Women over 30 must realise the importance of taking a good chelated Calcium formulation that also has Magnesium, Boron, Manganses and Vitamin D.
After the age of 30, more bones deteriorate than it is formed, causing bone density to decline. After menopause, the loss of estrogen causes bone loss to accelerate.
Some people say for the elderly ladies, a small fall will cause the fracture, but I believe its actually the fracture, that causes the fall. I just met a friend in her early 50's and she was in a wheel chair due to a fracture after a fall. She is certainly deficient in calcium and her sturbboness to realise that, will cause her even more stress and inconvenience as she ages ungracefully.
Some people like to calculate by age and weight to see how much calcium they should consume. But its not the quantity but the quality that matters. I remember Gucci said this - Quality is remembered, long after price is forgotten. Don't treat yourself cheaply!.
If you take 1,000mg of a cheap calcium carbonate, your body can only absorb 5% and the rest will cause you painful kidney & bladder stones and hardening of your arteries.
For calcium to work, it needs 2 parts calcium to 1 part magnesium. For calcium to be absorbed into the bone, and slow down the loss of calcium from the bone, you need a chelated formulation including Manganese, Vitamin D and Boron. Sounds complicated, but how our body works certainly is.
If you truly want to feel the difference then go invest in the Calcium Magnesium Complex and you can feel the difference in sleeping soundly, soothing aches and tired muscles but more importantly, you can do a before and after bone density test and see positive results in just 30 days
Other than ladies over 30, if you have kids and want them to grow up tall, well the more calcium you give them, the taller they will grow.
Calcium is one key ingredient to make hormones and enzymes and if men want to truly be men, then you also need to take the Calcium Magnesium Complex at least 3 times weekly or you will always be trying weakly.
So I highly recommend this Calcium Magnesium Complex to
a) Pregnant & Nursing mothers
b) Babies above 6 months
c) Children and Teens up to 19 years
d) Ladies 30 and above
e) Men mid 20s and above
What you spend on your self or your family is never wasted, especially if it helps keep you healthy. So wise up and don't save on yourself, as either you spend on prevention or spend lots more on the treatment and cure.
Invest in the Calcium Magnesium Complex today and see and feel the positive difference!

Cleansing the womb before Pregnancy
If you are going to bake a cake in an oven for 2 hours, would you clean up the oven first?.
Now imagine a foetus in a warm womb for 9 months, and this womb has never been cleaned for the last 20-30 years! Does that sound like a disaster waiting to explode?.
So if you are planning for a baby, include in an additional 30 days to do a cleanse and detox of your blood, liver, colon and kidneys, so that your blood can carry the best oxygen and nutrients to healthily nourish your baby.
You alone can determine, if your baby's organs develop correctly, and arrive safely and healthily.
Sometimes it's the case of being penny wise and pound foolish. Just to save the RM300 on the 4 cleansing products, you land up with a sickly child, that needs life-long medication and care. It's just not worth taking the risk, don't you think?
Ask me more about how Natures Tea, Paraway Plus, Red Clover Plus and Superchlorophyll, can give your body a safe and proper cleanse and ensure a healthy baby.
Or visit my eBay store to do a 30 day Cleanse & Detox today and feel the difference in your energy levels.

No Milk today again?
Yesterday, I went to visit a friend who had just delivered her second son 4 days earlier.
As always, my gifts will be a Chlorospirulina and a Salmon Omega 3 oil. These are really excellent products for the mum to consume, to boost milk production and also feed the essential nutrients like EPA, DHA, vitamins, minerals and protein to her baby, through her milk. And also replenish the mum's nutrients so she does not experience post natal depression.
I was sad to learn that 4 days after delivery, she is still waiting for her milk to start flowing. So I had to ask, what about during your first son - did you have milk before his delivery or did the milk start when you started using these 2 products, that I gave her previously too?.
I was not suprised by the expected answer, but surprised that even after seeing what Chlorospirulina and Salmon Omega 3 did for her first birth, she was still taking chances and saving on these 2 supplements, and depriving her new second born, with her colostrum and antibodies from her breast milk.
There are 3 products every pregnant and lactating mother should consume, to ensure her baby gets the best raw ingredients, and get a heard start in life.
Calcium Magnesium Complex - to build a strong skeletal system and also to replenish the calcium in the mother and sooth the back and calf aches.
Chlorospirulina - the most complete food from the sea - to build strong healthy organs and
Salmon Omega 3 oil - to build the brain, eyes and good skin and also replenish the DHA and prevent post natal depression.
If a pregnant mother gets these 3 essential supplements, not only will she have an easy pregnancy, birth and quick recovery, but also wont go through the pregnancy cravings, brought about by the lack of minerals in the body.
What is cheap is seldom good and what is good is never cheap. So don't cheapen yourself and stinge on your health and that of your kids. For quality is remembered, long after price is forgotten.

Why you need a chelated Calcium Supplement
The previous RDA (recommended daily allowance) of 800 milligrams of calcium per day for an adult woman was replaced by the Institute of Medicine in 1997. The new recommendations, now called DRIs (dietary reference intakes), are for
500mg for ages 1 to 3,
800mg for ages 4 to 8,
1,200mg for ages 9 to 18,
1,000mg for ages 19 to 50.
1,300mg during pregnancy and lactating
1.500mg for women in menopause or over 65
Osteoporosis is the most common bone disease from a metabolic cause in the United States. It produces hundreds of thousands of fractures every year, most commonly in the backbones, hips and wrists.
Eight million women and 2 million men suffer from this disorder. Women are more prone to osteoporosis than men because they have lighter bones and lose bone mass more rapidly after menopause. It is often thought of as being "postmenopausal osteoporosis" because this is the most common setting for the disease.
Hormone deficiencies (estrogen in women and androgens in men) are the most common cause. Many patients will choose to replace these hormones, but this is still controversial for some, due to their adverse side effects.
Calcium, magnesium, boron, mangnese, protein and vitamin D are all necessary to help prevent osteoporosis. Getting enough of these in your diet can be a challenge. Let's talk a bit about sources of calcium and general dietary recommendations. Let’s bone up on the basics.
Dairy products like milk, cheese and yogurt are the strongest calcium food sources. That statement is a myth, because today the dairy producing countries like Australia and the USA have the highest number of Osteoporosis cases. Why?. Milk and it’s by products are acidic in nature and eat into the calcium in your bones.
Other foods that are very healthy for you anyway are good calcium sources. You can get a lot of calcium from bony fish, like herring, salmon, sardines and mackerel. Green leafy vegetables like kale, collards, broccoli and turnip greens have organic calcium as well. Many commercial foods, like bread, cereals and orange juice, are now (inorganic) calcium-fortified.
But most people still don't eat enough dietary calcium. People avoid dairy products to stay away from the fat in them, and dairy can also be a low-grade food allergy producer. Most of us don't eat that many green vegetables, and who eats sardines everyday? So there's the problem.
Some foods can interfere with calcium absorption by binding the calcium. This would include foods like spinach, nuts and rhubarb (containing oxalate) and soybeans and wheat bran (containing phytate). These are fine foods, just don't take your calcium supplement along with them. Avoid too, the "natural" sources of calcium like oyster shell, dolomite and bone meal, as they can be slightly contaminated with heavy metals like lead
I think most experts would say that you have to get as much calcium from your diet as you can, and then if you still fall a little short, you can supplement up to a decent level. But what supplements should you take? Well, there's a right answer.
Calcium carbonate is the cheapest and most widely used calcium supplement, but it doesn't dissolve so well, particularly if you are an older person who doesn't make much stomach acid. This is the form of calcium that's in Tums and OsCal. Taking it with a meal can help. You can test the dissolvability of your calcium tablet in normal stomach acid by dropping a pill into a cup of vinegar. If it hasn't dissolved in 20 to 30 minutes, you’ll have trouble with stones and bone spurs after 5-10 years.
Calcium citrate is the second most common form and can be taken in a fizzy drink or a pill. It's more easily absorbed than calcium carbonate.
Chelated forms (calcium is bound to an amino acid -protein is more expensive but will give you greater value for your money. These would include calcium lactate, glubionate, gluconate and calcium citrate malate. They are absorbed up to 10 times better than non chelated forms of minerals. Ref: Earl Mindell’s Vitamin Bible, pg 19. Alboin Labs, International Conference on Human Nutrition 1995.
Taking more than 400 milligrams of calcium at a time is not a good idea, because our absorption mechanism seems to get overloaded at around that level. You should get about 200 milligrams of magnesium as well, because lots of calcium can deplete magnesium. So please ensure you use a calcium magnesium supplement with a ration of 2:1
And remember that calcium requires vitamin D for absorption; so be sure to get 80 IU of this vitamin per day. You also require 7 micrograms manganese and 6 micrograms boron to bring the calcium from your blood stream into your bone to build up your bone bank.
The Enrich Calcium-Magnesium Complex. is the best way, to not only to get all your minerals, but also to absorb them and fully utilise them to strengthen your bones. These minerals at the same time help your muscles relax after a stressful and tiring day. (ref: Physiology Journal)
Magnesium helps to relax the heart muscles too and is needed to stabilise blood pressure, reduce heart enlargement and balance cholesterol. (ref: American Heart Journal).
Some people have reported that after using the Calcium Magnesium Complex for 8 weeks, their migranes stopped, muscle cramps lessen and blood pressure normalises.
Others know that the skeletal structure needs lots of calcium, and because they want tall children, they give them this Calcium Magnesium Complex as recommended.
Go do a bone density test and try it for 8 weeks and you can judge the results yourself.
