Calcium
Calcium is best known for its vital role in the formation of strong bones and teeth; however, its benefits
are more far reaching than most realize. Calcium is important in the maintenance of a regular heartbeat
and the transmission of nerve impulses. 29,30 It helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels and supports a
healthy cardiovascular system. 29 Calcium is needed for muscular growth and contraction, and it offers
aid for mild muscle cramps. It also supports the synthesis of RNA and DNA. 29
Aided by vitamin D, calcium is incorporated into skeletal and cartilage tissues. 31 Female distance
runners improved bone density in certain bones by adding calcium supplementation beyond their daily
diet consumption. 32 Regular exercise and a healthy diet with enough calcium helps teens and young
adult women maintain good bone health and may reduce their high risk of osteoporosis. A 3-year
study showed that vitamin D and calcium supplementation supported bone health in an elderly
community. 33 This nutrient benefits all age groups by supporting healthy bone density, and is a
particularly essential supplement for those on a calorie restricted weight loss program. 34
Studies show that calcium has a role in supporting the immune system, and it supports the secretions
of the parathyroid gland in combination with vitamin D. 31 Calcium also appears to support a healthy
colon wall. 35 Calcium maintains proper cell membrane permeability, aids in neuromuscular activity,
helps keep skin healthy, and supports a healthy pregnancy. 29
One human study demonstrated that it is more beneficial to include calcium supplementation with a
meal. 36 This is why RBC has added a beneficial amount of calcium to its 24Seven Life Essentials
packets, which are to be taken with each meal.
Capsicum
Capsicum is a therapeutic plant containing unique apocarotenoid components, which are substances
that act as antioxidants and may support health. 37 As a medicinal plant, capsicum has been used as a
soothing agent for the stomach and the gastrointestinal tract. 38 It also supports healthy circulation and
it has been studied for its ability to aid in the flow of saliva and gastric juices. 38
Carotene Complex
An exciting new area of health research is discovering the many benefits of plant compounds known
as carotenoids. They not only give plants their wide variety of colors, but they also support human
health in powerful ways. Noticing these many benefits, RBC is leading the way by adding a unique
carotene complex to its foundational product, 24Seven Life Essentials. This carotene complex contains
a powerful blend of astaxanthin, lycopene, lutein, and citrus bioflavonoids. These plant-derived

compounds play an important role in protecting against disease and age related conditions.
