The Facts Are In.
Science has proven that plant based calcium works better in the body than traditional calcium supplements, particular man-made ones like synthetic calcium carbonate.
It’s time to check your calcium bottle, folks! If you’re taking calcium carbonate for your osteo health, READ ON!
More and more people are becoming aware of the benefits (and potential dangers) of taking a calcium supplement. However, all calcium supplements are not the same. If you’ve been thinking about making the switch from a traditional calcium supplement to plant based calcium, here are some facts to consider.
#1 – Plant based calcium is more readily absorbed.
It’s a simple fact that the body prefers natural ingredients over synthetic ones, and calcium is no exception. Sources like red algae contain calcium that is readily accepted by the body, allowing for superior absorption and utilization.
Most calcium carbonate supplements, on the other hand, are synthetic. Their bioavailability varies a great deal depending on the production process, and often results in unwanted chemical residues.
Bone Armor from Mother Earth Labs contains calcium from red algae which is readily absorbed and utilized by the body.
#2 – Plant based calcium contains more nutrients
Because plant based calcium is naturally occurring, it contains trace minerals and other nutrients that work together to help boost your bone health.
Nature is pretty good about supplying what your body needs in a holistic manner, so when you get your calcium from natural, whole food sources, you can be sure you’re getting these little bonuses as well.
Bone Armor from Mother Earth Labs contains plant based calcium plus other vitamins and nutrients to support your bone health naturally.
#3 – Plant based calcium is easier on the stomach
Synthetic calcium supplements are often the cause of digestive distress.
If you’ve ever experienced gas, bloating, or constipation while taking calcium, you’ll be relieved to know that plant-based calcium is far less likely to give your stomach any trouble.
#4 – Plant based calcium is a pure, clean, more sustainable choice
Because plant based calcium is made of ingredients like red algae, it’s free from chemicals or harmful toxins, making it a safe and natural choice. Sustainably grown and harvested, plant based calcium is eco-friendly and ethical.
The process of creating synthetic calcium carbonate, however, varies drastically from manufacturer to manufacturer, and can leave chemical residue in the final product – contributing to the buildup of toxins in the body. Its production has also been shown to generate significant CO2 emissions, making it a less eco-friendly option.
Bone Armor from Mother Earth Labs contains zero synthetics and is manufactured on site in Texas, providing incredible sustainability and traceability.
#5 – Plant based calcium is simply better
Studies suggest that plant based calcium have a smaller chance of causing or contributing to the formation of kidney stones, unlike synthetic calcium carbonate.
In addition, algae based calcium is vegan friendly, doesn’t require stomach acid for absorption, and is not as likely to cause a calcium overdose.
