Pharmacology
Calcium Gluconate is the gluconate salt of calcium. Calcium is a mineral the body needs for normal nerve, muscle and heart function. When taken by mouth as the gluconate salt, it helps keep calcium balance steady and prevents bone loss. This agent may also be chemopreventive for colon and other cancers.
The Calcium Carbonate from Coral has a chemical structure very similar to the composition of human bone. Coral Calcium is similar to other sources but ensures better absorption. Vitamin D3 helps the body absorb calcium from the GI tract and helps maintain calcium balance. In humans, calcium is used as a pharmacological agent almost entirely to correct a deficiency. The body needs enough calcium in the blood for so many of its functions that our internal biochemistry will not tolerate a deficiency, even for short periods.
Vitamin C is an essential part of the diet because humans cannot make it themselves. It is a very powerful reducing agent and has an important part in the body's response to stress. It is also important in defence against infections.
Vitamin D is also essential for healthy bones, since it aids calcium absorption from the GI tract. It stimulates bone formation as well. Clinical studies show that calcium and vitamin D have synergistic effects on bone growth, and also in osteoporosis and fracture prevention.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, this supplement should always be taken under a doctor's direction. Calcium and vitamin D needs go up in both periods, but when the doctor decides how much to give, the amounts a woman already gets from other sources must be allowed for. Overdoses of vitamin D have caused teratogenic effects in pregnant animals. Vitamin D and its metabolites also pass into breast milk.
