The mineral calcium helps build strong bones and teeth. and the body needs it for essential functions that involve communication between cells. hormones. muscles and the nervous system. When there is not enough calcium in the bloodstream. the body takes calcium from bone matter. which can cause weak. easily breakable bones. The Calcium MCHA supplement from Pure Encapsulations is unique in that it contains microcrystalline hydroxyapatite. This is a compound of calcium that makes up about 50 percent of bone mass and could be more effective in a supplement than taking calcium alone. The Pure Encapsulations formula of Calcium MCHA is derived from pesticide-free. pasture-fed cows in Australia and New Zealand. Some of the benefits of Calcium MCHA by Pure Encapsulations are:

• It contains residues of bone matrix and proteins.
• It may deliver natural ratios of nutrients.
• It contains glycosaminoglycans. which maintain and support bounce. collagen and elastin in cellular spaces.
• It could support bone mineral composition for a strong skeleton.
• It may reduce the risk of osteoporosis in older adults and postmenopausal women.
