Herbal life Calcium is a daily calcium supplement designed to promote bone health by combining magnesium and Vitamin D, providing essential support for maintaining strong and resilient bones while aiding absorption for physiological processes.
Calcium is essential to overall body health, particularly during postmenopausal women’s transition. Calcium supplementation with Vitamin D and magnesium helps preserve the integrity of bones and teeth for improved calcium absorption. With Xtra-Cal, you can help your bones remain strong as your bone density gradually declines over time.
Calcium
Calcium is an essential mineral for maintaining strong bones. Additionally, it plays a key role in muscle function. Low calcium levels may result in muscle cramps due to an imbalance between calcium and potassium in your body resulting in medium to severe discomfort over time. One way of combatting such problems is taking Herbalife Calcium Plus daily.
This supplement provides the necessary calcium dosage, along with magnesium and vitamin D, which ensures your body can absorb it effectively – thus protecting bones from internal weakness.
Herbalife’s Xtra-Cal formula was specifically developed to deliver over 100% of daily calcium intake for optimal bone and tooth health, while also including Vitamin D and Magnesium which boost absorption rates of calcium in the body.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that assists the body’s absorption of calcium and phosphorous, thus contributing to strong and healthy bones. For maximum effectiveness of any dietary supplement, taking Vitamin D alongside Calcium may be required.
Magnesium plays an essential role in protein synthesis and energy metabolism, as well as being an all-natural calcium chelator. It plays an essential role in over 600 intracellular reactions within the body. Furthermore, magnesium plays a key role in maintaining the normal pH balance in blood. Herbal Life Calcium’s Magnesium supplement contributes significantly towards maintaining these benefits of magnesium to ensure healthy bones and teeth for its users.
Croscarmellose Sodium is an additive added to Herbalife Xtra-Cal supplements to aid with the absorption of nutrients into the body. It acts as a lubricant, making tablets easier for consumers to swallow down. Without it, your body could find it impossible to ingest them and ingesting is impossible.
Magnesium
Herbal life Calcium tablets contain an abundance of Magnesium, an essential mineral involved in over 600 intra-cellular processes such as bone strength, protein synthesis and energy metabolism. Furthermore, magnesium acts as a natural antacid that may help treat heartburn symptoms. Adding magnesium-rich products like Herbalife ensures calcium is reaching your intestines for healthy bones.
Croscarmellose Sodium, another key component in Herbalife Calcium, helps your body absorb calcium. It dissolves easily in water and forms a gel when mixed together; additionally, it creates the sensation in your stomach of having eaten enough food, so as not to overindulge. This feature makes Herbal life Calcium especially helpful for people struggling with weight management.
Calcium is essential to the health of bones and teeth. It helps prevent osteoporosis, rickets and osteomalacia as well as supporting normal muscle and heart function. Calcium requirements increase at various points throughout life – pregnancy/lactation/lactation/adolescence/menopause for example – with vitamin D helping absorb calcium efficiently in your body absorbing it effectively through vitamin supplements like Herbalife’s Xtra-Cal Advanced supplement providing all of the calcium you require for strong bones/healthy aging!
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is an integral component of Herbal life Calcium tablets and plays an integral part in helping the body absorb Calcium. Furthermore, Vitamin D plays an integral part in helping develop strong bones and teeth – as evidenced by studies conducted at Tufts University Dental School and Boston University which demonstrate increased calcium absorption through vitamin D supplements.
Vitamin D can be obtained naturally in limited amounts from tuna, mackerel and salmon as well as some foods like liver, egg yolks and fortified cereals. Small amounts may also be found in mushrooms; however, sunlight exposure remains by far the primary source of Vitamin D.
Vitamin D plays an essential role in helping the body absorb calcium and phosphorous from foods and regulating its blood calcium level, with low levels having been linked to bone loss, weak teeth and osteoporosis.
Xtra-Cal is a daily calcium supplement with an assortment of minerals and vitamins designed to support bone and tooth health, such as Vitamin D and Magnesium which enhance calcium absorption.
Benefits
Carbonate Calcium is not only great for bone health, but it is also an effective natural antacid used to assist digestion and ease heartburn symptoms. It’s used as an ingredient in many commercial antacid products and used to help treat other medical conditions like peptic ulcers and high blood pressure.
Reports indicate that over one billion people worldwide are vitamin D deficient, yet its importance can reduce cancer, cardiovascular disease and inflammatory conditions such as diabetes.
Vitamin D has been shown to play a crucial role in supporting good health by strengthening immune function, increasing muscle strength and bone density, as well as supporting better cardiovascular and brain health. Vitamin D is therefore an essential nutrient needed to ensure good overall wellbeing.
Herbalife created Xtra-Cal with Vitamin D, Magnesium and other vital ingredients to ensure you can meet daily Vitamin D requirements through your diet alone. It’s an especially great solution for lactose intolerant individuals, vegetarians and vegans, or the elderly who may not get enough from food alone.
Microcrystalline Cellulose
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), discovered in 1955, has quickly become one of the most frequently used pharmaceutical binder ingredients since then. Since its discovery, MCC has become a staple for tableting as well as dissolvable drug formulations due to its advantageous qualities compared with other excipients – it provides bulk to finished tablets while having superior disintegration properties; binding ingredients together while improving stability, preventing leakage, controlling moisture content and managing moisture content are just some of its attributes; MCC is also often chosen as an excipient when manufacturing effervescent powders.
MCC can be produced from various materials, but is most frequently made of tree wood, cotton or plant stalks. MCC is considered an eco-friendly additive as it does not contain GMOs and does not come from fields treated with pesticides; thus making it superior to starches derived from potatoes, wheat, corn or rice as sources for carb fillers.
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a naturally-occurring fiber-rich polymer found in many plants. This white, tasteless solid is insoluble in water, organic solvents and dilute alkalis – making it a useful filler in food products without adding calories while thickening food for creamy textures and providing bulk without excess calories. CMC can also add texture to chewable products or effervescent powders for texture purposes.
Closing Thoughts
Furthermore, it binds ingredients, acts as an emulsifier and can unify liquids that would normally be incompatible with each other, such as water and oil. Finally, it acts as a preservative to maintain freshness for longer.
Herbal Life Calcium is manufactured through coprocessing MCC and calcium carbonate in such a way as to produce a particulate material with desirable excipient performance characteristics, such as being free flowing, granular in appearance and having an average particle size that falls significantly below No. 60 sieve size. Additionally, this material can easily be handled by conventional direct compression tableting equipment without adverse affecting tablet formation and composition.
Granular particulate material consists of agglomerated particles of microcrystalline cellulose and calcium carbonate that have become interdependent over time, not possible through dry blending alone. Instead, they must first co-process as an aqueous slurry before drying to form particulate MCC/calcium carbonate admixture material.
