Benefits of taking Ostate (Calcium Hydroxyapatite)

Most people have either heard or read about the importance of calcium. It is likely that calcium is perhaps the most well known and most commonly taken supplements. In fact, as a society we may actually over-emphasize calcium. This topic is discussed in more detail in the osteoporosis section. The main point to appreciate here is that a calcium supplement is not a magic bullet. Calcium needs to considered in the context of diet and other supplements.

As you read in the magnesium supplement section, nearly all adult Americans are likely to be deficient in magnesium and vitamin D. This means that supplementation with calcium without magnesium and vitamin D is not the best choice we can make. All three should be taken.

At deflame.com, we offer Osatate, which is a microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHC) supplement. MCHC is derived from whole bone and contains an organic and inorganic component. The organic component consists of collagen, glycosaminoglycans, peptides, and growth factors for bone. The inorganic component contains predominately calcium and phosphorus. Research suggests that MCHC is the best source for calcium to help maintain normal bone density (1-4).
