EL CAL

It aids in maintaining  healthy joints, bones, muscles and calcium level in the body. It aids in formation of bone mass, maintains strong bones, healthy teeth and assists in the prevention of osteoporosis. 

It protects heart muscle by providing proper contraction and relaxation cardiac muscles and also maintain proper pressure in arteries. 

It assists easy movement of nutrients across cell membranes and prevention of osteoporosis. 

CALCIUM CITRATE – Calcium is a mineral that is found naturally in the foods. Calcium citrate is used to prevent or treat low blood calcium levels in people who do not get enough calcium from their diets. It also assists conditions such  as bone loss, weak bones and decreased activity of parathyroid gland. 

It is also necessary for maintaining healthy communication between the brain and other parts of the body. It plays a role in muscle movement and cardiovascular function.  

 MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE – It is one of the primary minerals found in the bone matrix. It is essential for maintaining healthy bones, as it works closely with calcium to transport it from the bloodstream to the bones. It also increases bones mineral density and reduces the risk of bone fractures and osteoporosis. It assures strength and firmness of bones and helps make teeth harder. 

VITAMIN D3-  It regulates the absorption of calcium and phosphoru8s and facilitates normal immune function. Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen. It promotes  intestinal calcium absorption and helps maintain adequate blood levels of calcium and phosphorus, which is necessary for healthy bone mineralization.

Some Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA)* levels are above 100%, is this safe? 
Certain vitamins are very safe at levels tens or even hundreds of times the RDA, whereas for others the safety level is much closer to the RDA. For this reason every vitamin and mineral needs to considered on an individual basis in terms of its upper safe level. 

*The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) is the amount of a vitamin or mineral which has been calculated to help prevent basic deficiency states in the general population.

 What other lifestyle changes can I make for maintaining healthy joints, bones and muscles ? 

Bones are helpful in providing structure, protecting organs, anchoring muscles and storing calcium. You can take steps to protect bone and joint health, too. 

Include sufficient calcium in your diet. Good sources of calcium include dairy products, almonds, broccoli, kale, canned salmon with bones, sardines and soy products, such as tofu.  

Your body needs vitamin D too to absorb calcium. Good sources of vitamin D include oily fish, such as salmon, trout, whitefish and tuna, mushrooms, eggs and fortified foods, such as milk and cereals. Sunlight also contributes to the body’s production of vitamin D.Weight-bearing exercises, such as walking, jogging, and climbing stairs, can help you build strong bones, slow bone loss and healthy joints and muscles. 

Quit smoking and avoid alcohol intake.
