Did you know that calcium is the most common mineral in the human body? About 99% of the calcium in your body is in your bones and teeth. The remaining one percent is found in your blood and soft tissue. But the one percent found in your blood and fluid surrounding the cells (extracellular fluid) must be maintained within a very narrow range to maintain normal body functions otherwise, the body will demineralize or remove bone to maintain normal blood calcium levels! Therefore it is vital that you maintain adequate levels of calcium in your system and why doctors recommend a calcium supplement each day.Calcium plays an essential role in the human body. It forms the main structural element in your bones, and your bones also act as a calcium reservoir. You body uses this reservoir to maintain blood calcium at stable levels. Your body requires your blood calcium levels to be maintained because of the diversity of roles calcium plays in cells, including:

• muscle contraction,
• nerve transmission,
• blood clotting, and
• enzyme reactions.

Minerals are inorganic substances found in many of the foods we eat. Minerals are just as vital to good health as vitamins and protein. They are typically trace elements that are found in the soil where much of our produce grows. Minerals play an important part in many of our bodily functions, including growth, repair, and immunity. Minerals are elements like magnesium, phosphate, iron, and calcium that your body needs to perform many life sustaining functions.

There are a handful of vitamins and nutrients the body needs each day, in order to stay healthy and function on a regular basis. They help to provide various organs with what they need to perform their primary function, and also help to fight off disease and other factors that can cause the body to malfunction. Calcium is one of the most important minerals that must be included in the human body, since it helps to promote bone health, promotes healthy circulation, and is even important for various muscle groups in the body.

There are several types of soluble calcium supplement available, but the very best also include magnesium and Vitamin D. The reason is that Calcium is not naturally absorbed into the body, and without the magnesium and Vitamin D, the calcium supplement would simply pass through your digestive system.

Remember that if magnesium and Vitamin D are not included in your supplement, then you would have to take them separately for the calcium to be effective.

Liquid supplements in general have advantages of pills and capsules in that the active ingredients are much more easily absorbed by the body, and also cause fewer digestion problems. Take capsules for example. Normally made from gelatine, they are not vegetarian friendly, and can partially dissolve in the stomach to form a tough gluey mass that retards the assimilation of the supplement into the body.It is well known that liquids are the best form of medicine or supplement, which is why so much effort and money has been expended over the years in developing soluble versions of simple medications such as aspirin, paracetamol and even protein supplements. If you have the choice between a solid or a liquid form of any particular substance that has to be ingested into the body to be effective, then the soluble version wins every time unless a form of prolonged release is necessary.

The word “pain” comes from Latin poena - meaning a fine or a penalty.  You can think about pain as the primary way your body tells you that something is wrong and needs your attention.  I’ve read somewhere that you can think about the word pain as an acronym.

Essential Fatty Acids, abbreviated EFA’s, are considered the building blocks of our cells.  EFA’s are used by every cell in our body to create and maintain the cell walls (membranes).  The term ‘essential’ means that our bodies do not produce these acids and therefore we must consume them in the foods we eat.  So how do we get them into our bodies?
