Enerex uses PETE plastic containers, a thermoplastic polymer  resin. PETE plastic provides a superior moisture and oxygen barrier  compared to the more common HDPE plastic that most vitamin manufacturers  use. 

These minerals form the foundation of our skeletal system, helping  prevent osteoporosis, mend fractures, and contract muscles. But alone  they are less functional without the co-factors that are essential to  mineral metabolism so they can be utilized where needed. Dietary  challenges, stress, and poor digestion can also create deficiencies and  imbalances leading to disease.

Using a superior ratio of 1:1 for the calcium and magnesium, our  unique soft tablet manufacturing process creates a product with superior  absorption, while the whole food kale base helps correct our alkalinity  and facilitates absorption of the difficult to digest minerals.

Will you get it?

A youthful, vibrant body, at any age, must have a strong structural  foundation — meaning your skeleton. However, one in four women and one  in eight men over the age of 50 have osteoporosis. In Canada, more women  die each year as a result of osteoporotic fractures than from breast  and ovarian cancer combined. Between 45 and 75 years of age, women lose  30 percent of their skeletal structure and men lose 15 percent.

Calcium Confusion

Your body needs Calcium to contract and expand muscles and blood  vessels, to secrete essential hormones and enzymes, and to send messages  through your nervous system. It’s so important that without enough  Calcium from your diet, your body robs what it needs from your bones.

You are what you absorb

Part of the osteoporosis problem is Calcium absorption. It has been  estimated that children absorb 75 percent of the Calcium they eat, and  adults less efficient digestive systems absorb 30 percent. And whereas  the Calcium in plant foods is ideal, research is proving that Calcium  from dairy foods may not be effective to build bones because its acidity  might pull Calcium from bones to buffer it.

Your body’s 206 bones are living, ever-changing tissue. Your entire  skeleton will be replaced every 7 to 20 years (estimates vary). But poor  nutrition, acidity, lack of exercise and sunshine, low parathyroid  hormone and stress cause loss of Calcium and other minerals from bones.  This starts to create tiny pits that make them less dense, weak and  brittle. This is osteoporosis.

Enerex OSTEO CAL:MAG offers highly-absorbable  chelated Calcium and Magnesium, along with co-worker nutrients Boron,  Silicon and Vitamins D and K that are vital to bones. The superfood raw  organic kale is added to combat acidity in the body — which is thought  by some researchers to be the missing link to osteoporosis prevention.

Calcium can’t get into bones on its own. It needs co-partners  (co-factors): Magnesium, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, and trace minerals —  Magnesium must be supplemented with Calcium for a healthy balance in the  body; Vitamin D3 helps Calcium to be absorbed; Boron helps to prevent  loss of Calcium and Magnesium (excreted in the urine), and Silicon helps  Calcium to be absorbed by the body. Enerex OSTEO CAL:MAG provides the important co-factors nutrients.

The Enerex Advantage

How to get bones to take in Calcium

You need “organic” minerals – those that are or were living and  provide life to the body’s cells as food – rather than “inorganic” to be  absorbed into bones. By combining Calcium with an amino acid (in a  process called “chelating”), Enerex’s OSTEO CAL:MAG creates  an organic chelate bond. As a result, studies show that 75% more  Calcium is delivered to the bones than with inorganic (non-chelated)  Calcium. For example, poorly absorbed inorganic Calcium carbonate  provides very little Calcium. Magnesium is absorbed 87% when properly  chelated, but only 16% when taken in an inorganic non-chelated form.

Calcium-Magnesium equation?            

The body needs more Magnesium than what was once thought because many  of us are deficient, and it’s difficult to absorb from food. Although  the RDA for Magnesium it is 400-450 mg/day, many researchers recommend  1200 mg/day (with Calcium’s RDA at 1200 mg/day). Therefore, the ideal  ratio that OSTEO CAL:MAG offers is equal amounts of Calcium and Magnesium.

A new way to consider osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is not only caused by lack of Calcium and other  minerals, but by excess acidity. Since most North Americans are too  acidic due to eating too much protein and processed foods, stress and  medications, the body pulls alkaline minerals from bones to balance its  pH level. Over time, this weakens bones. Research shows that increasing  vegetables in the diet decreases the risk of osteoporosis because they  are alkalinizing. Enerex OSTEO CAL:MAG includes super alkalizing raw organic kale to help offset acidity. This formula is good to the bone!
