinc (as OptiZinc); Copper; Manganese; Selenium; and
Manganese.
suggested use:
Following our own findings
of low calcium intake in many athletes, and active individuals,
we suggest using four tablets of CALPLEX every day. This dosage
provides 1000 mg of calcium along with all the other essential
nutrients to correct calcium deficit. There is no reported
toxicity for calcium intakes up to 2500 mg/day. Take two tablets
of CALPLEX between breakfast and lunch and two tablets before
bed, at night. Or take four tablets immediately before bed at
night.
athletes and calcium
deficiency
Athletes in a wide variety
of sports, including such diverse disciplines as basketball,
hockey, skating, swimming, bicycling, running, and gymnastics
have deficient intakes of calcium. Studies show that bone
mineralization increases tremendously in response to the stress
of exrecise. This increased density of bone requires greater
calcium intake in order to build and maintain
it.
female
athletes
Female athletes are
especially vulnerable because their bone metabolism is always on
the edge of disaster. Amenorrhea (loss of periods) caused by the
detrimental affects of intense exercise on hormone balance,
occurs in up to 40 % of elite female athletes. Unless mineral
intake is absolutely optimal this hormonal imbalance causes
significant excretion of body calcium cannibalized from their
bones. The high protein intake of many athletes also causes
increased excretion of calcium, often resulting in a negative
calcium
balance.
athletes and optimal bone
strength
The body of a 70 kg (154
lb) athlete contains about 1.3 kg (2.85 lb) of calcium. About 99
% of that is in the bones. The remaining 1% moves about
controlling conduction of impulses along nerves, contraction of
muscles, and a myriad of other functions. It is extremely
important for the athlete to maintain the level of calcium
outside the bones (blood calcium levels). If the calcium intake
is inedequate for even one day, then the body cannibalizes its
own skeleton to make up the
deficit.
Optimal bone strength is essential
for all athletes. Stress fractures from weak bones are almost
epidemic in American athletes. The first step to address this
problem is to obtain proper calcium intake. Particulary if the
athletes is between the age of 12 and 35, when maximun bone mass
and bone strength is
achieved.
