CalciAIM

calcium, the most effective method of delivery, and a combination
of nutrients to help achieve superior whole-body health.
Medicinal Ingredients: (per one rounded scoop 8.33 g)
Calcium (lactate/gluconate/carbonate) 400 mg
The CalciAIM formula provides three beneficial forms
of calcium. Soluble, organic calcium lactate is bioavailable
throughout the digestive tract. Calcium gluconate is a highly
soluble form of calcium that enhances its absorption by
stimulating bifidobacteria in the intestine. It also increases the
solubility and absorption of magnesium and inhibits kidney
stone formation. Calcium carbonate is one of the most abundant,
naturally occurring forms of calcium on earth. When water is
added to the blend of calcium salts and citric and malic acids in
CalciAIM, insoluble calcium carbonate transforms into soluble
calcium citrate and malate, and better yet, the most absorbable
form—free-ionic calcium.
Each one-scoop serving of CalciAIM supplies 400 mg
of absorbable calcium. Health Canada recommends 1,000–
1,200 mg daily for both men and women. However, the latest
research indicates that our bodies can absorb only 500 mg of
calcium at one time; therefore, two servings of CalciAIM
should be taken several hours apart.
To complement the three forms of calcium, CalciAIM
contains several other nutrients that support good bone health
and maintenance:
Magnesium (citrate/carbonate) 104 mg
Magnesium is a mineral involved in hundreds of biochemical
reactions in the body. Along with assisting in calcium uptake,
magnesium plays a role in carbohydrate metabolism, muscle
contraction, nerve transmission, and bone mineralization.
Magnesium also has a vital role as a catalyst in enzyme activity,
especially for enzymes involved in the production of energy.
L-lysine (L-lysine hydrochloride) 150 mg
L-lysine HCL is an essential amino acid that must come from diet
or supplementation. L-lysine can enhance
the absorption of calcium into the
bloodstream and limit its excretion by
the urinary system. This amino acid is
also involved in the formation
of collagen, a protein found
in skin, tendons, cartilage,
bone, and other connective
tissue.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) 30 mg
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can improve
immune, gum, and dental health. In addition, when paired
with L-lysine, the vitamin can improve the development and
maintenance of cartilage.
Zinc (Zinc citrate) 2.5 mg
Zinc is important in calcium absorption. Studies reveal that
a low intake of zinc and low blood zinc levels can result in an
increased risk of osteoporosis for men and women. Zinc also
supports the immune system.
Copper (Copper gluconate) 500 mcg
Copper is an essential micronutrient and a critical functional
component of cuproenzymes such as lysyl oxidase, which plays a
role in the formation of bones.
Vitamin D 2 (Ergocalciferol) 300 IU
Ergocalciferol is a natural source of vitamin D derived from
plants. Vitamin D is required for bone development and growth
in children, maintenance of bone in adults, and prevention of
osteoporosis and fractures in the elderly. This vitamin helps in
the absorption and utilization of both calcium and phosphorous.
According to the Vitamin D Council, maintaining adequate
levels of vitamin D has been linked to a decreased risk of several
degenerative diseases including diabetes, osteoarthritis, and
multiple sclerosis.
Recommended use: Helps in the development and maintenance
of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums.
Recommended dose: Adolescents aged 12–18: Take one scoop
daily with a meal. Adults aged 19 and over: Take one scoop
twice daily with meals. Mix one rounded scoop (8.33 g) with
240–300 ml of cold water. Take a few hours before or after
taking other medications.
Risk information: Consult a health care practitioner prior to
use if you are following a low protein diet.
Q & A
Can I take other products in conjunction with CalciAIM?
Yes, CalciAIM can be introduced to a daily regimen of other
AIM products. CalciAIM can be mixed with other AIM
products. Although CalciAIM is mildly acidic, it can be
mixed with AIM BarleyLife® because the combination of both
products is less acidic than your stomach.
