Why is the form of Calcium in a supplement important? The key to bone health is not just in how much calcium is consumed, but how much is absorbed; and Calcium citrate and Hydroxyapatite are both highly absorbable. Hydroxyapatite is naturally present in bone, so the body needs to do little to it in order to absorb and use it. Calcium citrate has also been scientifically shown to be better absorbed1 than Calcium carbonate (a common form of Calcium in supplements) in people with low stomach acid. Why does this product include soy isoflavones? ResearchÊhas shown that soy isoflavones may help to maintain healthy bone density. Menopausal and post-menopausal women have a greater risk of bone density loss due to lowered natural oestrogen levels.Ê Soy isoflavones, a type of phyto-oestrogen (plant oestrogen), can mimic some of the bodyÕs natural oestrogens, which may support hormonal balance and bone health during menopause. |
