beyonde Algae Calcium-D
Chicory Fiber,
Calcium plus vitamin D Dietary supplement
DESCRIPTION
beyonde algae calcium D is one of the breakthrough innovations of nutritional supplement as an instant drink powder format with “CALCIUM PRO-ABSORPTION” technology – a nutrient cocktail which improves gastrointestinal balance and enhances calcium absorption to help restore bone calcium deficiency. The product mainly contains calcium from red algae, selective mixed inulin & fructo-oligofructose from chicory fiber and vitamin D3.
In addition, it also contains permitted food conditioners & additives; dextrose, malic acid, gum arabic, orange powder, erythritol, sodium citrate, betacarotene, glycine, sucralose.BENEFITS AND RESEARCH
Calcium from diets can increase blood calcium and prevent bone loss. It helps maintain bone calcium, protect bone density and strengthen bone mass. In addition, calcium is also essential for muscles and nerves. Lack of calcium can cause muscles malfunction and lead to cramping.
Calcium from red algae, Lithothamnion calcareum, growing naturally under the sea of Iceland, provides bioactive calcium, magnesium and 72 other minerals. It is derived from the calcified structure of red algae, which absorbs trace minerals from the surrounding seawater. Calcium from red algae has a unique structure similar to plant cells, and possesses larger surface area than conventional calcium from limestones. This mineral-rich product is neutral taste, free of chalky texture, and absorbable by the human body.Minerals and other nutrients are also essential for calcium absorption, and building strong bones and muscles. Vitamin D is the most important nutrient to help promoting calcium absorption in intestine. A combination of vitamin D and calcium can increase calcium absorptivity by 3-4 times compared to single calcium supplementation. The study in a sample group of 389 patients, aged 70-75 years, receiving calcium 500 mg + Vit D 700 IU every night before bedtime for three years was found that the group with supplementation has lower rate of bone fractures than those who did not take (Bess Dawson, 1997). Another study in a sample group of 120 women, aged 45-55 years, had been taking calcium 500 mg + Vit. D 200 IU every day for three years was found to have the higher bone mineral than those who did not consume (Nicola Di Daniele, 2004).
Inulin & fructo-oligofructose are prebiotics beneficially for health. They are selectively fermented by bifidobacteria and lactobacilli which are beneficial microorganisms in the colon. Their fermentation generates end products such as lactic acid and short chain fatty acids, which allow the colonic condition to increase calcium absorption.
A study of 8 weeks supplementation with 8 grams of selective mixed inulin & fructo-oligofructose from chicory fiber (Abrams, 2007) showed that it can enhance the calcium absorption occurred principally in the colon. In addition, calcium absorption can still be traced over 24 hour period after oral supplementation of the mixed inulin & fructooligofructose.
In postmenopausal women, the high risk group for bone mineral loss & osteoporosis, there is a study on 6 weeks supplementation of selective mixed inulin & fructo-oligofructose from chicory fiber on intestinal absorption of calcium and bone turnover markers (Holloway, 2007). It demonstrated that the absorption of calcium is significantly increased (123%) after 5g per day treatment with the selective mixed inulin & fructo-oligofructose from chicory fiber.
USAGE
Mix 1 sachet with 120-150 ml of water and drink instantly. It is recommended to take 1-2 sachets a day.
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
For children, the recommended intake level for less than 15kg body weight is 1 sachet a day. It may possibly induce laxation in the 4-10 year old children consuming calcium drink due to the aggregate exposure to erythritol from different sources of food.
