If you take calcium supplements than you should be aware of a recent issue of Science News (May 23, 2012 issue) which cites that five different calcium research studies clearly show the parallel between increased calcium supplementation and the dramatic rise in female heart attacks.

The biological pathways of calcium metabolism have been known since the early 1980\’s. And yet probably 90% off all calcium supplements manufactured ignore this biological truth. “If calcium is consumed without significant amounts of magnesium, the calcium will be deposited on the soft tissues of the body and not into the bone matrix”. So these calcium products will not improve your skeletal integrity in the slightest, and as Science News correctly reports could very possibly leave you in the emergency room with a heart attack.

Back in the late 1970\’s, researchers noted that cultures without a history of skeletal diseases and very low incidents of cardiovascular diseases ate diets where the amount of dietary magnesium always exceeded calcium. In our culture, the opposite is true. We eat diets where calcium dominates magnesium by at least 2:1 and hence degenerative skeletal disease affects 80% of all Americans over the age of 65 and cardiovascular disease is our number one killer.

Doctor Guy Abraham, MD brilliantly examined the biological pathways of calcium/magnesium metabolism and published his article “The Calcium Controversy” in the Journal of Applied Nutrition in November of 1982. In this landmark report, Dr. Abraham states that the cellular uptake of calcium is dependent on two hormones; parathyroid hormone (PHT) and calcitonin (CT). PHT increases the bone resorption by stimulating osteoclasts thereby removing calcium from the bone and PHT favors the uptake of calcium into soft tissue (like heart muscles). By contrast, CT increases the deposit of calcium in the bone matrix and blocks cellular uptake of calcium in soft tissue. Magnesium stimulates the production of CT, while it suppresses the production of PHT.

So it is clear that if your calcium supplement does not have the necessary levels of magnesium you are not preventing degenerative skeletal diseases and you are creating the conditions for a heart attack or a myriad of other degenerative diseases involving the hardening of soft tissue. At Harmonic Innerprizes we have been aware of this research and have always made calcium supplements designed to strengthen bones and not calcify your soft tissue. Here is a list of ingredients that must be present in any calcium formula for calcium to be delivered into the bone matrix.

1. Magnesium must dominate calcium, even if it is as little as 10% – 20%.

2. Vitamin D3 is important because it helps regulate calcium serum levels in the body. Must have at least 1,000 IUs.

3. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) provides additional assurances that calcium is not deposited on soft tissue.

4. Organic silica is the most important trace element to build strong bones. It also strengthens all connective tissue and promotes healthy skin.

If any of these nutritional components are missing from your calcium supplement, you are significantly compromising your health, despite what your doctor might tell you.
