Agel CAL - Enhanced Calcium Supplement
Agel™ CAL was formulated to help you get the right amount of
the most abundant mineral in the human body, Calcium. This
innovative formulation gives you 3 forms of Calcium that are
more easily absorbed by the body than other sources, plus these
3 ingredients are combined with other key ingredients and the
Suspension Gel technology, which makes CAL the right Calcium
product for you.
Calcium is the building block of our body’s structure. Just like
a building needs bricks and mortar, our body also has building
blocks which promote strength and support. Calcium is the most
important mineral in promoting strong and healthy bones. Almost
all of the calcium in your body is in your skeleton and teeth. There
is only about 1 % extra calcium outside of your skeletal system and
most of this 1% is in your blood. As you get older your body needs
an adequate supply of Calcium to keep your bones, blood and
surrounding cells healthy.
Should I worry about Calcium Deficiency?
Calcium is a mineral needed by the body for healthy bones, teeth,
and proper function of the heart, muscles, and nerves. The body
cannot produce its own Calcium; it must be absorbed through
outside sources such as Calcium Supplements. Research shows
that 75 % of people do not get enough Calcium each day. This
alarming percentage worries many health care professionals.
So, what can be done to avoid Calcium Deficiency?
Consuming the proper daily recommended amount of Calcium
will eliminate any Calcium Deficiency. By consuming Agel CAL not
only are you consuming the proper amount of Calcium, but you are
also consuming the most effective forms of this important mineral.
The formulation of CAL truly does eliminate any risk of Calcium
Deficiency.
So what are the key ingredients that make CAL an excellent
source of Calcium? There are eight key ingredients which make
CAL unique; these ingredients are Calcium Citrate, MCHA
(Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite ), Calcium Aspartate, Vitamin D3,
Vitamin K2, Ipriflavone, Horsetail Extract, and Boron. These key
ingredients each play equally distinct and important roles in the
promotion of skeletal health.
Uses of Agel CAL
It has been proven that Calcium Citrate is absorbed and digested
by the body more efficiently than Calcium Carbonate, especially
in older people, and appears to be more effective than Calcium
Carbonate. Calcium Citrate does not require stomach acid to
be broken down, this means that it is more easily absorbed and
utilized by the body. This also means that it can be taken on an
empty stomach. Another unique advantage that comes with
taking Calcium Citrate is that unlike other forms of Calcium, it
does not block Iron absorption.
MCHA is derived from bovine and is a source of not only
Calcium, but also other elemental and trace minerals,
collagens, proteins and other components in their natural
proportions. Many studies have shown that MCHA fosters
both better absorption and actual reductions in radial bone
loss than any other form of calcium. Studies show that this
increased absorption is due to the presence of a protein and
the microcrystalline structure, which provides a larger surface
so that the minerals can be released from the organic- protein
matrix into the intestines.
Calcium Aspartate is made from nature soluble Calcium and
chelated with the amino acid, L-Aspartate. Calcium Aspartate
extends the Calcium absorption from the duodenum to the
entire length of the small intestine and therefore achieves
the absorption rate much superior to those of other Calcium
products.
Vitamin D3 is one of the most useful nutritional tools we have for
improving overall health. Vitamin D3 is the only vitamin the body
can manufacture from sunlight . Yet, with today’s indoor living and
the extensive use of sunscreens due to concern about skin cancer,
we are now a society with millions of individuals who are deficient
in Vitamin D3. For more than a century, experts have recognized
that Vitamin D3 plays a role in bone health. One of the best known
and long-established benefits of Vitamin D3 is its ability to increase
bone health and that of the musculoskeletal system.
Vitamin K2 has been scientifically proven to provide amazing
benefits for bone health and cardiovascular health, plus it is a
powerful anti-oxidant and some emerging science indicates it might
help with joint health.
Ipriflavone combined with Calcium can slow and perhaps slightly
reverse the natural process of bone breakdown. Ipriflavone
maintains bone density at the spine.
Horsetail Extract. This herb has been used therapeutically since
ancient Roman and Greek times. Horsetail extract consists of
the following compounds: flavonoids (quercetin, luteolin and
protogenkwanin glucosides, kaempferol, apigenin) phenolic acids,
silicic acid, minerals, saponins (equisetonin), palustrine alkaloid
and equistetolic acid. The plant’s therapeutic actions in maintaining
bones as well as strengthening connective tissue are attributed to
the silicic acid contained in the plant.
Boron aids in the proper metabolism of vitamins and minerals
involved with bone strengthening and development, such as
calcium, copper, magnesium, and vitamin D. In addition, boron
appears to enhance hormones that affect bone health.
Agel CAL - FAQs
- How does Celadrin® compare to CMO (cetylmyristoleate)?
Why only 500mg per packet?
Simple, research shows the body can only absorb up to 500mg
at a time. Based on this it’s best to take CAL in the morning and
evening in order to fully absorb the calcium that you need.
- What types of calcium are in CAL?
Calcium Citrate, Calcium Aspartate and MCHA are all contained in
CAL. These forms of calcium are more easily absorbed by the body,
and not as upsetting to sensitive stomachs as calcium carbonate.
- If I’m taking FLX do I need CAL?
These two products work together but have very different
functionality. FLX is specifically targeted at the joints. CAL is
designed to provide calcium for the mineralization of the bones and
other processes in the body that use calcium.
- How many packets should I take every day?
The recommended dosage is two packets however; you may
need more or less than that depending on your individual
needs. Remember that CAL provides 500mg of calcium per
serving so adjust the number of servings you take per day on the
recommendations of your physician.
