EasyCal - What is EasyCal?
Platinum Naturals` EasyCal is a revolutionary product formulated to strengthen and protect your bones by making the absorption of calcium EASY. It contains a unique blend of vitamins, minerals, and evening primrose oil, which work together to build strong bones. The soft gel capsules are easy to swallow, digest, and absorb.

What is Calcium?
Calcium is an essential mineral required by our bodies to maintain good health. Our bodies cannot make calcium, therefore it must be obtained from our food or supplementation. The average person has about 2.5 pounds of calcium in their body with 99 percent of it being stored in our bones and teeth.

Why is Calcium so Important?
Essential for Strong Bones and Teeth
Calcium is very important in building and maintaining strong bones and teeth. When the bones do not have enough calcium, osteoporosis can occur, leading to porous, brittle and weak bones. Hip fracture is a common sign of osteoporosis, a major cause of disability among seniors. It is important to note that osteoporosis is a disease that develops slowly but starts at an early age; in the 30`s or earlier. Therefore, most health care providers recommend that calcium supplement be taken at an early age.

Osteoporosis? More than just Calcium
Multi-Vitamins and Minerals
Preventing and treating osteoporosis requires more than just calcium supplementation. One study showed that the group that was given both calcium and vitamin D along with over 15 vitamins and minerals increased their bone density 2 - 3 times more than the group given just calcium and vitamin D. Therefore, it makes good sense to take a good multi, e.g. Mega VitaMinerals with Hemp Seed Oil.

Boron
The United States Department of Agriculture conducted a study on boron and its effects on postmenopausal women. The study found that boron supplementation helped to prevent loss of minerals in the bones.

Vitamin K
Vitamin K is needed for bone formation. Recent studies have revealed low levels of Vitamin K may be linked to low bone density. People with osteoporosis have been reported to have low blood levels and low dietary intake of vitamin K. One study found that postmenopausal women could reduce urinary loss of calcium by taking 1 mg of vitamin K per day. People with osteoporosis who have been given large amounts of vitamin K2 (45 mg per day) have shown an increase in bone density after six months and decreased bone loss after one or two years.The average person should not suffer from Vitamin K deficiency since it can be obtained from food or made by friendly bacteria in the intestine. However, those with impaired absorption may benefit from supplementation.

Caution: Vitamin K should not be taken if one is on blood thinning medication.

Omega Oils
Omega oils, such as evening primrose oil, are important for hormonal balance, especially for women. Omega oils also have been proven to improve the absorption of calcium.

Exercise
Studies have clearly demonstrated that when one engages in regular weight bearing exercises, the bones density increases. This makes perfect sense when you realize that the body can adjust to the demands of the body. Therefore, physical exertion signals the body to make the bones stronger.

Hypertension
Studies indicate that the high incidence of hypertension may be partly due to a low calcium intake combined with a high sodium intake. In one study, 48 men with hypertension were treated with a daily supplement of 1,000 mg of calcium for 8 weeks. 44% percent achieved significant reduction in their blood pressure and in some cases the results were similar or better than what was achieved through blood pressure medication.

Other Functions of Calcium
· Calcium is used to activate the enzymes involved in fat and
protein digestion.
· Calcium is involved in blood clotting and the transmission of
nerve impulses.
· Calcium also regulates the contraction and relaxation of the
muscles, including the heart.
· Calcium aids in the absorption of many nutrients, especially B12.

· Synergistic Vitamins, Minerals, and Evening Primrose Oil
· Helps to Balance Hormones
· Made For Women

Good Calcium Management
Taking calcium supplements such as EasyCal will HELP to ensure you get an adequate calcium level in your body BUT it is not a guarantee. Do not rely solely on supplements for total calcium intake. Platinum Naturals will outline some basic guides and suggestions but it is recommended that you consult with a holistic nutritionist or naturopathic doctor.

Factors in Determining Calcium Requirement
PH Balance in Your Body
Chemical reactions in the body are sensitive to even slight shifts in pH. For example, our blood requires a pH level of 7.3 -7.5; even a slight lowering of pH from these levels would cause our body to release calcium from the bones to help make the blood pH balance.

North Americans tend to eat foods that make their bodies more acidic, such as meats, fried foods and sugars. Stress can also make one`s body more acidic.

Acid Forming Foods

* Deep Fried Foods, Red Meat, Sugar, Flour, Eggs, Pasta, Nuts

Alkaline Forming Foods

* Fruits, Vegetables, Sea Weeds


Remember to take everything in moderation; don`t take too much of any one food. Try to eat a variety of wholesome and natural foods. Some red meats may be helpful, so do not avoid them totally. Most people can benefit from eating more and a variety of fresh vegetables. Also explore Chinese vegetables as they are tasty and nutritious.

Phosphorus Impairs Calcium Absorption
Phosphorus is also an essential mineral but too much of it can interfere with the absorption of calcium and result in calcium loss from the bones. Avoid foods that contain high phosphorus content ith little calcium content, e.g. soft drinks. Red meat also contains high phosphorus levels and it should be eaten in moderation.

Organic Foods Wherever Possible
Studies have clearly shown that organic produce contains significantly more vitamins and minerals than commercially grown produce. While plants can make vitamins, it cannot make minerals. Unfortunately, modern farming practices deplete much of the soils minerals and put back only phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium.

Foods that Add or Preserve Calcium in the Body
Sea weed, watercress, broccoli, kale, swiss chard.
