Nutri-West
Calac
Assimilable
Calcium and Magnesium
Features
-
Calcium
lactate and magnesium citrate in a ratio of 5:1, which helps to maintain the
biochemical equilibrium between calcium and magnesium.
-
Calcium
lactate is an alkalising form of calcium and may help reduce acidity and may
therefore be beneficial for the musculoskeletal system.
-
Calcium
lactate is a very well absorbed form of calcium.
-
Magnesium
is essential for many body processes including maintenance of muscle
tone.
-
Magnesium
citrate is a very well absorbed form of magnesium.
Each

Nutri-West
manufacturing is run and governed under the rules of the Federal Good
Manufacturing Practice Act (GMP) and as such is inspected regularly by the
American Food and Drug Administration.
Nutri-West
manufacturing received the FDA Blue Ribbon Award for Excellence.
All raw
materials used in the manufacturing of Nutri-West products are supported by a
certificate of analysis by the raw material manufacturer, which guarantees
potency (i.e. a pharmaceutical grade for vitamins and minerals and certified
grade for herbs). Certification of the herbs guarantees that the
pharmacologically active parts of the plants are used in Nutri-West products. At
regular random intervals, these samples are sent to independent laboratories for
analysis.
All
herbs and food concentrates used in Nutri-West products are certified
organically grown whenever available. All glandular sources are from certified
bovine sources. All nutrients are tested for heavy metal toxicity and
contamination by independent certified laboratories. No artificial
preservatives, colourings, additives, flavourings or stabilisers are used in
manufacturing. Nutri-West products are as hypoallergenic as possible.
Common allergy-reactive substances such as wheat, yeast and corn are avoided.
Minerals
Minerals are the inorganic elements which comprise part of the body. They
contribute from 60% to 80% of all the inorganic material in the human body. The
trace elements make up the remainder. Minerals and trace elements serve as vital
catalysts for the biological reactions that take place within the body. They are
found, for example, in bones, teeth and soft tissues. They are needed for the
production of blood, hormones and enzymes, thus serving a life sustaining
function.
The absorption of
minerals and trace elements (excluding electrolytes) is generally less efficient
than that of other nutrients. The term “bioavailability” refers to the
degree to which a particular nutrient is available for use in the body. There
are many factors which influence bioavailability including the compound form of
the mineral or trace element.
Calcium
is the most abundant mineral in the body. Its primary function – in
cooperation with phosphorus – is to help build and maintain bones and teeth.
Calcium aids the blood-clotting process and helps control the passage of fluids
through cells. Calcium is also is related to proper functioning of the heart and
neuromuscular system.
Magnesium
is involved in muscle contraction and nerve function. At least half of the
magnesium in the body is combined with calcium and phosphorus in bones. The
remainder is in soft tissues including red blood cells and muscles.
