This ultimately causes a leaching effect where calcium is withdrawn from your bones in an attempt to buffer and restore your proper blood pH. In North America, carbonated soft drinks have surpassed milk and fruit juice in popularity and has become the most consumed beverage of choice by children.

The truth is that the most common form of calcium supplement today is derived from limestone or rock. We don’t eat rocks as part of our balanced diet, so why would we choose to supplement our bone health nutritional needs with limestone?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\tOur bodies understand and seek whole food sources of nutrition. That’s why New Chapter formulated Bone Strength Take Care with a whole-food plant source of calcium, magnesium, and other important trace minerals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\tThe calcium complex in Bone Strength Take Care is derived from a specific plant form called Lithothamnion Calcareum, sustainably harvested from pristine shores along the Icelandic coastline. Much like organic vegetables, this sea plant is allowed to mature naturally and then sustainably harvested to deliver its optimal nutritional value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\tCalcium must be completely dissolved in order to be absorbed. The plant-based calcium found in Bone Strength Take Care grows in a honeycomb structure and is extremely porous, which dramatically increases the calcium’s surface area. Stomach acid can then come into greater contact with the calcium, making it easy to dissolve. Calcium carbonate sourced from limestone has a much smaller, rocky surface area and is more difficult to dissolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\tThe Calcium Paradox: Concerns with Heart Health\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\tAccording to the National Institutes of Health, many people don’t get enough calcium from their diet, suggesting supplementation as an alternative to meet their daily required intake. Despite this dietary deficit, emerging research suggests that isolated calcium supplementation can increase cardiovascular risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\tCalcium supplementation alone is risky because calcium requires other nutrients to be properly utilized. The “calcium paradox” holds that without adequate Vitamin K, calcium will not be deposited in the bones where it is required for maintaining bone strength, but rather in the arteries and soft tissues where it can cause stiffening. It is therefore crucial that an effective bone health supplement be formulated with the necessary nutrients and minerals to ensure the optimal utilization of calcium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\tTargetCal: Bones, Not Arteries\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\tIn addition to whole-food calcium, magnesium and trace minerals, Bone Strength Take Care is formulated with TargetCal™ — a proprietary blend of whole-food vitamins designed to optimize calcium absorption and utilization and avoid the “calcium paradox.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\tTargetCal provides a highly bioavailable, bioactive, and long-lasting form of natural Vitamin K2 (MK-7).

Although oxidation reactions are crucial for life, too much can be damaging, and plants, animals, and people maintain complex multiple antioxidant systems including vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and dietary antioxidants. Pollution, physical and mental stress, drugs, alcohol, and other chemicals can increase oxidation. Excess oxidation creates free radicals that are linked to age-related degenerative conditions, including vision problems, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer’s disease. It is wise to consume antioxidants from a wide variety of sources to support overall health.

It is especially important in the prostate gland where supplemental zinc has been shown to decrease prostate inflammation.  Zinc is a regulator of the immune system ensuring that cells for identifying and killing microbes, viruses and cancerous cells are in good working order.  Zinc is a cofactor for the antioxidant system superoxide dismutase (SOD).  Antioxidants neutralize free radicals.  They are unstable molecules that in their bid to become more stable must bump into healthy cells and cause damage.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tZinc also speeds wound healing and is used for the healing of burns and surgical incisions.  Zinc is involved in the sensory organs, the eyes, nose and taste buds.

Zinc levels are decreased by diarrhea, kidney disease, liver disease, alcoholism and diabetes.  Zinc is not absorbed when it is consumed with fibre, phytates (found in grains and legumes), hard water, calcium, copper and iron.  Zinc is lost through perspiration so supplementation may be helpful for athletes, those who live in hot climates and those who regularly use saunas or steam rooms.  Zinc is depleted by the following medications: oral contraceptives, some diuretics, ulcer medications, antiviral medication and some antibiotics.  Much of our food is deficient in zinc due to poor soil levels of the mineral.  Food processing techniques destroy zinc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tProstate Health\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tGetting up frequently at night, pain in the groin, painful urination, and reduced sexual function -  all symptoms of common prostate conditions.  The prostate is the organ responsible for producing the fluid part of seminal emissions, helping to control the flow of urine, and for the contractions that cause ejaculation during orgasm.  It’s no wonder that when a man has a concern with his prostate that it can be troublesome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tProstate problems occur when the gland becomes infected or swollen.  The most common prostate condition is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).  It occurs in men over the age of fifty (but can occur earlier) due to hormonal imbalances, heredity, poor diet, nutrient deficiencies or high cholesterol.  The growth of malignant or benign tumours can also cause prostate swelling. Your PSA level (prostate specific antigen) can indicate the degree of enlargement; it can also indicate whether or not you are at risk for cancer. Make at least yearly appointments past age forty for this test.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cimg alt=\"Organika Chelated Zinc 50mg, 45 Tablets\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/files\/Organika-Chelated-Zinc-50mg-45-Tablets-Product-Label_1.png\" style=\"width: 953px; height: 335px; float: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Organika","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42622015209643,"sku":"3062","price":20.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/files\/3062-organika-chelated-zinc-45-tablets-min.jpg?v=1763454882"},{"product_id":"flora-multi-vits-iron-free-multivitamin-mineral","title":"Flora Multi-Vits Iron-Free Multivitamin \u0026 Mineral","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\r\n\tFlora Multi-Vits Iron-Free Multivitamin \u0026amp; Mineral Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tBecause of poor eating habits, daily stress and the average modern diet that consists of too many nutrient-depleted processed foods, it is wise to supplement with Flora Multi-Vits on a daily basis.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tEasy to absorb, Flora Multi-Vits are designed to ensure exceptional bioavailability of nutrients such as vitamin C, D3, E and many B vitamins as well as calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tFlora Multi-Vits Iron-Free Multivitamin \u0026amp; Mineral NPN claims\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHelps the body to metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHelps normal growth and development\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHelps in tissue and connective tissue formation\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHelps to form red blood cells\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHelps to maintain eyesight, skin, membranes and immune function\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHelps in the development and maintenance of night vision\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHelps in the development and maintenance of bones, cartilages, teeth and gums\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHelps in wound healing\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHelps in the absorption and use of calcium and phosphorous\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tCalcium intake, when combined with sufficient Vitamin D, a healthy diet and regular exercise, may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHelps to reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily prior to becoming pregnant and during early pregnancy\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHelps to maintain proper muscle function\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHelps to maintain immune function and healthy skin\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHelps in the function of the thyroid gland\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHelps to support liver function in adults\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tFlora Multi-Vits Iron-Free Multivitamin \u0026amp; Mineral Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tFlora uses an iron-free formula because iron can interact negatively with vitamin E and calcium\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tSupplies important B vitamins and vitamin C, D3 and E\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tProvides calcium, magnesium, zinc and more\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tFor the average healthy person, taking 2 capsules daily provides all the multivitamins you need\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tFlora Multi-Vits Iron-Free Multivitamin \u0026amp; Mineral Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tEasily digestible vegetarian capsules\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tIron-free\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tSuitable for teens and adults\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tBottled in environmentally friendly recyclable amber glass bottles\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n","brand":"Flora","offers":[{"title":"90 Vegetarian Capsules","offer_id":42622015996075,"sku":"01205-DiscoSupplier","price":28.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"180 Vegetarian Capsules","offer_id":42622016028843,"sku":"01207-DiscoSupplier","price":51.97,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/products\/Flora-Multi-Vits-Iron-Free-Multivitamin-Mineral-180-Vegetarian-Capsules_042a8cd9-4281-47c1-a0b4-d475938aba82.jpg?v=1718665919"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.vitamart.ca\/fr\/collections\/minerals.oembed?page=3","provider":"Vitamart.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
