Calcium AM-PM ™ Information Sheet
What is special about this formula? 1. Eggshell calcium It contains calcium that has been organically extracted from the hen’s egg shells. This natural calcium derived from a living system is vastly superior to the calcium mined or chemically produced. Most of those forms of calcium are either poorly absorbed or cause unwanted side effects such as constipation, nausea, bloating and more. A lot of those forms are contaminated with heavy metals such as lead, mercury or arsenic. Even oyster shell calcium has been found to contain unacceptably high levels of impurities. More importantly than the negatives, however, are the positive effects. First and foremost one should know that the spiritual researcher Rudolf Steiner points out that only the egg shell derived calcium can immediately and effortlessly go into the body all the way to the teeth. The body needs to work considerably more in order to distribute the inorganic calcium all the way to the end stations. This aspect could be of crucial importance to the children and young people who are increasingly experiencing problems with the tooth formation, decay and alignment. Is a poor availability of the “right” calcium one of the main causes? The egg shell calcium offered here is salvaged and extracted from the nearly 500,000(!) tons of egg shells that are discarded every year by the food industry. Remarkably at the end of the manufacturing process the only ecological foot print left is steam. Nature teaches us here yet again valuable lessons in efficiency. The superior absorption and bioavailability of egg shell calcium is due to the naturally occurring transporter proteins found in the egg shell matrix. Additionally, a unique combination of nutrients essential to bone health is found in this matrix. They include strontium, magnesium, zinc and copper. Research has shown repeatedly that these trace minerals enhance bone mineralization through a double action of stimulating bone formation by osteoblasts and inhibiting bone resorption by osteoclasts. Recent studies have confirmed the potential that lies in this natural egg shell calcium form. Egg shell calcium helped increase bone mineral density in healthy women in less than 12 months by close to 2% while the comparison group lost almost 1% of their bone density. Egg shell calcium was even shown to stimulate chondrocyte differentiation and cartilage growth. 2. Calcium Reservoir™ Particularly important here is the Calcium Reservoir™, a rhythmically prepared mixture of calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate, that further enhances nutritional health in a very comprehensive manner. To find out more please visit the True Life Reservoir™ page on this web site. 3. Rhythmical processes This formula has been consciously prepared and mixed with rhythmical methods in such a way that the ingredients contained within are more easily accessible to all three body, soul and spirit. Calcium is known to have innumerable effects on the body physiology from bone strengthening to maintaining a normal level of inflammatory processes, controlling weight gain, even helping a more active mental life. In order to accomplish all these roles, however, proper manufacturing techniques are needed “to bring out the best” in the ingredients. We are sure that you will find this to be the best calcium preparation available. You will also be assured that you are contributing to an ecologically sound practice.
