Calcium Crystals Plus Drink Mix -
7 oz, (Nature's Answer)
Calcium is essential for life, and is the most abundant mineral in the human body. It is well-recognized for its importance in the development of bones and teeth, but has many other functions as well. Calcium acts as a “pump” regulation mechanism that escorts nutrients and waste products in and out of cells through their membranes. It is also involved in nerve transmissions and muscle contractions (including the heart muscle).
The best natural sources of Calcium include whole grains, beans, nuts and especially dark green leafy vegetables, such as kale. Corn tortillas, almonds, sesame seeds and watercress are also excellent sources of Calcium. Milk and dairy products contain a lot of calcium, but the absorption of calcium from dairy by the body can be slow due to the high amount of protein in these foods.
Calcium & Osteoporosis: Between 26 and 38 million people in the United States are at high risk for developing osteoporosis, even though the U.S. has the highest per capita dairy consumption! Although 80% of those diagnosed with osteoporosis are women, men can suffer from this debilitating condition as well. Men begin to experience bone loss at the age of 65 to 70; women, however, lose bone more rapidly after reaching menopause. Osteoporosis occurs when this bone loss becomes severe.
Calcium has been shown to play a significant role in promoting bone health. Research has shown it helps prevent the breakdown of bone tissue. In addition, calcium delivers beneficial support with premenstrual syndrome complaints (ie. bloating, weight gain, breast tenderness, headaches, muscle cramps and mood swings).
To maintain bone health, up to 1500 mg/day of Calcium is recommended (varies somewhat with age, weight, sex, etc.). Scientific studies have shown the role of calcium in preventing the breakdown of bone tissue. It is often difficult to get this amount through the diet. In order to maintain an adequate supply of calcium for all of its important jobs in the body, doctors often recommend that people use a calcium supplement. However, not everybody can take a supplement in a “pill” format.
Calcium Crystals Plus from Nature’s Answer is a tangy, sweet, lemon-lime Calcium crystal drink mix. It offers a simple, convenient and delicious way to get the Calcium the body needs in a fast-acting liquid form. Calcium Crystals Plus contains Calcium citrate, an easily absorbed form of calcium, which is gentle on the stomach. It is further fortified with key nutrients recommended for maintaining good bone health and reducing the onset of osteoporosis, including Magnesium, Vitamins C and D and Ipriflavone. Together, they work in synergy to deliver the nutritional support your bones need to maintain bone mass, reduce bone loss and promote overall bone health. In addition, these essential nutrients help insure rapid and complete absorption of calcium by the body.
Key Ingredients:- Nature’s Answer researched the many forms of calcium available and found that Calcium citrate is better absorbed than Calcium carbonate (the kind of Calcium often used in antacid tablets). Furthermore, studies demonstrated that supplementation with Calcium citrate provided more beneficial results than Calcium Gluconate and Tricalcium Phosphate. Calcium citrate is less likely to cause “gas” or stomach upset, which can occur with other calcium forms.Magnesium - The second most common mineral in the body (after Calcium) is Magnesium. It is important for many metabolic processes, including building bone, and is essential for promoting calcium absorption. Magnesium citrate, found in Calcium Crystals Plus, is a high quality form of Magnesium, and has less of a laxative effect than other forms, such as Magnesium oxide. Vitamin C - A major antioxidant nutrient, Vitamin C supports the immune system. It is essential for the formation of collagen, the “glue” that holds the body together. Vitamin C helps to create an acidic medium, which h increases the absorption of Calcium citrate. Vitamin D - Vitamin D is produced by the body through the activity of the sun; hence the name, the “sunshine vitamin”. It is essential for the formation of bone tissue. Vitamin D deficiency is common among people in northern latitudes, the elderly, and others who don’t regularly get enough sun exposure. Vitamin D-3, the form used in Calcium Crystals Plus most closely matches natural Vitamin D formed by the body. Ipriflavone - This nutrient has been extensively studied with respect to bone metabolism, or more specifically, osteoporosis. It is a compound derived from soy, which has been shown to be useful, along with Calcium, in inhibiting the breakdown of bone tissue in the body, especially in women who are postmenopausal, the most common group to develop osteoporosis. Stevia - Stevia is a plant whose leaves are used by herbalists to impart a sweet flavor. Stevia has no calories and does not adversely affect blood sugar. It is also free of the harmful effects that are associated with artificial sweeteners.

What is the difference between a fluid extract and a tincture?
A fluid extract is an extract with an herb to menstruum ratio of (1:1). This means that you get 1 gram of herb for 1 ml of extract. A tincture is an extract with an herb to menstruum ratio of (1:2), (1:4), (1:5) or (1:10). This means that to get the same 1 gram of herb you must take either 2, 4, 5, or 10 milliliters of extract (respectively).
How do you know what a milliliter is?
Usually a milliliter is approximately 28 drops of an extract, but since this is a commonly asked question, Natures Answer has answered this question by using calibrated droppers that show exactly how much extract you are taking.
Which is a better form of taking herbs, liquid or capsules?
Herbs can be used in both the liquid and capsule form depending on your personal preference. Liquids are more easily absorbed and are perfect for people who have trouble swallowing pills, such as children and the elderly. Unlike other liquid brands, Nature's Answer is alcohol free or very low in alcohol (12-14%). Capsules may be preferable because using them avoids the bitter and unpleasant taste of some herbs, and they can be packed in a pill case for ease of dosing, convenient for the supplement user on the go.
Why do extracts have alcohol in them?
In order to extract plant constituents most effectively, it is necessary to use alcohol. Alcohol is used because (a) it is the strongest solvent we know of that can extract a major portion of the plant constituents without harming its properties and (b) it is ingestible. (As a point of interest, Nature’s Answer uses only certified organic alcohol in their extracts).
What is the benefit of using an alcohol-free extract?
Firstly, many people simply do not like to use alcohol as they strive towards healthier living. Others may not use alcohol for religious reasons, because they are in recovery or are pregnant or nursing. Furthermore, alcohol is not for children. These products address all those concerns.
Secondly, and most importantly, alcohol-free extracts allow you to taste the plant, not the alcohol! This taste is extremely important in that it gets your body ready to receive the gifts that the plant has to offer. Tasting the herb is part of the overall herbal experience and healing process. Alcohol-free extracts enable you to truly appreciate all of the plant's gifts.
If alcohol is needed in extraction, how do you make an alcohol- free extract?
Nature’s Answer begins with organic alcohol regardless of whether the final product contains alcohol or not. After finishing the first step in the plant extraction, we perform an additional step to remove the alcohol. This is done by utilizing a proprietary cold extraction process called Bio-Chelation. Bio-Chelation describes the cold process vacuum distillation method, which removes all the alcohol initially used to obtain the good herbal extract.
It is important to note that a cold extraction process, as opposed to a heat extraction process, helps maintain the full spectrum, or Holistic BalanceT of the plant's constituents in the final product. The end-result is an alcohol-free extract containing the essential properties of the complete herb in a base of vegetable glycerin and water. (Vegetable glycerin is used because it can help to bind certain plant constituents, is natural to the body, easily absorbed, tastes sweet without affecting blood sugar levels, and acts as a good solvent and carrier for the plant constituents).
Are your herbs organic?
This is a good question. Nature’s Answer uses three types of herbs in their formulations…Certified Organic, Responsibly Wildcrafted, or Cultivated. Our certified organic herbs come from a variety of organic farms located throughout the United States. Many of our formulas also feature Responsibly Wildcrafted herbs. Responsibly wildcrafted herbs are those picked in a responsible manner, whereby no plant will be over picked and therefore, be a risk to the existence of the species.
They are picked in their natural environment at optimal times for harvesting, and have not been exposed to any sprays or fertilizers. These plants are also considered organic; however since they are not “certified”, they are referred to as wildcrafted herbs. Cultivated plants are grown without the use of chemicals or pesticides but are not certified organic and therefore, cannot be called organic. Ultimately, no matter the source of our herbs, all are fully tested for microbes, chemicals and residues … contaminents that could compromise the quality of the herb.
Is it safe to take herbs with my medications?
Most times it is safe to take herbal supplements from high-quality, reputable manufacturers along with doctor prescribed medications. It is important, however, to know that many herbs will enhance or facilitate the actions of the medications you are taking, so you should leave a few hours between taking an herb and a medicine. While most herbs don't react negatively to medicines, it is of utmost importance to first check with your healthcare practitioner before beginning any nutritional supplement program, and ALWAYS tell your practitioner if you are taking anything in addition to what they have prescribed.
Can I take all my herbs at the same time?
This is a tough question to answer, as it depends on the types of herbs you are taking, the reasons you are taking them and your overall body. It is okay to take tonic herbs together, meaning those gentle herbs that have a strengthening action to the body. If you are using herbs for acute conditions, it is best to take them separately from your other herbs.
I catch every cold that comes around my office; what can I take to keep me healthier?
The best approach to take is to use tonic herbs that will build your immune system, rather than relying on Echinacea every time you get a cold. The best herbs to take to strengthen and support the immune system are Astragalus, Reishi (or any of the medicinal mushrooms like Maitake or Shiitake) or any of the Ginseng herbs, to name a few. These herbs are ideal for overall natural protection.
