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

Additional product information

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

Calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. In addition, it contributes to normal muscle function, to normal signal transmission between nerve cells and to a normal energy metabolism.

The supplement was developed for the targeted supplementation of calcium intake, particularly when dietary intake is insufficient.

Properties and benefits

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

• Teeth: Supports the maintenance of normal teeth.

• Natural hydroxyapatite: A 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 a 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.

Hydroxyapatite – A natural component of bones

Hydroxyapatite is a calcium phosphate mineral and forms the essential inorganic component of bones and teeth.

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

The interaction of collagen and hydroxyapatite gives bone both strength and a certain elasticity.

Calcium and bone density

Calcium is the most important mineral by quantity in the human body.

About 99% of total calcium is found in bones and teeth.

Bone density describes the mineral density of bone tissue and is an important factor for bone stability.

Bone density can decrease with increasing age. Especially after menopause, the loss of bone minerals can accelerate.

Sufficient calcium intake, regular physical activity and an adequate vitamin D intake are important components of bone health.

Calcium MCHA – Microcrystalline hydroxyapatite

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

In its mineral composition, this calcium phosphate compound is similar to the hydroxyapatite of human bone tissue.

The supplement provides calcium to supplement daily mineral intake.

However, a fundamentally better absorption or a stronger effect on bone density compared with other calcium compounds has not been clearly demonstrated.

Calcium intake in older age

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

Sufficient 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 through diet is insufficient, supplementary intake may be beneficial.

Important notes

Food 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 small children and store in a cool, dry place.

Important: In case of kidney disease, elevated blood calcium levels or a tendency to calcium-containing kidney stones, additional calcium intake should be discussed with a physician.

Calcium can impair the absorption of certain medications, in particular thyroid hormones, bisphosphonates and some antibiotics. Appropriate dosing intervals should be observed.

When taking other calcium or vitamin D supplements at the same time, the total daily nutrient intake should be taken into account.
