Calcium M105 Category > Vitamins & Supplements
	Calcium M105 Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and the fifth most abundant substance overall. It is absorbed into your body with the help of vitamin D, the best source being sunlight. Almost all of the body's calcium (2- 3pounds) is found in the bones and teeth. 20% of an adult's bone calcium is reabsorbed and replaced every year. What does it do? The absorption of calcium takes place in the duodenum (small intestine) and ceases in the lower part of the intestinal tract when food content becomes too alkaline. Like all vitamins and minerals, calcium relies on the presence of other vitamins and minerals to be absorbed. Calcium and phosphorus work together for healthy bones and teeth; the ratio of calcium to phosphorus in the bones is 2. 5: 1. Calcium and magnesium work together for cardiovascular health and bone formation. The balance of these two minerals is crucial and is reflected in their effect on muscles. To function properly, calcium must be accompanied by magnesium, phosphorus and vitamins A, C, D and E. Vitamin D helps absorb calcium into the body. About 1hr of sunlight per month on the hands and face has been shown to provide most people with sufficient active vitamin D. Vitamin D works with the parathyroid hormone to regulate the amount of calcium in the blood. Why might you choose to take extra Calcium?

Candida Complex C161 A combination of Caprylic Acid, Oregano Extract, Grapefruit Seed Extract and Lactobacillus Acidophilus with broad spectrum antifungal effects. Caprylic acid is a natural short- chain fatty acid which inhibits the growth of opportunistic fungi including Candida albicans in the small and large intestine. Caprylic acid helps to maintain healthy intestinal micro flora and does not adversely affect the growth of beneficial bacteria. Oregano (Origanum vulgare L.) has been used as a medicinal herb for thousands of years, noted for its beneficial effect upon the digestive and respiratory systems. Oregano contains high levels of phenolic compounds, which provide antioxidant, antimicrobial and antifungal activity. Grapefruit Seed Extract contains antioxidant properties and has been used in the treatment of Candida, parasite and fungal infections and traveller's diarrhoea. Lactobacillus Acidophilus is a probiotic beneficial for the health of the digestive system. Lactobacilli are believed to reduce the growth of yeast organisms within the digestive tract and promote a favourable gut flora. See Details
