Benefits of Calcium

Friday, August 14th, 2009

What Makes nutraMetrix® Isotonix® Calcium Complete Unique?
 
Calcium is essential for building and maintaining strong bones. nutraMetrix Isotonix Calcium Complete provides the body with an optimal blend of calcium, vitamin D3, magnesium, vitamin C and boron in an efficient isotonic solution that is readily absorbed by the body. 

The secret of the isotonic process is probably now becoming clear. When an isotonic substance enters the body, it will be absorbed into the bloodstream rapidly. With isotonic fluids, little nutritive value is lost making the absorption of nutrients highly efficient. There is nothing artificial about it. An isotonic fluid is nature’s own nutrient delivery system. 
 
Even if the calcium tablet is blended correctly, it may be difficult for the body to utilize or break down the calcium. One explanation may be that many calcium brands use calcium from eggshell or oyster shell. These may not be well absorbed by the body. Another reason calcium may not be absorbed from a tablet is because of DCP, which is a binding agent used to hold the tablet together. DCP does not break down in the body.

Many calcium supplements exist in the marketplace, but only nutraMetrix Isotonix Calcium Complete delivers a potent package of calcium and complementary nutrients through an isotonic system of delivery. This translates into a lower cost overall when compared to calcium supplements in pill form by making more of the active ingredients available to the body. Don’t be misled by ingredient amounts. What really counts is the amount of active ingredients that your body can ultimately use.
