Details of Progressive Nutrition: Complete Calcium for Adult Men
Building a Better You Age Specific - Womens calcium requirements change significantly as they age. For example, post-menopausal women, due to their reduced estrogen production, experience an increased vulnerability to osteoporosis, losing up to 5% of their bone mass each year(1). With this in mind, Complete Calcium for Women over 50 has been formulated to overcome the specific calcium challenges faced by mature women.
Gender Specific - The physiological reality is that men and women have different calcium needs. Progressives Complete Calcium for Adult Men and Adult Women take these differences into careful consideration by customizing the selection of vitamins, minerals and complementary nutrients to better suit the unique requirements of men and women.
Divided Doses - Although traditional calcium supplements have typically been taken once a day, recent evidence supports a divided dose approach(2), as a single large mega dose actually impairs the bodys ability to absorb and utilize calcium. The best strategy is to take a more moderate potency more frequently in order to ensure thorough absorption, uptake and retention. When taken as directed, the Complete Calcium formulas deliver optimum potencies at optimum times in order to provide a continuous supply of calcium.
High Potency Caplets - A significant amount of calcium digestion relies on the mineral being in the right place at the right time. Calcium absorption occurs approximately 30 minutes into its journey through the digestive system. For this reason, Progressives family of Complete Calcium formulas is packaged in high potency caplets that have a specific 30-minute dissolve rate to ensure that our bodies dont miss this critical window of opportunity.
Source of Calcium - The Progressive Complete Calcium formulas rely on a carefully selected combination of both mineral and plant sources of calcium. Each one has been specifically chosen for its highly retentive and pH balancing properties. In addition, all of the Progressive formulas are packaged with an inner induction seal to provide a secure, airtight barrier guaranteeing product potency and freshness.
"Complete Calcium formulas deliver optimum potencies at optimum times" Complete Calcium has four principal calcium sources: Kreb's Cycle Intermediates - When bound to calcium, this unique chain of five organic acids consisting of citrate, malate, glutarate, fumarate and succinate acts as a transport agent to ensure optimum calcium uptake and absorption.
Coral - Not only is it a rich, natural source of calcium with a perfectly balanced ratio of calcium to magnesium, it is also highly alkaline, helping to balance and restore healthy blood pH levels.
Kelp and Wakame - In addition to being highly alkaline plant sources of calcium, they also provide us with a wide variety of vitamins and trace minerals unique to sea vegetables.
Alfalfa and Nettle Leaf - These green foods are abundant in vitamin K, which reduces calcium excretion and promotes greater bone density. Like kelp and wakame, they are also highly alkaline plant sources of calcium.
