CALCIUM - BENEFITS

Calcium is an essential dietary mineral which plays a vital role in the body to build strong, healthy bones and teeth.  Studies have shown that calcium is also required for various other functions of the body like muscle contraction, nerve cell signaling etc.

Calcium deficiency can lead to osteoporosis and other bone related diseases.

Fish bone contains approximately 30% organic material and 70% inorganic material.  Fish bone contains high levels of calcium, phosphorus, collagen and other trace elements (for a full analysis visit our website).  The calcium and phosphorus in fish bone has a natural physiological ratio of approximately 2:1, the perfect ratio for the human and animal body to absorb and utilise the calcium.  When all the minerals in bone are naturally present in the right ratio, it then forms a crystalline structure called hydroxyapatite (which is a major component and essential ingredient of normal bone and teeth).

Some studies have revealed that fish bone contains the most bio available form of calcium.  Therefore, fish bone has the potential to be developed as a calcium supplement in the form of tablets, capsules or in health food preparations for human and animal consumption. Despite small differences that can be attributed to evolutionary distance, the anatomical features of teleost fish and mammalian skeletons are remarkably similar, with much of the skull, axial and appendicular skeleton formed by identical bone structure.

We have developed a natural calcium supplement product called:

“Calcium Fish Bone (MCHC) Powder Capsules

to which we have added vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 (MK-7).

Studies have shown that adding vitamin D3 helps the absorption of calcium, and vitamin K2 (MK-7) acts to inhibit formation of calcium in the arteries.
