For years, medical doctors have touted the benefit of taking calcium and perhaps a magnesium supplement to slow down the progression of bone loss, a condition called osteoporosis. They have been reluctant however, to go so far as to say that these minerals can prevent or improve osteoporosis. This is because early studies indicated that taking calcium did not effectively increase bone density in menopausal and post-menopausal women. Recent studies however show that osteoporosis and bone loss can indeed be controlled and even reversed by the right combination of calcium, magnesium and select trace minerals. Studies conducted on osteoporosis and bone loss patients at the University of California at San Diego, have shown that when calcium and magnesium are combined with the right ratio of the trace minerals boron, manganese, copper, zinc and most recently, strontium, the return of calcium ions to bone tissue accelerates as much as ten-fold. Further, the calcium and magnesium used for osteoporosis and bone loss must be an acidified, chelated form for maximum absorption. Studies repeatedly show that a combination of citrates and malates provide the best absorption to combat bone loss and clinical osteoporosis. Alternatives to potentially dangerous drugs for osteoporosis include the right forms of calcium together with key trace minerals such as zinc, copper, manganese and strontium. As we age, bone loss and osteoporosis become an increasing problem due to calcium deficiency caused by a lack of calcium absorption. Until recent years, bone loss and osteoporosis were thought to be irreversible. This is not longer the case as there have been at least 7 clinical studies spanning a 15 year period that have shown that calcium can not only slow and halt the progression of osteoporosis and bone loss, but that the right form of calcium, together with key trace minerals, can actually increase bone density and prevent osteoporosis in post-menopausal women. We, based on these important studies, have developed bio-Complete Calcium Liquid and Capsule formulas. Obviously diet plays a big role in the calcium/osteoporosis relationship. We have already mentioned the fact that most people, as they age, have increased difficulty digesting and absorbing calcium. Other dietary issues may also contribute to gross calcium deficiency. Vegan or vegetarian diets can create severe calcium and magnesium deficiencies. Calcium is not found in high amounts in vegan diets. Unless these individuals supplement their diet, they can be at high risk for calcium deficiency. It is important to be aware that many calcium supplements have less than a 20 percent absorption rate. The Institute's Bio-Complete Calcium Plus liquid or capsule formulas contain everything needed to ensure maximum calcium absorption. The truth of the matter is that most diets do not provide adequate minerals in general due to the lack of minerals in the farmlands upon which our foods are grown. Anywhere from 20 to 80 percent of key minerals can be missing from foods grown on land that has not been properly re-mineralized. That having been said, now consider the fact that food processing further leaches out minerals from our foods. Canning, cooking and drying of foods not only removes calcium but key trace minerals necessary for calcium absorption, which we will talk about later. For these many reasons it is our position that you cannot get enough calcium and the right form of calcium from your diet, especially if you are over 50 years of age. 1-888-454-8464

  • I have a question. When chicken bones are placed in vinegar, the acidic of the vinegar causes calcium to be removed from the bone. If i add liquidfy calcium, will the bone absorb the calcium and become sturdy again? If not, is there a way to make modify the calcuim by adding some other elements to it to make the bone absorb it?

  • @ShadowParalyzer The best calcium supplements are pre acidifed for maximum absorbtion.

  • what is the connection with formation of kidney stones ... could it be its non absorption ? ie 4 other minerals? or is there another cycle malfunc.? that could lead to stones?thanks -

  • There are several causes of kidney stones. One of the major causes occurs when calcium become too alkaline and crystallizes, causing kidney stones, gall stones, etc. Dr Whiting

  • Hello, Dr Whiting

    I have a question. The company that I work for made a successfull experiment 2 years ago. They obtained nano-calcium from horse bone. this calcium has a white color and in powder form. Is acidic calcium? Also, what kind of products can we manufacture? can we sell it as it is? what are the markets that buy calcium like ours? Thank you.

  • Please call my office.

  • "Vitamins D and K are also very important for calcium assimilation and absorption. "

    Why does not he mention that in this video?

  • Dr. Whiting's formula for calcium is by far the best available.I have taken this product for several years with the Supreme liquid formula. It is a fantastic combo and the energy and health benefits are great!

  • Absorption, not absorbtion.

  • very good!!

  • What's wrong with the people and this video, and not hearing the guy...!!!??!!!

    If you actually listen, he covers 99% of what should be covered, yet people still ask the "What about *****...?" questions.

  • @nirvgardengod He said it's like rocks.

  • @MisterQuebec 5:03 - "And of course a good Ca supplement will contain the other known factors such as Vitamin D, Boron, Mg, and so forth."

    talk about not listening to the man!!!

  • 5:03 - "And of course a good Ca supplement will contain the other known factors such as Vitamin D, Boron, Mg, and so forth."

    People stop "thumbs-up"'ing MisterQuebec's comment and use your ears.
