You can never have too much of a good thing. Blood vessel contraction and expansion, the secretion of hormones and enzymes, sending messages through the nervous system and of course healthy bones; what do all these things have in common? Calcium: the most abundant mineral in the human body and now Calcium is easier for your body to get than ever before, with CAL.
Saving is better than spending.
Most of the Calcium in your body is stored in the bones and teeth where it supports their structure. The rest is found throughout the body in the blood, muscles, and the fluid between cells. Every day your body withdraws small amounts from your bones to support the normal function of your body systems. If you don’t get enough calcium, you could be withdrawing more than you are depositing. CAL makes sure that you are taking in more than you are giving out.
Just the right amount.
Just like a sponge your body can only absorb so much at one time. This is true with Calcium supplements. Studies have shown that 500mg taken twice a day is the proper way to replenish your body. Any more than that gets wasted. CAL has been specially formulated with these limits in mind.

AGEL™ CAL was formulated to help you get the right amount of the most abundant mineral in the human body, Calcium. This innovative formulation gives you 3 forms of Calcium that are more easily absorbed by the body than other sources, plus these 3 ingredients are combined with other key ingredients and the Suspension Gel technology, which makes CAL the right Calcium product for you.
Calcium is the building block of our body’s structure. Just like a building needs bricks and mortar, our body also has building blocks which promote strength and support. Calcium is the most important mineral in promoting strong and healthy bones. Almost all of the calcium in your body is in your skeleton and teeth. There is only about 1 % extra calcium outside of your skeletal system and most of this 1% is in your blood. As you get older your body needs an adequate supply of Calcium to keep your bones, blood and surrounding cells healthy.
Should I worry about Calcium Defciency?
Calcium is a mineral needed by the body for healthy bones, teeth, and proper function of the heart, muscles, and nerves. The body cannot produce its own Calcium; it must be absorbed through outside sources such as Calcium Supplements. Research shows that 75 % of people do not get enough Calcium each day. This alarming percentage worries many health care professionals.
So, what can be done to avoid Calcium Defciency?
Consuming the proper daily recommended amount of Calcium will eliminate any Calcium Defciency. By consuming AGEL™ CAL not only are you consuming the proper amount of Calcium, but you are also consuming the most effective forms of this important mineral. The formulation of CAL truly does eliminate any risk of Calcium Defciency.
So what are the key ingredients that make CAL an excellent source of Calcium? There are eight key ingredients which make CAL unique; these ingredients are Calcium Citrate, MCHA (Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite ), Calcium Aspartate, Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2, Iprifavone, Horsetail Extract, and Boron. These key ingredients each play equally distinct and important roles in the promotion of skeletal health.
It has been proven that Calcium Citrate is absorbed and digested by the body more effciently than Calcium Carbonate, especially in older people, and appears to be more effective than Calcium Carbonate. Calcium Citrate does not require stomach acid to be broken down, this means that it is more easily absorbed and utilized by the body. This also means that it can be taken on an empty stomach. Another unique advantage that comes with taking Calcium Citrate is that unlike other forms of Calcium, it does not block Iron absorption.
MCHA is derived from bovine and is a source of not only Calcium, but also other elemental and trace minerals, collagens, proteins and other components in their natural proportions. Many studies have shown that MCHA fosters both better absorption and actual reductions in radial bone loss than any other form of calcium. Studies show that this increased absorption is due to the presence of a protein and the microcrystalline structure, which provides a larger surface so that the minerals can be released from the organic- protein matrix into the intestines.
Calcium Aspartate is made from nature soluble Calcium and chelated with the amino acid, L-Aspartate. Calcium Aspartate extends the Calcium absorption from the duodenum to the entire length of the small intestine and therefore achieves the absorption rate much superior to those of other Calcium products.
Vitamin D3 is one of the most useful nutritional tools we have for improving overall health. Vitamin D3 is the only vitamin the body can manufacture from sunlight . Yet, with today’s indoor living and the extensive use of sunscreens due to concern about skin cancer, we are now a society with millions of individuals who are defcient in Vitamin D3. For more than a century, experts have recognized that Vitamin D3 plays a role in bone health. One of the best known and long-established benefts of Vitamin D3 is its ability to increase bone health and that of the musculoskeletal system.
Vitamin K2 has been scientifcally proven to provide amazing benefts for bone health and cardiovascular health, plus it is a powerful anti-oxidant and some emerging science indicates it might help with joint health.
Iprifavone combined with Calcium can slow and perhaps slightly reverse the natural process of bone breakdown. Iprifavone maintains bone density at the spine.
Horsetail Extract. This herb has been used therapeutically since ancient Roman and Greek times. Horsetail extract consists of the following compounds: favonoids (quercetin, luteolin and protogenkwanin glucosides, kaempferol, apigenin) phenolic acids, silicic acid, minerals, saponins (equisetonin), palustrine alkaloid and equistetolic acid. The plant’s therapeutic actions in maintaining bones as well as strengthening connective tissue are attributed to the silicic acid contained in the plant.
Boron aids in the proper metabolism of vitamins and minerals involved with bone strengthening and development, such as calcium, copper, magnesium, and vitamin D. In addition, boron
