	Algaecal Plus - 90 caps Ref: A199 The foundation of the AlgaeCal Bone Health Program is a new discovery - an organic, plant-sourced calcium form derived from a unique South American marine algae (Algas Calcareas). We call it AlgaeCal. Chances are the calcium supplement you are taking now is rock. The label will say "calcium carbonate", which is nothing more than limestone. AlgaeCal is completely different. The AlgaeCal marine plant draws calcium from sea water and pre-digests it for you. Plant-digested calcium is so bio-active that 97% of AlgaeCal's calcium goes into solution in 30 minutes using USP standard tests simulating stomach conditions - proving it is very bio-accessible. But patent pending AlgaeCal is more than a bio-available organic calcium supplement. AlgaeCal also contains high levels of natural magnesium, plus more than 70 trace minerals, and phyto-nutrients - all pre-digested by this unique marine algae - to create a remarkable whole-food, calcium and mineral supplement! You get a full spectrum of minerals and sea plant nutrients working for you instead of a single element like most calcium supplements! Did you know that clinical studies demonstrate trace minerals are important for bone growth18-19 in addition to calcium and magnesium? Most people understand the need for Calcium and Vitamin D, but few know about a recently discovered powerful combination of nutrients clinically proven to produce significant bone growth. Vitamin K2,9-11 strontium,12-17 and trace minerals18-19 have been revealed to play an important role in increasing bone mineral density, even among post-menopausal women. Many people take calcium plus vitamin D for years with little or no results, because these other important and vital nutrients must also be included to effectively stimulate bone growth. Japanese Bone Health Research You Need Japanese medical researchers recently conducted 10 clinical studies on vitamin K2 with impressive bone mineral density increases.9-11 Vitamin K2 is generally derived from a native Japanese food called "Natto" which is made with fermented soy beans. This vitamin is very expensive so it has been slow to reach the rest of the world in spite of its proven benefit. Also, because it has been available historically it cannot be patented so the financial incentive for developing this product internationally is diminished. It has remained a Japanese secret until now! Several bone health formulas contain vitamin K1, but the clinical evidence for bone health benefits for K1 is minimal compared to K2. A French Discovery has a Double Benefit for Your Bones Three large clinical trials in France have just concluded, uncovering substantial changes in bone health and reduced fracture risk with the use of the mineral strontium as a supplement.12-17 Strontium is a common element which is naturally found in your bones, and the studies show supplementation with strontium is completely safe. Bone growth stimulation from strontium has been found to be much better than calcium supplements alone. Researchers have also discovered strontium has a unique double benefit for bones. On a cellular level bone is continuously growing and being re-absorbed at the same time; bone growth drugs or rock-based calcium effect only one side of the equation. Strontium inhibits bone resorption while simultaneously stimulating bone growth, an exciting double benefit. And the good news doesn't stop there - strontium appears to have important benefits beyond bone growth - preliminary studies show it may also support joint health! You Need More Vitamin D Than The Current RDI With all of the recent studies showing the many benefits of an increased intake of vitamin D there is now mounting pressure to raise the recommended daily intake levels. These major studies have shown that a higher vitamin D intake can not only have a big impact on bone health, but also plays a big role in the prevention of cancer. After examining all of this scientific evidence, we decided to double the amount of vitamin D3 in AlgaeCal Plus. You now receive a healthy dose of 1600 IU of vitamin D3 in two daily servings of AlgaeCal Plus. Does Your Calcium Supplement Contain Boron? Boron is one of the most critical components for supporting healthy bone matrix. Without boron, the absorption of calcium can be limited and often underutilized. Researchers have concluded that boron is an essential factor in facilitating the bone-building effects of key nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D. Numerous studies demonstrate boron is critical to maintaining and improving one's bone health.26 We Put It All Together For You For the first time ever, the most important natural bone growth nutrients have been assembled and tested in a landmark 400 person clinical study called the "AlgaeCal Bone Health Program." We have taken the world's only pure plant-sourced calcium supplement and added full dosages of the Japanese vitamin K2 and natural vitamin D3 to it to form a product called AlgaeCal Plus. A second product containing a full clinical dose of strontium was formulated for the study - it is called Strontium Boost. We now offer these same two products used so successfully in the clinical study to you! When taken together, these two unique formulas provide every proven bone growth agent at full clinical strength - guaranteed to stimulate strong, healthy bone growth and support your general health and well being. In addition to superior bone health, many people often report other health benefits when they supply their bodies with these powerful nutritional building blocks the human body is actually built from. The ingredients in AlgaeCal Plus are clinically proven safe, natural and healthful for children and adults. Strontium Boost is safe, natural and designed for adults with osteoporosis.

	Strontium Boost - 90 caps Ref: A200 A New Super Mineral for Your Bones Four landmark studies have been conducted in the last 5 years, uncovering amazing increases in bone mineral density with Strontium supplementation.1-6 What is Strontium? Strontium is a common element which is naturally found in your bones. Studies show supplementation with Strontium in its various forms is well tolerated and completely safe. Strontium lies directly below calcium on the periodic table of elements and that makes calcium, strontium and magnesium all in the same chemical family. They are all naturally occurring metals found in the soil, in foods, and in your body. As an alkaline earth element, strontium is similar to calcium in its absorption in the gut, incorporation in bone, and elimination from the body through the kidneys. Strontium is naturally present in trace amounts with around 100 micrograms in every gram of bone, so when you supplement with strontium you are simply making more of this element available for incorporation into your bone. New Strontium Clinical Evidence on Bone A 2004 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that Strontium ranelate may be at least as good a treatment for osteoporosis as currently available oral drug therapies including Fosamax (alendronate), Actonel, (risedronate), Evista (raloxifene ), and the injectable hormone Forteo (teriparatide). Post-menopausal women normally lose about 1% of their bone per year, but the Strontium ranelate studies are showing 3 year bone growth of 8.1 %! These exciting results were published in large phase three study that followed two other very positive multinational strontium clinicals. In this most recent study, 1,649 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who had had at least one vertebral fracture were randomized to receive either strontium ranelate or placebo for three years. Both groups also took calcium and vitamin D with the strontium to achieve these results Strontium Forms Compared Strontium, like calcium and magnesium does not like to exist by itself, so it easily bonds with other materials to form stable salts like strontium carbonate, strontium ranelate, and strontium citrate. Several forms of strontium are available, but strontium ranelate was used in most of the recent studies because it was a new form and hence patentable. Once patent protection is granted, it becomes cost effective for a drug company to invest in large clinical studies. Strontium ranelate has become a promising new prescription drug called Protelos® A Non-Drug Strontium Product That Works Several forms of strontium salt have been used in clinical studies and each strontium salt has had positive results for bone, so it appears that strontium is the active component, and not the carbonate, ranelate, lactate, or citrate part the strontium is attached to. The amount of strontium in the dose is important, however, so our Strontium Boost™ product is formulated to have the equivalent amount of elemental strontium (680 mg/day) as was used in the successful strontium ranelate trials. A clinical trial involvingStrontium Boost™ is running currently, and the preliminary results are very encouraging with post menopausal women increasing bone density at six months. Strontium's Double Benefit for Your Bones Scientists have discovered Strontium has a unique method of action which provides a dual activity in your bones. Your bone cells are continuously growing and being re-absorbed at the same time; bone growth drugs or rock-based calcium effect only one side of the equation. Strontium inhibits bone resorption while simultaneously stimulating bone growth, an exciting double benefit. No other natural substance or drug is known to provide this dual effect. Unlike Fosamax and Actonel, which work strictly by decreasing bone resorption, strontium increases bone mass. History of Strontium Supplements Strontium was studied in both animals and humans from the early 1950s to the early 1960s and was shown to have bone health properties. For example, in 1959, Mayo Clinic discussing a study involving strontium lactate for osteoporosis, reported "the therapeutic value of the drug appears to be established". However, it promptly fell out of favor, perhaps because atomic bomb testing converted a lot of the natural strontium into a radioactive form called strontium-90. In spite of these encouraging early results, few studies were conducted until many years later. In 1981, a McGill University study involving 142 patients took strontium carbonate or strontium gluconate in doses ranging from 100 mg to 1.5 grams per day demonstrating a dose/response relationship along with increasing bone mineral density for strontium. In 1985, a small study pointed to a potential role for strontium in the treatment of humans. This time strontium carbonate was used with similar positive results to the strontium lactate used 30 years earlier. Three men and three women with osteoporosis were each given 600 to 700 mg/day of strontium. Bone biopsies were taken in each patient at the hip bone, before and after six months of treatment with strontium. Biopsy samples showed a 172 % increase in the rate of bone formation after strontium therapy, with no change in bone resorption. The patients receiving strontium remarked that the pains in their bones had diminished and their ability to move around had improved. Several studies involving strontium chloride have been conducted involving dental applications throughout the 1980's up to today showing benefits for reducing cavities and teeth sensitivity. In the 1990's animal studies involving strontium ranelate were common and from 2001 to 2007 the first human studies involving strontium ranelate have been reporting extraordinary results and safety. Effects on Joints and Dental Carries In one very recent study,7 researchers hypothesized that strontium might also improve cartilage metabolism. Strontium appears to help reduce dental carries according to a 10 year study sponsored by the US Navy, where residents of a small town had unusually high levels of strontium in the municipal water supply. More studies are required on joint health and dental carries to reach any conclusions. We will keep you posted as more information becomes available if you care to join our newsletter. A Few Comments Regarding the Use of Strontium Supplements Although strontium seems to be a remarkably safe supplement, please follow these guidelines to maximize its benefit: 1. Strontium supplements need to be taken along with adequate calcium consumption. Animal studies suggest strontium is not effective and may even be counterproductive if your calcium intake is not normal. 2. For best results, do not take strontium together with calcium because these two chemically similar minerals compete at the sites of absorption. In the above noted studies, strontium was administered first thing in the morning, half an hour to an hour before breakfast, or three hours after the last meal of the day; they took their calcium supplements separately, with a meal. 3. It should not be used as a treatment in children since it may alter the architecture of rapidly growing bones. No studies have been done using high dose strontium on children. 4. Strontium is not a "magic bullet" and a comprehensive approach to regaining bone strength is needed. Other natural modalities of bone support include calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, vitamin K2, and weight bearing exercise.
