CALRemeDy®
120 vegetarian capsules

Maintaining healthy bone density has become one of the most important health issues facing both men and women today. CALRemeDy® was formulated to provide optimal amounts of calcium, vitamin D3 and vitamin K in one convenient, vegetarian capsule.

So that it need not depend on stomach acid for solubility and absorption, CALRemeDy® utilizes the more bioavailable and flexible calcium citrate. Each capsule contains 200 mg of elemental calcium citrate to optimize absorption, since a higher percentage of calcium is absorbed from a small rather than a large calcium dose. CALRemeDy® allows for multiple small dosages of calcium to be taken any time during the day to meet your individual requirements.

Also critically important is the addition of vitamin D3 which stimulates calcium absorption and promotes healthy bone density.* Vitamin D3 is not found naturally in many foods. In fact, most of our vitamin D3 is produced in our bodies by the action of sunlight on 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin. As people age, however, (and when they use sunscreens) they often lose the ability to make adequate amounts of vitamin D3. Low levels of vitamin D3 are common, especially in older people and those living in the northern latitudes. Therefore, supplementing with vitamin D becomes critical. Vitamin D3 is superior to vitamin D2, as it has been shown to raise blood levels 70% better than D2. Each capsule contains 100 IU of Vitamin D3 and this can be safely added to the DailyMultiple or Daily2Tab, each of which contains 600 IU of vitamin D3.

CALRemeDy® also supplies vitamin K1, phylloquinone, and another biologically active form of vitamin K2 known as menaquinone for additional bone support.*
