Buried Treasure Products Calcium Plus - What are the benefits?

• Calcium is the body's most abundantly stored dietary component. Without it we would be mush, because we wouldn't have bones or teeth. In addition to building and strengthening bones and teeth, calcium is also essential for a wide variety of important functions including muscle contraction and relaxation, transmission of nerve impulses, activation of enzymes, and is also effective as a potent sleep inducer. Calcium Citrate is the most readily absorbed supplemental form of calcium.
• Magnesium: may be more important in preventing and perhaps reversing osteoporosis than calcium, since it balances the body's calcium supply and keeps it from being excreted. It is one of the most versatile minerals involved in energy production, nerve function, muscle relaxation, and bone and tooth formation. Magnesium Citrate is the most readily absorbed form of magnesium.
• Vitamin D: is essential for bone health and important in the prevention of osteoporosis. Its main function is to regulate blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. It aids the body's absorption of calcium, slows calcium loss and promotes maintenance of bone mass.
• Selenium: has anti-inflammatory properties that have relieved osteoarthritic symptoms. It also provides protection as an antioxidant.
• Manganese: is just as important as calcium for preventing and treating bone problems. Bone cartilage can't grow or repair itself adequately without this mineral.
• Potassium: along with magnesium helps restore muscle tone and is essential for cardiac health.
• Boron: is a trace mineral that aids in building strong bones, teeth and nails. It is almost as fundamental to the strength of bones as calcium, and is an effective safeguard against osteoporosis.
• Silica: this trace mineral is found in large amounts in the horsetail extract and is essential for growth and healing, being a major part of bones, cartilage, connective tissue and skin. Thus, it helps build strong bones and nails, healthy hair and skin. It also helps the body utilize calcium better.
• Iodine: plays a fundamental role in the health of the thyroid gland which regulates growth of nails, hair and nearly all body tissues. It also regulates the body's overall metabolism.
• Chromium: helps maintain healthy glucose levels and supports the skeletal system.
• Zinc: is critical to the healthy functioning of every cell in our bodies. It helps with skin disorders, and strengthens the immune system. It also promotes healthy hormone levels.

Since calcium alone is not enough, our product includes integrated nutrients to help promote increased bone density, help prevent osteoporosis, and aid in building healthy hair, nails and skin. Buried Treasure Calcium Plus contains 1,000 mg of Elemental Calcium along with Silica, Vitamin D, Magnesium and Boron to help the body utilize calcium more efficiently.

Vitamin D ensures calcium is well absorbed, magnesium and boron help convert vitamin D into usable form; and zinc and manganese are important for mineral absorption. So getting enough calcium is only part of the answer. Taking a highly absorbable form of calcium with integrated nutrients helps maintain bone health and provide elements essential for healthy hair, nails, teeth and skin. A diet rich in calcium may help reduce the risk of some types of colon cancer, according to a new study published in the March 20, 2002 issue of The Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

The Liquid Advantage
Most experts agree that the need for vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplements is greater today than ever before, because the majority of our food supply is over processed and adulterated, leading to a depleted nutrient content. Until now, nutritional supplements have been available mostly in the form of tablets, capsules, and softgel caps.

This brings up the question of absorption of these products. In order for vitamins and minerals to be utilized by the body, they must be absorbed by the blood cells from the bloodstream after passing through the digestive tract. Studies have questioned whether tablets, capsules, and softgel caps dissolve quickly enough to be effective, if they dissolve! Therefore, the key to nutrient effectiveness is directly related to the amount of active ingredients and the rate of their delivery and assimilation into the bloodstream.

In order for nutrients to be bioavailable (the percent of active ingredients that actually reaches the bloodstream), the digestive system is required to break down the binders, fillers, and other excipients used to hold the active ingredients together in tablets. Gelatin capsules and softgel caps require the break down of plasticizers, and beef and pork byproducts which are used as ingredients in most capsules. Artificial colors are often added to softgel caps to ensure a constant color.

Because the digestive system becomes less effective with age and when the body is under stress, assimilation of nutrients becomes less than optimal. Research shows that after age 50, the utilization of essential nutrients is greatly reduced. So when nutrient absorption may be most critical, our bodies lack the ability to break down the tablets, gelatin capsules, and softgel caps.

There is a solution to these absorption problems…Buried Treasure LIQUID NUTRIENTS. As Buried Treasure liquid nutrients contain none of these binders, fillers, etc., Buried Treasure Liquid Nutrients provide the most efficient delivery system to the bloodstream. When nutrients are taken in this liquid form, the bioavailability is very high and very effective.
