We are now expanding our line of Calcium supplements with EASY-CAL Calcium Citrate, providing elemental Calcium- 500 mg plus Boron-3 mg per two tablet dosage.
This form of Calcium is known to be easily-absorbed and less likely to cause the constipation and gastrointestinal distress commonly-associated with Calcium supplements.
Boron is included in this formula to provide better assimilation of the Calcium, essential for healthy bones and to help prevent crippling osteoporosis. Calcium is also necessary for protein synthesis and helping to protect against dangerous hypertension, as well as preventing muscular cramps and numbness.
These new easy-to-take tablets are pharmaceutically-glazed and are now available in two convenient sizes.
Stress, excitement, depression and lack of exercise may interfere with your body's ability to absorb calcium leading to osteoporosis. Using a calcium supplement is a wise preventive measure. Easily adsorbed and non-constipating makes calcium citrate a preferred form for people over 50 years of age.
Adequate calcium intake and moderate weight-bearing exercise are the basic defenses against osteoporosis. Healthcare professionals suggest women incorporate calcium-rich dairy products, cruciferous vegetables, and dark, leafy vegetables in their diet in addition to a calcium citrate supplement. Women should also talk with their doctors about an exercise regimen adapted for their age and fitness level.

Diet Rich In Calcium Helps Stimulate Weight Loss, Especially In People With Calcium Deficient Diets...
Boosting calcium consumption ignites weight loss, according to a study published in the most recent issue of the British Journal of Nutrition, but especially in people whose diets are calcium deficient.
A research team at Université Laval's Faculty of Medicine made the discovery in a 15-week weight loss program conducted on obese women. The participants typically consumed less than 600 mg of calcium per day, whereas the recommended daily intake is 1000 mg. In addition to following a low calorie diet, the women were instructed to take two tablets a day containing either a total of 1200 mg of calcium or a placebo. Those who took the calcium tablets lost nearly 6 kg (13.2 lbs) over the course of the program, the researchers found, compared to 1 kg (2.2 lbs) for women in the control group.
Their researchers' hypothesis is that the brain can detect the lack of calcium and seeks to compensate by spurring food intake, which obviously works against the goals of any weight loss program. Sufficient calcium intake appears to supress the desire to eat more.
Consuming sufficient calcium is therefore important to ensuring the success of any weight loss program. According to the researcher, over 50% of obese women who come to the clinic run by the research team do not consume the recommended daily intake.
The researchers have studied the link between calcium and obesity for several years. Their first findings, published in 2003, revealed that women who consumed diets poor in calcium had more body fat, bigger waistlines, and higher bad cholesterol levels than those who consumed moderate or large amounts of calcium.
A second study showed that the more people reduced their consumption of calcium-rich dairy products over the six-year period examined, the more weight and body fat they gained and the bigger their waistlines grew. Additional studies established a direct link between adequate calcium intake and a lower cardiovascular risk profile among dieters.
Higher Daily Calcium Intake Associated With Lower Cancer Risk and Offers Valuable New Cancer Prevention Strategy...
Women with higher intake of Calcium appear to have a lower risk of cancer overall, and both men and women with high Calcium intakes have lower risks of colorectal cancer and other cancers of the digestive system, according to a new report in the Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA / Archives journals.
Calcium is known to benefit bone health and the Institute of Medicine recommends at least 1,200 milligrams of Calcium for adults age 50 and older; The 2005 dietary guidelines for Americans recommend 3 cups per day of low-fat or fat-free dairy products. Ongoing studies of dairy products, calcium intake and cancer have revealed the value of Calcium in helping prevent cancer and specific results for different cancer sites.
A team of researchers at the National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Maryland analyzed data from 293,907 men and 198,903 women who participated in the "National Institutes of Health - AARP Diet and Health Study." The participants took a food frequency questionnaire when they enrolled in the study (between 1995 and 1996) reporting how much and how often they consumed dairy and a wide variety of other foods and whether they took supplements. Their records were then linked with state cancer registries to identify new cases of cancer through 2003.
In both men and women, Calcium-rich dairy food and overall Calcium intakes were inversely associated with cancers of the digestive system. The one-fifth of men who consumed the most Calcium through daily food and supplement intakes (over 1,500 milligrams per day) had a 16 percent lower risk of these types of cancer than the one-fifth who consumed the least (526 milligrams per day).
For women, those in the top one-fifth of daily Calcium consumption (over 1,800 milligrams per day) had a 23 percent lower risk than those in the bottom one-fifth (494 milligrams per day). The decreased risk was particularly pronounced for colorectal cancer.
Dairy food, which is known to be relatively high in potentially anti-carcinogenic nutrients such as Calcium, Vitamin D and C.L.A. (conjugated linoleic acid) is believed to protect against the development of colorectal and breast cancer. Calcium has been shown to reduce abnormal growth and induce normal turnover among cells in the gastrointestinal tract and breast. In addition, it binds to bile and fatty acids, potentially reducing damage to the mucous membrane in the large intestine.
In conclusion, the study's findings suggest that adequate Calcium intake consistent with current recommendations is associated with a lower risk of total cancer in women and cancers of the digestive system, especially colorectal cancer, in both men and women.
The study was funded by the Intramural Research Program of the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health.
