Supports Bone Mineral Composition; Reduces Risk Of Osteoporosis*

Our Price: $17.20

Calcium microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHA) is a calcium compound, containing minerals in their natural ratios, as well as residues of matrix, proteins, and glycosaminoglycans. Calcium (MCHA) supports bone mineral composition and reduces the risk of osteoporosis.*

Risk factors for osteoporosis include sex, race, age and inadequate calcium intake. Populations at highest risk for osteoporosis include Caucasian, Asian, and postmenopausal women, and elderly women and men. Adequate calcium intake throughout life is linked to a reduced risk of osteoporosis, as calcium helps to optimize peak bone mass during adolescence and early adulthood in conjunction with exercise and healthy diet. Calcium intake greater than 2,000 mg per day has no further known benefit to bone health.*

Pure Encapsulations calcium microcrystalline hydroxyapatite is obtained from pasture-fed, pesticide-free bovine from New Zealand or Australia. Vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) is derived from corn dextrose fermentation and palm oil.

CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Calcium should be taken separately from certain antibiotics. Consult your physician for more information.
