Pure Encapsulations® Calcium MCHA – Natural calcium from microcrystalline hydroxylapatite for bones and teeth

Further product information

Pure Encapsulations® Calcium MCHA contains calcium in the form of microcrystalline hydroxylapatite (MCHA) of natural origin. Hydroxylapatite is an important mineral component of human bone tissue and gives bones and teeth their strength.

Calcium is required for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. It also contributes to normal muscle function, normal signal transmission between nerve cells, and normal energy metabolism.

The preparation was developed to specifically supplement calcium intake, especially when dietary intake is insufficient.

Properties and benefits

• Bones: Calcium is required for the maintenance of normal bones.

• Teeth: Supports the maintenance of normal teeth.

• Natural hydroxylapatite: Mineral calcium phosphate compound of natural origin.

• Muscle function: Calcium contributes to normal muscle function.

• Nervous system: Supports normal signal transmission between nerve cells.

• Energy metabolism: Contributes to normal energy metabolism.

• Blood clotting: Calcium supports normal blood clotting.

• Cell division: Calcium has a function in cell division and cell specialization.

• Tested quality: Manufactured according to controlled quality standards.

Hydroxylapatite – A natural component of bones

Hydroxylapatite is a calcium phosphate mineral and forms the main inorganic component of bones and teeth.

It is embedded in the organic bone matrix, which consists mainly of collagen.

The interplay between collagen and hydroxylapatite gives bone both strength and a certain elasticity.

Calcium and bone density

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body.

Approximately 99% of all calcium is found in bones and teeth.

Bone density describes the mineral density of bone tissue and is an important factor in bone strength.

Bone density may decrease with age. Bone mineral loss can accelerate particularly after menopause.

Adequate calcium intake, regular physical activity, and appropriate vitamin D intake are important components of bone health.

Calcium MCHA – Microcrystalline Hydroxylapatite

Pure Encapsulations® Calcium MCHA contains microcrystalline hydroxylapatite of natural origin.

This calcium phosphate compound is similar in its mineral composition to the hydroxylapatite found in human bone tissue.

The preparation provides calcium to supplement daily mineral intake.

However, it has not been conclusively proven to be absorbed better or have a greater effect on bone density than other calcium compounds.

Calcium intake in later life

According to the D-A-CH reference values, the daily calcium requirement for adults is approximately 1000 mg.

Adequate intake can be achieved through calcium-rich foods such as dairy products, certain vegetables, calcium-rich mineral water, and fortified plant-based foods.

If daily calcium intake from food is insufficient, taking a supplement may be beneficial.

Important information

Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Keep out of reach of young children and store in a cool, dry place.

Important: If you have kidney disease, elevated blood calcium levels, or a tendency to develop calcium-containing kidney stones, consult a doctor before taking additional calcium.

Calcium may interfere with the absorption of certain medications, especially thyroid hormones, bisphosphonates, and some antibiotics. Observe the appropriate time intervals between doses.

If you are also taking other calcium or vitamin D supplements, take the total daily nutrient intake into account.
