AdvaCAL is a unique ionic calcium. It starts out as oyster shell, which is then smelted at 800° C.  This extreme heat changes the chemical structure of oyster shell from calcium carbonate to calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide. The superheating process removes nearly all of the heavy metals, such as lead, found in oyster shell. The calcium is then combined with HAI, a unique amino acid complex from super-heated hijiki seaweed. Tiny amounts of HAI have been scientifically shown to further elevate calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide absorption. Calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide + HAI provides superior calcium absorption and PTH modulation. This combination has demonstrated consistent improvements in bone mineral density in clinical research. These two ingredients are only available in AdvaCAL.* A report in the journal Osteoporosis International summarized 32 multi-year calcium studies conducted between 1997 and 2008.  The 32 studies involved 3,169 postmenopausal women, 79 skeletal measures and 7 different types of calcium.  AdvaCAL users reported impressive results: average bone density increased  +3.3 per year compared to a placebo.*  Ref : Nordin B.E.C. Osteoporosis Intl (2009) 20:2135-2143. AdvaCAL INTENSIVE For women 50+: Women need to watch their calcium intake even more carefully than most men do. Around age 30, their bones start losing density. Once they hit menopause, the process starts to really speed up. By the time they reach age 60, they may have lost as much as 40% of their total bone mass. Yet national surveys indicate that many women consume much less of the recommended daily calcium intake. Also as we grow older, our stomachs tend to produce less acid. Less stomach acid means less efficient calcium absorption. Most everyone accepts that vitamin D can help calcium absorption. That’s why milk is fortified with vitamin D. But recently, calcium and vitamin D researchers issued a call to significantly increase the recommended daily intake of vitamin D. Some experts are even suggesting that if anything, current recommended daily values for calcium (1000mg/day) and vitamin D (400 mg/day) are on the low side for women in this age group. The FDA recommends that women 50+ consume 1200 mg of calcium daily. AdvaCAL INTENSIVE contains 1200mg of the #1 bone-building calcium per day and 1700 IU of Vitamin D3 – the exact amount recommended by 15 leading vitamin D researchers. In Addition AdvaCAL INTENSIVE contains a clinically tested mineral blend of zinc, copper and manganese that supports bone-building. * AdvaCAL INTENSIVE represents the very latest findings in bone science. AdvaCAL INTENSIVE provides 1200 mg of AdvaCAL calcium, the #1 bone building calcium; and 1700 IU of vitamin D3 daily, 112% more than the recommended daily value. That’s up to 4X  more the vitamin D found in other calciums.* Adequate calcium with vitamin D as part of a healthful diet throughout life, along with physical activity, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis in later life.
