The most important aspect when taking calcium is the bioavailability of the calcium. Calcium digestibility, solubilisation, absorption and organ uptake and release are important metabolic events when considering calcium bioavailability.

Is Lifestream Natural Calcium well absorbed by the body?

Yes. This is due to 3 unique aspects:

  1. LifestreamNatural Calcium has a unique porous ‘honeycomb-like’ structure which reacts particularly well in the digestive system and gives it high absorption properties.

  2. A Lifestream Natural Calcium molecule has a very large surface area. This allows faster solubilisation and rapid ionisation of the calcium.

  3. Lifestream Natural Calcium also contains other important minerals necessary for the absorption of calcium including magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper and iodine.

Bioavailability studies:

A study comparing the bioavailability of Lithothamnium calcareum (the ingredient in Lifestream Natural Calcium) versus calcium carbonate revealed a higher degree of bioavailability for Lithothamnium than calcium carbonate. The results indicated a significantly higher calciuric response for Lithothamnium than the calcium carbonate and therefore demonstrated greater bioavailability. Further to this, those women who had consumed Lithothamnium experienced a more prolonged decline in serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. Since PTH increases as calcium drops in the blood, the researchers concluded that Lithothamnium suppresses this response for longer and is a further indication of increased bioavailability1.

In a comparative study to evaluate the solubility of Lithothamnium calcareum (Lifestream Natural Calcium) against various other calcium sources at 3 different pH levels, Lifestream Natural Calcium proved to be the most soluble. The test method used a calcium ion selective electrode and specially designed buffer system for a more realistic digestive measure of solubility. The results showed better solubilisation of the calcium in Lithothamnium compared to two other calcium sources2.

Calcium, Vitamin D and weight-bearing exercise for strong bones

Not only is it important to ensure an adequate intake of calcium in the diet, but vitamin D plays an important role in maintaining calcium levels. Exercise, especially weight-bearing exercise is also very important to increase bone strength.

People who get plenty of sun exposure do not normally require supplemental vitamin D since sunlight induces vitamin D synthesis when it strikes bare skin. As Lifestream Natural Calcium is sourced from a pure, natural sea vegetable, it does not contain added Vitamin D. For those people who have limited outdoor sun exposure, they will find that cod liver oil is an excellent dietary source of vitamin D and traces of vitamin D are also found in egg yolks, butter and Lifestream Chlorella.

Weight-bearing exercise is any activity in which your bones and muscles work against gravity. This includes any movement in which your feet and legs bear your weight. Examples of weight-bearing exercise include walking, jogging, aerobics, tennis and dancing. It is generally recommended that we do 20-30 minutes of weight bearing exercise 3-4 times a week to help increase bone mass.

Do you have to take Calcium and Magnesium at the same time in a ratio of 2:1?

No. There are no natural calcium rich foods with a 2:1 calcium magnesium ratio and instead the ratio of calcium to magnesium varies considerably in all foods. Human breast milk contains calcium and magnesium in a ratio of 10:1 – just like cow’s milk and other natural foods. Many human cultures like the Chinese and Japanese have had strong bones for thousands of years without ever taking or relying on calcium and magnesium at a 2:1 ratio3,4.

How to take Lifestream Natural Calcium

Lifestream Natural Calcium is available in capsules and powder form. Each capsule contains 300mg of elemental calcium plus other important minerals. Each level teaspoon (2.8g) of Lifestream Natural Calcium powder provides 924mg of elemental calcium. Lifestream Natural Calcium is best taken with food at night time for optimum absorption. Lifestream Natural Calcium powder can be sprinkled onto food (just prior to serving) and can be mixed with juices. Capsules are not recommended for small children (due to the choking hazard) and therefore we advise that Lifestream Natural Calcium powder is used instead – it can be sprinkled onto young children’s food or drinks.

 

How to Use:

Children 1-11 years: Take quarter to half teaspoon daily.
 
12 years plus: Take half to 1 teaspoon daily.
 
Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers: Take 3 quarter to 1 and a half teaspoons daily.
 
Take after food to improve absorption.
 
Add to smoothies, water with a squeeze of lemon, juices or use in baking.
