PHYSIOLOGY: Calcium Effervescent dissolves completely and is converted to free, absorbable calcium in your glass - not your stomach. It is 100% absorbable by the body in 5 minutes and it causes no bloating or constipation. Since calcium absorption is most rapid in the upper small intestine, it is time-limited and any significant delay in the release of calcium will reduce the amount absorbed. Some tablets may pass through the system without disintegrating or only partially disintegrated. As a result the body absorbs only part of the calcium or none at all. Vitamin D further enhances calcium absorption and works with the parathyroid hormone to regulate the amount of calcium in the blood. The natural orange color comes from Beta Carotene or pro-vitamin A. Beta Carotene is a powerful antioxidant which combines with singlet oxygen, a highly reactive and destructive free radical.
INDICATIONS: Insufficient daily calcium intake, calcium mal-absorption or increased need for calcium during periods of growth, pregnancy and lactation can cause serum calcium levels to drop. The body takes the calcium it needs from the bones, causing bones to weaken. Calcium Effervescent is ideal for patients who have difficulty or do not like swallowing tablets or capsules.
