Product Description
Lithothamnion Calcareum
Evidence suggests that calcium from whole food sources may produce more favorable effects in bone health than isolated calcium supplements.* Similar to most nutrients, the body can utilize calcium much more effectively when it is paired with its natural co-factors such as magnesium and other trace minerals. The calcium complex in Botani-Cal Complex™ is derived from a special marine plant called Lithothamnion calcareas that is harvested from the pristine shores of the Icelandic coastline. This special plant calcium has a unique porous structure that dramatically increases the surface area where stomach acid can contact the calcium, making it easy to dissolve. In fact, USP dissolution testing suggests that 97% of the calcium in Botani-Cal Complex™ is available for absorption. Lithothamnion calcareas also supplies dozens of trace minerals, including magnesium, strontium, vanadium and silica, all of which work synergistically with calcium to strengthen and nourish bone.*
Vitamins K1, K2, and D3 complete this one-of a kind bone nourishing formula. Both vitamin K and vitamin D are essential co-factors for calcium absorption, and vitamin K has the additional property of ensuring that absorbed calcium is retained and properly utilized for bone strengthening rather than calcifying in the arteries. Botani-Cal Complex™ contains two forms of vitamin K: our synbiotic vitamin K (K1) and a highly bioavailable and bioactive form of vitamin K2 called menaquinone-7 (MK-7). MK-7 is extracted from the Japanese soy food natto, which numerous studies have linked to improved bone health.*
Suggested Use: Take 3 tablets daily with meals or as directed by your health care provider. For best results, take one tablet with lunch and two tablets with dinner.
