Calcium

Information

Calcium (element chem. symbol Ca, atomic no. 20, the group of alkaline earth metals) is the basic building substance of bones and teeth, in which stored is 99% of the element, in the form of hydroxylapatite. When building bones and teeth, phosphorus is very important in the right proportion. It is a base-forming element and activator of many enzymes (ATPase) necessary to release the energy of ATP. It has a significant effect on blood clotting and regulates blood pressure and neuromuscular conductivity. Thanks to the reduced permeability of cell membranes, it soothes the symptoms of food allergies. Calcium is actively involved in the metabolism of iron interacts with vitamins A, C and D and phosphorus, magnesium. Natural source of calcium are animal products (dairy products, sardines, salmon, sprats eaten with bones) and plant products (nuts, soybeans, sunflower seeds). Absorption takes place in the small intestine (less in the colon), it has an effect on the level of lactose, insoluble fibre, organic acids, alkalinity (low pH). The best absorption have organic compounds (lactates, amino acid chelates etc.). Obstructing the absorption of calcium is caused by: phytic acid and oxalic acid as well as excess fat. Scientific studies have confirmed that the combination of calcium, magnesium, boron and vitamin D in dose 3 mg / 24h effectively prevent osteoporosis. Supplements on the market are both mono-preparation supplements (enriched with vitamin D3) and multi-component supplements, available at www.muscle-zone.pl.
Calcium deficiency disorders manifested in the construction of the bones (osteoporosis) and iron metabolism. The symptoms are: rickets, cramps and muscle tremor, osteoporosis.
Excess resulting from an overdose of calcium supplements containing vitamin D3 for children and adults overdose of calcium (hypercalcemia). Symptoms of hypercalcemia are: lack of appetite, vomiting and constipation.
The dosage administered in various publications are inconsistent: 800 - 1000 mg / 24 h (100 - 500 mg / 24h)

Relora

Information

Relora^® is a proprietary blend of a patented extract from Magnolia officinalis bark and patent- pending bark extract from the Amur cork tree (Phellodendron amurense). It was designed by the NPI, LLC, acquired in 2015 by InterHealth Naturaceuticals.

Three randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials clearly show that Relora^® has a positive effect on mood and helps to maintain normal body mass in people exposed to chronic stress. After a 4-week supplementation, participants of the trials had a much lower level of cortisol and also reported a reduction in tension and nervousness, better psychological well-being and higher energy levels.

Relora^® is especially recommended for people living under chronic stress and tension, but specialists suggest that it can also be used in people exposed to excessive physical exertion. It may potentially prevent overtraining.

Relora^® is available as a mono-preparation and it can also be found in combination with other natural substances, for example, adaptogens. In addition, it is included in some supplements aimed at combating the condition of "adrenal insufficiency".
