The right calcium supplement accounts for the calcium you're already getting from food— without over delivering. Bone Strength Take Care plant calcium is perfect for this, providing a fine-tuned amount of bone-supportive calcium to fill nutritional gaps and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Calcium in Non-Dairy Foods Dairy products are a good source of calcium, sure. But did you know that about 65% of adults in the world have lactose intolerance? This means many of us do not digest milk or dairy products well—so we can't comfortably rely on milk products for dietary calcium. In addition, some people follow vegan, plant-based diets, so would not be getting calcium from dairy. Fortunately, calcium is present in many non-dairy foods such as dark leafy greens, legumes, fish with bones, as well as calcium-fortified juice or cereal. Here are some examples of calcium levels in these foods. Sustainable Sourcing of Plant-Based Calcium New Chapter is a Certified B Corporation , meaning we meet the highest standards for social and environmental impact. Part of our mission has always been to nurture and sustain Mother Earth, the source of natural healing. Because plant calcium is a whole food, it can be sourced sustainably, which is crucial for our promise to uphold a supply chain that is socially responsible and environmentally sound. We know our suppliers and the origins of their plant harvest—the Red Marine Algae (Lithothamnion) grows in the pristine waters off the coast of Iceland. It is allowed to mature naturally, then harvested from its marine habitat while leaving the young, living plants untouched. Utilizing calcium from plants, not rocks, lets us deliver the quality you expect with responsibly wild-crafted, whole-food Calcium. No limestone, no animal bone, no subpar ingredients—just pure, bone-strengthening calcium that your body can recognize as food. Is Plant-Based Calcium Better Than Other Types? Calcium carbonate that is not from plants is typically derived from limestone rock (essentially chalk) and it has a flat, basic architecture that lacks other bone-supportive nutrients. Plant calcium is different. It's complex and porous, containing an intricate matrix of minerals in a natural honeycomb structure. It supports bone health holistically, with whole- food Calcium, Magnesium, and 70 important trace minerals (also including Strontium and Silica). Another cool fact about Lithothamnion is that it's been clinically studied for other benefits in addition to bone support. Bone Strength Take Care's plant-sourced Calcium, Magnesium, and multiple trace minerals have been shown to support movement, joint flexibility, and joint function. Maintaining aspects of bone and joint health daily can pay off, supporting mobility for better quality of life. The very basis of mobility is joint flexibility—a healthy range of motion in the places where muscle, connective tissue, and bones meet. From the hard-working knee to the intricately articulated finger, joints are complex intersections of structure and function that can be affected by *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Bone Strength Take Care's whole-food nutrients can help maintain joint health, and even be a holistic alternative or addition to glucosamine. How to Maximize Absorption of Calcium Potentially as important as the source of calcium is whether it's formulated for your body to really absorb. The addition of Vitamins D3 and K2 help your body maximize absorption of the calcium and direct it to the bones where it's supposed to be. So how do you choose the most absorbable calcium? By making sure you're choosing a calcium-vitamin blend that also includes K2 and D3. Bone Strength Take Care is formulated with an exclusive blend of Vitamins K2 and D3 designed to help your body absorb Calcium properly. Our food-sourced Vitamin K2 helps direct Calcium into your bones, where you need it.* Vitamin K2 also functions to help maintain artery health.* Our fermented Vitamin D3 helps the body to effectively use Calcium to promote normal bone creation and mineralization.* Think of Calcium as the bricks, and Vitamins K2 and D3 as the mortar. It's ideal to have them together—as in Bone Strength Take Care. Should You Take a Calcium Supplement? You may wish to add a calcium supplement to your daily routine to be sure you're getting this key mineral in a formula that's crafted for maximum absorption. Delivered in an easy-to- swallow slim tablet, Bone Strength Take Care's holistic calcium formula offers a slow, steady release for the body's consistent nourishment. This hard-working calcium supplement delivers 3 complete benefits: 1. Bone Strength Support. Calcium helps reduce osteoporosis risk† and supports bone strength and bone mineral density. 2. Joint Health Support. Our clinical strength calcium complex has been shown to support movement, joint flexibility, and joint function. 3. Heart Health Support. Maintains artery health with Vitamin K2 and supports cardiovascular health with Vitamin D3 (according to emerging studies). Is 'Too Much Calcium' A Problem? Calcium is important, but excess doses of calcium are not recommended. As noted above, the right calcium supplement accounts for calcium you're already getting from food (which is recommended to be around 1000-1200 mg a day for adults). You don't need more than that on a regular basis. The Bottom Line Our bodies understand and seek whole-food sources of nutrition. New Chapter Bone Strength Take Care is formulated with a wild, whole-food plant source that is rich in available calcium, along with magnesium and 70 other important trace minerals. We add an exclusive blend of Vitamins K2 and D3 to ensure the body absorbs the plant-based calcium properly and effectively.
