HYDROXYCAL WITH MCHA
The Superior Bone Support Calcium Supplement
Bone thinning osteoporosis is responsible for
1.3 million fractures in men and women over age 45.
The known factors affecting normal bone building are many: Normal calcium and mineral absorption requires sufficient gastric acidity in the stomach and the presence of vitamin D. Many older women are deficient in vitamin D due to insufficient sun exposure and many over age 70 lack sufficient gastric acidity. The incorporation of calcium and other minerals into normal bone requires bone stress (exercise) and appropriate hormonal control. Excess thyroid hormone (not uncommon in women taking thyroid medication) and in individuals taking corticosteroids, also present a problem.
While many of us tend to think of osteoporosis as a concern of post-menopausal women, Dr. Susser has argued for years that it is decidedly NOT just a women's problem, as millions of men suffer as well!
Bone is not made by calcium alone
Living bone has an intricate crystalline structure composed of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and other important trace elements, arranged in a lattice-shaped framework called Microcrystaline Hydroxyapatite (MCHA). Bones are living, growing tissue with protein components such as collagen imbedded in the MCHA structure. When bone loss occurs, all of these structural elements are lost. Osteoporosis has been defined as a condition in which "bone tissue is fully calcified and otherwise normal, except that there is too little of it." In other words, osteoporosis depletes all the components in bone, not just calcium.
This is why calcium supplementation alone has not saved many from the ravages of osteoporosis. Even those who add the additional minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, etc. may not be experiencing the benefit to the bones they are hoping for. The ratio of these minerals, and several others found in bone, is also very important.
MCHA supplementation shown to restore bone
MCHA has been proven to reconstruct and restore bone when taken as a supplement. Great Life Lab's All Natural Bone Nutrition Support Formula, HYDROXYCAL, provides MCHA, which is specially processed to preserve the special crystalline structure with minerals and other important nutrients present and in their proper ratios to each other. This may truly be the "ultimate bone formula." MCHA's remarkable bone-restoring powers are well documented in medical literature. Clinical tests on MCHA, the active ingredient in Hydroxycal, have repeatedly shown to reduce risk of osteoporosis.
