Calcium is one of the key minerals that our body requires to function, being one of the most abundant minerals in the body it provides many health benefits including strong nails and teeth. More importantly, loss of calcium in the bone is directly linked to osteoporosis.  Take proto-col calcium complex to increase your daily calium levels and improve your strength.

proto-col calcium complex combines calcium carbonate with magnesium, collagen, manganese, zinc, boron, vitamin D3, vitamin C and chromium.

Mostly we obtain calcium through our diets; milk, milk products, beans, nuts, molasses, fruit, fish, seafood, leafy green vegetables all contain good levels of calcium. However, at different times in our lives we may require higher levels of calcium from our diets and supplementation may be the only option.

Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound found in rocks and shells. It can be used as a calcium supplement and may also be taken as a calming gastric antacid.

An average adult is approximately 2 per cent calcium, when we suffer from a lack of calcium in our diet our body takes calcium from the stores in our bones to feed the rest of the body, this weakens the bone strength and can lead to debilitating diseases like osteoporosis. Blood within the body will preserve it’s own calcium levels at the cost of bone calcium, requiring the calcium for muscular function, including regulation of heart function.

Calcium works to its optimum with certain minerals and vitamins within the body, which is why a complex supplementation is advisory.

• Calcium and collagen are both required for optimum bone strength. Calcium makes bone hard and collagen makes it strong. The calcium molecule attaches to the collagen fibre and gives strong, hard bones.
• Vitamin C also plays a key function in the production of collagen, assisting collagen production at every level. As collagen is a primary protein within the body it is imperative that vitamin C levels are maintained to continue collagen production. Many studies conclude that we require much higher quantities of vitamin C than we currently consume in our diet.
• Vitamin D is essential for the proper absorption of calcium in the small intestine and magnesium is required for the benefits of both vitamin D and calcium to be achieved.
• Magnesium allows calcium to be absorbed into the bone from the soft tissue, this is incredibly important, too much calcium deposited in your soft tissue can actually lead to arthritis.
• By adding boron to the calcium complex formulation the supplement is not only adding calcium and magnesium to the body, it is also ensuring that we do not lose these vital minerals in our urine by aiding the absorption into bone mass.
• Manganese and magnesium work together to aid in the absorption of each other. Manganese itself offers considerable health benefits, it can be found in many food types although with mineral levels in our foods reducing and diets deteriorating a high quality supplement is certainly recommended.
• Chromium assists in the metabolism of fats, moving glucose from the bloodstream into the cells to be used as energy. Studies show that a large number of the population are deficient in this important trace mineral.
• Zinc is another important trace mineral humans require for good health, zinc deficiency is often related to stunted growth, highlighting the importance of zinc for a healthy diet. Increasing your calcium intake can actually have a detrimental effect on zinc function, therefore when increasing calcium within your diet it is important to also increase your zinc levels.
