What is Biocalth®?
Biocalth® is a unique, patented calcium supplement that is scientifically proven to improve bone density and encourages the formulation of collagen and cartilage to strengthen bones
Biocalth® contains Calcium L’Threonate with is a unique ingredient proven to help deliver Calcium more efficiently to the bones and increases the absorption rate of calcium to a massive 95% compared to 40% of ordinary calcium supplements.
Here, it stimulates the osteoblasts which are the bone forming cells
Why is Biocalth® so important?
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Calcium is one of the essential minerals needed by the body on a daily basis to help strengthen our bones as well as many other daily functions. Low levels of calcium can lead to many health issues, the main being Osteoporosis.
- 1 in 3 women and 1 in 12 men over the age of 50 will suffer from Osteoporosis.
- Every three minutes, someone has a fracture due to Osteoporosis.
- An estimated three million people in the UK suffer from Osteoporosis
- Both men & women lose bone mass during their lifetime but after the menopause women usually lose bone mass much faster than men.
Postmenopausal women have an increased risk of bone loss for three reasons:
- bone mineral content tends to be lower in women than in men;
- dietary calcium intake may decrease with age
- the rate of bone loss accelerates at menopause.
What makes Biocalth® Unique?
It is the only product to contain Calcium L-Threonate which directs calcium through your intestines and deposits the calcium more effectively to the bones. In addition to the advantages of its bioavailability, Biocalth® actually results in:
Bones which are not merely stronger but more flexible
Increased collagen formation (collagen is not formed as a result of calcium supplementation
Promotion of cartilage development (cartilage is not formed as a result of calcium supplementation)
Biocalth® has the effect of 3 nutrients:
- Calcium
- Glucosamine
- Chondroitin
Due to the relatively high bioavailability of BioCalth®, the effects are generally experienced within the first few weeks
The science behind Biocalth®
BioCalth® is formed when ascorbic acid and calcium carbonate are reacted together under controlled conditions.
The result is a breakdown of the ascorbic acid to L-threonate which also becomes linked to calcium
Scientific Studies revealed significant increases in the absorption and utilisation by the body of the L-threonate form compared to other calcium forms.
The chemical structure of the Biocalth® module is unique .
The binding qualities of the Biocalth® molecule are key to allow it to be transported through the body to be deposited on to the bone.
As we get older the renewal process of bone generation slows down and the degradation of the bone happens at a faster rate than the building of new bone. This continued cycle can lead to the bone becoming more and more fragile and therefore the condition Osteoporosis.
Biocalth® has been scientifically proven to help prevent this process.
The Calcium L’Threonate enables the much needed calcium to pass through the intestine faster and more effectively than any other calcium supplement.
This is because the unique chemical structure is absorbed through he intestine passively ie: requires no additional energy, such as Vit C, to help it absorb through to the blood stream. The blood therefore becomes concentrated much faster with calcium L’threonate and as a result builds the bones faster and more effectively to combat the ageing erosion of bone cells.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. What is BioCalth®?
A. BioCalth is a patented product. A significant amount of research has been conducted which indicates the daily consumption of BioCalth® is associated with an increase in bone and joint health parameters.
Q. How is BioCalth® different from other calcium products on the market?
A. BioCalth® has been scientifically shown to be more readily absorbed from the stomach through the wall of the intestine. In addition, BioCalth® delivers calcium more effectively to the bone where it stimulates the cells specialised to form bone (osteoblasts) and cartilage.
Q. What is BioCalth® made of?
A. BioCalth® is the result of combining two naturally occurring nutrients: L-threonate which is formed during the breakdown of vitamin C and calcium. The result of this combination is BioCalth®, the scientific name for which is calcium L-threonate.
Q. What causes bones and joints to degenerate?
A. There are a number of factors which affect the state of our bones and joints, for example the adequacy (or inadequacy) of our calcium and vitamin d intake, our age, the level of exercise we habitually take, trauma, disease, body weight etc.
Q. What will I typically notice when I first start taking BioCalth® on a daily basis?
A. Due to the relatively high bioavailability of BioCalth®, the effects are generally experienced within the first few weeks.
Q. I currently take medication. Will BioCalth® interfere with any prescribed drugs?
A. BioCalth® has not been seen to contradict any prescribed drugs. However, when thinking of using any supplement, it is always advised that you consult your own GP, pharmacist or health practitioner first.
Q. How does BioCalth® help with bone and joint health?
A. A number of studies conducted with BioCalth® have revealed its abilities to help maintain cartilage and joint structure by promoting cartilage production, helping to inhibit bone loss and assisting in the maintenance of connective tissue.
Q. Some calcium products have made me constipated. Can BioCalth® create this type of problem?
A. Constipation resulting from the regular use of alternative calcium supplements is the result of poor absorption, which results in an accumulation of calcium in the stools. BioCalth®, either in granular or tablet form is particularly bio available and as such is less likely to result in constipation.
Q. I am vegetarian. Is it okay for me to use BioCalth®?
A. Yes. BioCalth® is suitable for vegetarians. It is also free from sugar, dairy, gluten, wheat, soy and preservatives.
Q. Why is there no Vitamin D in BioCalth®?
A. Vitamin D is typically used in combination with calcium to help transport the calcium to the bones. Calcium L'threonate does not require Vitamin D to transport the calcium as this active ingredient is unique and effective on its own. BioCalth® therefore has a significantly higher absorbancy rate than Calcium & Vitamin D combined.
Q. What is the function of L- threonate and its role in BioCalth®?
A. L-threonate is a vehicle important in the carriage of calcium. As a result of the nature of the nutrient, it is easily recognised by the body and therefore is easily accessed and utilised. More importantly, L-threonate is directly involved in the process of bone formation by stimulating the activity of osteoblasts.
