Calcium- Not just about the bones...
Calcium- yes we know it's important- for bones and teeth right? But did you know that it is so important that your body will sacrifice its own non-essential skeleton to maintain the ever-necessary 1% blood serum level that is required to sustain life? Did you know that EVERYONE over the age of 30 is losing calcium? It is unavoidable. Regardless of your sex, race, environment, occupation or economic status, you will get senile osteoporosis. It's just how the body works. More...

Calcium can only be the star when it has a winning team backing it up.
Be sure to include these nutrients to ensure calcium absorption and utilization.
• Vitamin D: Imperative to bone building, this nutrient moves calcium and phosphorus from the digestive system into the bones. Normally, it is made from essential fatty acids and exposure to sunlight. Found in fortified milk and breakfast cereals as well as sardines, egg yolk, sweet potato and alfalfa. The RDA is 400 IU.
• Magnesium: Supports calcium absorption by converting vitamin D into its active form. Magnesium also helps prevent kidney stones. The RDA for magnesium is 400mg. An intake of at least half that of calcium is recommended. Mega doses of calcium alone can actually create a magnesium deficiency. Food sources include kelp, wheat bran, wheat germ, almonds, soybeans, wild rice, brown rice and pumpkin seeds.
• Vitamin K: This vitamin is needed for the production of osteocalcin, a protein found only in bone. Osteocalcin attracts calcium to bone tissue and facilitates its crystallization into bone. Vitamin K also reduces the amount of calcium lost in the urine by as much as 50 percent and speeds the healing of fractures. The RDA is 65 mcg. Food sources include kelp, alfalfa, egg yolk and leafy greens.
• Trace minerals: manganese, boron, zinc and copper.

Question: I have a bone spur in my shoulder, does this mean I am getting too much calcium?

Answer: No. It just means you are not absorbing the calcium you are taking properly. Calcification of the tissues tend to occur where there is some kind of low grade injury. It occurs most frequently in the regions of the shoulder joint, the ligaments of the neck and back, around the nerve roots of the spinal cord, in the joints and in the rib cartilage. Calcification of these tissues is most likely to happen when damage to them occurs repeatedly. Damaged tissues do not become calcified unless serum calcium is inadequate and calcium has been withdrawn from the bones, this could also occur when magnesium levels are insufficient. So it is important to pay attention to the factors that can effect calcium uptake as well as those that cause decalcification of the bones.

"My grandmother suffers from severe bone degeneration in her back and hip and has been forced to take huge, hard to swallow calcium tablets for years. I can't tell you how happy we were to find the ALL ONE Calcium Complex in a powder. She is now able to get not only her calcium but magnesium too (whose importance we have only recently learned more about) in an easy to take powder that she can conveniently split into separate dosages throughout the day, and she actually enjoys taking it. Thank you for making life that much better for my grandmother."
