The bone is a dynamic and active organ with a complex
structure. It contains, among other components, live tissue, nerves, blood
vessels, marrow, and collagen. Bones play many fundamental roles in your body –
provide structure, protect organs, anchor your muscles, store minerals, and
produce red and white blood cells. Throughout its lifetime, the bone goes
through both destruction and formation carried out by osteoclasts and
osteoblasts respectively. As a part of growth and development, your skeleton undergoes
these processes to gain appropriate shape and structure. This process is called
modeling. Whereas during remodeling there is a simultaneous breakdown of old or
damaged bone and replacement with new bone mass. Remodeling accounts for the
complete regeneration of the adult skeleton every 10 years.
For good health and steady functioning of bones, adequate
nutrition is essential. Optimum bone health rests on a group of nutrients that
work in consonance to improve skeletal health and keep multiple diseases
(especially aging) at bay. Several nutrients and dietary components and
bioactive food ingredients can influence bone health.
Nutrition is always a balanced influence of multiple
nutrients and it is especially true of bone health. Unived CalDveg ensures you
get enough vegan calcium magnesium and other minerals and vitamins which
facilitate calcium absorption and utilization.
Our Formulation
An increasing volume of research has brought a shift in the
perception that equates calcium lone to bone health, by highlighting the
importance of vitamin c, vitamin D3, vitamin K2-7 and minerals like phosphorus
and magnesium. Consuming plain calcium supplements is not only ineffective it
is also dangerous; specifically for your cardiovascular health.
It is also well established that most commercial calcium
supplementation taken singularly do more harm than good. A balance of
composition is essential for optimum bone health.
Thus, Unived’s Cal Dveg contains a balances dosage of all
the elements necessary for your bones including 500mg algae calcium, 82mg
magnesium from algae magnesium and sea minerals, 80mg vitamin C, 600 I.U. plant
based vitamin D3 and 50mcg vitamin K2-7 and other trace minerals.
Compared to other calcium supplements, CalDveg is a vegan
calcium source that is more bio-available and made for maximum absorption and
utilization. The body is able to utilize over 80% of the useful minerals as
compared with extremely low utilization (less than 10%) in case of synthetic
minerals contained in popular supplements with calcium carbonate and calcium
citrate. <br> <br>
Mode of Action:
Algae calcium + Vitamin C + Vitamin D3 + Vitamin K2-7 +
Magnesium
- Increases the production of Osteocalcin bu the Osteobalsts
(bone forming cells). - Is necessary to activate Osteocakcin – the protein that
binds calcium effectively to the bone. - Inhibits the production of osteoclasts (bone-destroying
cells). - Effectively brings about calcium deposition on the bone.
- Aids in collagen formation and bone density.
