Are you taking the right kind of calcium supplement?
Are you sure that you are absorbing calcium from the tablets you are taking?

Nn Calcium Plus (50 tablets @$23) Product of USA

With Nn Calcium Plus, you can be sure that you are getting the right form of calcium that allows maximum absorption for a lifetime of stronger bones.

Superior, balanced calcium formula with the essential nutrients, including Magnesium, Vitamin D, Manganese and Zinc, needed to optimise calcium absorption and utilisation in the body. Each easy-to-swallow tablet provides 1,050mg of Calcium citrate.

Vitamin D improves calcium absorption in the intestines, directs calcium into the bones and suppresses the parathyroid hormones responsible for calcium loss from the bones. Manganese, on the other hand, accelerates the synthesis of mucopolysaccharides for bone matrix formation, while Zinc activates osteoblast (bone forming cells), and improves collagen and chondroitin synthesis for stronger joints. Magnesium ensures that bones that are formed are more flexible and less brittle.

• No chalky taste
• Higher absorption - 2.5 times MORE bio-available than calcium carbonate*
• May be taken any time – even on an empty stomach
• Does not cause constipation or gas like conventional calcium tablets

* Based on research by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, published in Journal of Clinical Pharmacology. 1999 Nov; 39(11):1151-4

Are you absorbing your calcium supplements?
You may not be getting the most out of the calcium that you are taking if it is not in the correct form. Studies confirmed that Calcium citrate is more superior to most commercial calcium supplements. If you have insufficient stomach acid, like most people, you will be able to absorb 45% of Calcium citrate supplements, in comparison to only 4% of Calcium carbonate. When calcium isn’t absorbed into your bones, it collects in your joints causing bone spurs (a symptom of arthritis), in your kidneys causing kidney stones, or in your blood vessels causing clogged arteries.

How strong are your bones?
Calcium alone doesn’t protect your bones! In fact, too much calcium without magnesium can lead to the formation of brittle bones that break easily. Magnesium makes the bones more flexible and less prone to breaking. A good example is to observe the difference between chalk and ivory. Blackboard chalk is calcium carbonate. It breaks easily when you drop it. Ivory, on the other hand, is a combination of calcium and magnesium. It bounces back without breaking when it’s dropped. Obviously, you want your bones to be more like ivory than chalk.

Coffee drinkers – Beware!
You lose about 5mg of calcium with each cup of coffee you drink. Unless you are replenishing the lost calcium, you may be risking your bone health.

What Calcium Can Do For You

Builds Strong Bones & Teeth
Calcium is not just for menopausal women! Our need for calcium begins at birth, and continues throughout our entire lives. Calcium is crucial during the growing years to build stronger bones and teeth. It is essential for pregnant and nursing mothers to ensure healthy development of the baby. Without sufficient calcium, pregnant or nursing mothers may suffer aching joints, loose teeth or increased cavities. As we age, calcium becomes increasingly important as the body’s ability to absorb calcium decreases with age. A good calcium formula with a good absorption rate is important to prevent the likelihood of suffering Dowager’s hump (curved back), fractures and height loss during old age.

Prevents Osteoporosis
Bones are constantly being rebuilt and without sufficient calcium, “new bones” will be weak and brittle. Without enough calcium intake, the body will “steal” calcium from the bones, causing osteoporosis, ie. bones become brittle, weak and break easily. Osteoporosis develops gradually, and it may be years before the symptoms appear. The risk of osteoporosis in later years can be substantially reduced with adequate intake of calcium during the younger years. So it is crucial to build up your calcium stores when you are still young.

Relieves Muscle Cramps & Twitches
Calcium with magnesium supplementation helps alleviate bothersome or even painful involuntary muscle movement – including eye twitches and leg cramps at night or while at rest.

Alleviates Insomnia & Sleeping Problems
Taking calcium supplements in the evening helps you to relax and sleep better.

Reduces High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
Studies, including the one in New England Journal of Medicine, 1997, vol. 336, confirmed that calcium, in combination with magnesium, is beneficial for those suffering from hypertension. Calcium helps prevent pregnancy-induced hypertension and preeclampsia (a potentially life-threatening combination of hypertension, fluid retention, and high urinary protein that affects some women in the last trimester of pregnancy).

Alleviates Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
Studies, including the one published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1998, vol. 17, suggest that calcium helps relieve mood swings, food cravings, pain, breast tenderness, and bloating associated with PMS.

Direction for use:

1 – 2 tablets daily or as directed by healthcare professional. Use as a dietary supplement.

Nn Calcium Plus is recommended to:

Teenagers as calcium is needed for muscle contraction, nerve transmission and blood clotting. More intake of calcium is necessary to sustain a high activity teen lifestyle.

Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers – babies needs calcium to grow, so calcium requirements increase during pregnancy and during breastfeeding. A mother’s diet is the only calcium source for the baby. Insufficient intake of calcium during pregnancy can cause the mother to develop loose teeth, weaker bones, muscle cramps, etc.

Women in Menopause – Most of the reported cases of osteoporosis involve women after menopause. Therefore, menopause is a critical time to get sufficient calcium to maintain bone density.

The Elderly – older people have poorer absorption power, so calcium supplementation is recommended to ensure adequate supplies.
