USI have been faithfully using AdVacal since 2004. Great product!!
USAdvacal is my go-to for calcium----I really notice a difference in my hair and nails. Seriously!
US USI've been using this product for nearly two decades. I stopped my bone loss and began rebuilding strong bones that have never given me a problem. Even after a hard fall which resulted in a slight concussion, but no broken bones! Can you equal or beat that??
USOne Bottle of AdvaCAL INTENSIVE: 120 Capsules
One Bottle of Hips, shoulders, Knees & Toes: 60 Capsules
Best Complement to AdvaCAL INTENSIVE: Hips, Shoulders, Knees & Toes™
Step 1:
AdvaCAL INTENSIVE is a high potency formulation designed specifically for post-menopausal women 50 years of age or more, in peak bone loss years. Taken as directed, it contains 1,200mg of our patented AAACa calcium and 1,700 IU of Vitamin D3 daily. It also contains a combination of zinc, copper and manganese, clinically shown to enhance bone density when taken with calcium. This is truly a superior calcium formula.*
Step 2 :
Hips, Shoulders, Knees and Toes™ is a professional strength blend of proteolytic (protein digesting) enzymes including Serrapeptase, and herbs. Unlike glucosamine, Serrapeptase appears to work by helping break down cellular debris in the body.* This debris may inhibit blood circulation to joint areas. Enhanced blood flow may allow nutrients to reach the joints, encouraging cellular activity.* In effect, the enzymes work as natural bio-catalysts, helping to accelerate chemical reactions in the body. Similar formulations have demonstrated clinical mobility benefit in as little as 15 days.*
BONE DENSITY
A report in the medical journal Osteoporosis International summarized 32 studies conducted between 1977 and 2008 on calcium intake and bone density. The 32 multi-year studies involved 3,169 postmenopausal women, 79 skeletal measures and 7 different types of calcium. AdvaCAL users reported impressive results. With AdvaCAL, average bone density increased +1.5% per year, +3.3% per year compared to a placebo.* Click here to compare multi-year research results.

FRACTURE RISK
A report in the medical journal The Lancet examined results from 17 different studies conducted between 1992 and 2006 on calcium intake and fracture risk. The 17 studies involved men and women over 50, taking 6 different calciums either alone or with vitamin D over multiple years. A study in which participants took AdvaCAL reported an impressive reduction in fracture-risk.* Because the AdvaCAL fracture risk study was small, more research is suggested.

ABSORPTION
A 2010 study published in the journal, Nutrients, found that AdvaCAL calcium (AAACa) was 57% better absorbed than the most popular type of calcium — calcium carbonate. In this study, both AdvaCAL calcium and calcium carbonate were taken with food. This new study showed a statistically significant improvement in calcium absorption from AdvaCAL using dual stable isotope measurement, considered the gold standard in calcium absorption testing. Calcium carbonate is used in many calcium supplements, from inexpensive antacids to expensive coral and marine algae calcium brands. Food consumption tends to level out differences in absorption of calcium supplements. Earlier research in the calcium field has shown that calcium carbonate is absorbed the same as calcium citrate and calcium citrate malate, when all are taken with food.*
