Abstract:
Active Absorbable Algal Calcium (AAACa) is made by submaximally (800 degrees C) heating cleaned oyster shell under reduced pressure and mix it with similarly heated seaweed (Cystophyllum fusiforme). AAACa, best absorbed from the intestine among available calcium compounds, consequently most efficiently suppresses parathyroid hormone secretion, increases bone mineral density and decreases vertebral fracture. Aging is associated with calcium deficiency, mostly because of the decreased biosynthesis of 1,25 (OH)2 vitamin D in the kidney. Parathyroid hormone consequently increases, contributing to various concerns associated with aging such as decrease of calcium in the bone, as well as [several concerns] due to paradoxical increase of calcium in vascular walls, brain, cartilage and intracellular compartment of many kinds of cells. Mild calcium deficiency is hard to detect despite these serious consequences because of the remarkable constancy of blood calcium concentration maintained by elaborate homeostatic control. Only by successfully counteracting calcium deficiency by AAA Ca with outstanding absorbability, the phenomenon of calcium paradox becomes a recognizable reality within our reach.

Trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Some people received free AdvaCAL as a thank you for providing their testimonial. Adequate calcium with vitamin D as part of a healthful diet throughout life, along with physical activity, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis in later life. AdvaCAL is not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent or cure osteoporosis. Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake throughout life in a healthful diet are essential to reducing osteoporosis risk but is not the only recognized risk factor for the development of osteoporosis. No reduction in the risk of osteoporosis can be attributed to maintaining an adequate dietary calcium and vitamin D intake throughout life.
