o Women's calcium requirements are increased after menopause o A calcium supplement formulated to strengthen bone and tissue in growing and mature users o A calcium supplement formulated to strengthen bone and tissue for children and older adults o Adequate dietary calcium in our youth and throughout life is required to maximize bone o A diet deficient in calcium can lead to osteoporosis in later life o May assist in the prevention and/or treatment of osteoporosis
What Makes Isotonix™ Calcium Plus Unique? Isotonix Calcium Plus Formula provides your body with an advanced, cost-effective and generous dose of needed calcium through an optimised blend of calcium, vitamin D-3, magnesium and vitamin C. Calcium supplementation may assist in the prevention and/or treatment of osteoporosis. It also may assist in blood and peripheral circulation and can help strengthen both bones and tissue. Related terms: calcium, vitamin d, vitamin c, magnesium, osteoporosis, isotonic
Back to Top Why is boron omitted from the Calcium Plus formula? Boron is thought to aid the uptake of calcium and magnesium into osteoblasts in the bone, thus increasing the density of bone. The Therapeutic Goods Administration does not believe there is sufficient evidence of a nutrient effect from boron. Why does the Calcium bottle state for it to be taken twice a day, whereas the other Isotonix™ products only recommended one serve per day? The body tightly regulates the amount of calcium that it absorbs. The body can only absorb 400-500 milligrams of calcium at one time, and as the calcium dose increases, the efficiency of absorption declines rapidly. The label for Isotonix Calcium Plus recommends taking the product in a split dosage - one capful in the morning (272 mg), one capful in the evening (272 mg) - to accommodate the body's physiological behaviour. When we claim our products are Isotonic, is there any formal experiment or report to prove the absorption rate and the isotonic state? Isotonix products make the label claim of being isotonic capable. When prepared as directed, the solution is within a range of tonicity matching the human body. The basis for the isotonic line is physiologic. Isotonic solutions work via normal body physiology to deliver nutrients quickly as compared to solid forms. These physiologic principles have been well described in medical references and in the medical literature. Here are a few sample references: o Ganong, WF Review of Medical Physiology, 13th ed. Norwalk, CT Appleton & Lange, 1987. o Graham, DY, Smith, JL, Bouvet AA "What Happens to Tablets in the Stomach" Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences 79 (5): 420-24, 1990. o Hunt, "Mechanisms and Disorders of Gastric Emptying," Annual Review of Medicine, 1983. o Seigel, JA. "Biphasic Nature of Gastric Emptying" Gut 29: 35-39, 1988. o Erdman, JW. "Bioavailability of Trace Minerals from Cereal and Legumes", Cereal Chemistry 58(1), pages? 1981. The general consensus is that an isotonic liquid might be likely to lead to elevated bioavailability since the transit through the stomach is rapid and might be expected to lead to improved nutrient stability due to minimal contact with stomach acid. Also, once the nutrients are in the small intestine, the nutrients that are absorbed via passive diffusion would be expected to be more bioavailable since they arrive at the major absorptive site at a high concentration. This elevated amount of nutrient on the lumen side sets up a concentration gradient which flows down the concentration gradient from high levels to lower levels inside the intestinal epithelial cells. However, for nutrients that are absorbed by specialised active transport processes, the establishment of a concentration gradient is not that important. The body will spend energy (as ATP) to transport those molecules across the cell membrane regardless of whether the nutrients are present in high or low concentrations. Are Market Australia's Health & Nutrition products natural or organic? Are there any synthetic ingredients in the isotonic range and if so, why? Our ingredients come from both natural and synthetic sources. Some ingredients are derived from the electrolysis of sea water, such as the calcium carbonate, or extracted from plants, like Pycnogenol and grape seed extract. Some ingredients, like calcium phosphate, are synthesised. The advantage of synthesis is that purity is better controlled, there are no allergens, it is non-GMO, and there is no microbial contamination. Our vitamins and non-active ingredients meet USP specifications for identity, quality and purity. I have Type 2 diabetes. Will the Isotonix™ range increase my sugar level? What products are safe for people with diabetes? The types of sugars found in Isotonix products were chosen because they do not exhibit a dramatic impact on blood sugar levels when compared to sucrose or table sugar. If you are diabetic and concerned about the sugar content, we recommend consulting your physician to determine whether this amount of sugar is appropriate for your use. Can you overdose on any of the supplements? If using the supplements as directed, there should be no risk of overdosing. Is our Isotonix design or formula patented? Isotonix is in the process of getting trademarked; however, there are other products on the market that claim to be isotonic. We have tested a group of knock-off products and generally find them not to be isotonic. These products also tend not to have a pleasant taste and may contain synthetic flavouring. One of the products used sucrose as a sweetener instead of fructose and glucose. We use top quality extracts in Isotonix, and we make certain that the blended materials taste good, have a good colour in solution and are isotonic. We use extracts from world-class botanical extract companies that have been in business for 25 to 65 years. Their extracts are considered to be top of the line. Certain products like crystallise after a while. Does this affect the potency of the product? Crystallisation does not affect the potency or formulation of the product. The formula still can be used; however it may require a little more effort when mixing with water. |
