Description
Product Overview
NOW Foods Calcium Hydroxyapatite is a dietary supplement in capsule form that delivers calcium in a natural and familiar mineral form for the body. Each jar contains 120 capsules, providing long-lasting use and good dosing flexibility. The production is carried out with care and is based on NOW Foods' extensive experience as a family-owned company since 1968, well known for its high quality standards and meticulous manufacturing processes. This supplement is based on microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHA), a form of calcium that not only contains calcium but also important minerals such as phosphorus and magnesium, as well as amino acids and protein naturally found in bone tissue. It is a product that stands out by offering a more holistic nutritional source than common calcium supplements.
Active Ingredients 26 Science
The main ingredient in this product is microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHA), a mineral form that constitutes a large part of the human natural bone structure. By delivering calcium in this form, it follows the body's own composition, which may facilitate absorption and utilisation. Each daily dose contains 500 mg elemental calcium and 200 mg phosphorus from the MCHA complex, in a naturally balanced combination that mimics the mineral matrix the body is accustomed to. Magnesium is also present in the complex in its natural form, as well as amino acids and protein important for bone tissue formation.
Benefits 26 Uses
- Suitable for those who want to supplement their calcium intake with a form close to the body’s natural bone structure.
- Appropriate for individuals needing mineral support in daily life, for example during an active lifestyle or increased skeletal load.
- An alternative for those who prefer calcium in a form that includes other important bone minerals and amino acids.
- Useful for those seeking a product made from carefully selected raw materials with high purity and quality.
- Can be a supplement during periods when the diet does not cover the need for calcium and phosphorus in the right proportion.
The product is well suited for everyday situations where a balanced intake of minerals is desirable, such as during physical activity, sedentary work requiring muscle and skeletal support, or for those wishing to maintain good mineral balance over time.
Usage 26 Dosage
The recommended dose is two capsules daily, preferably with a meal to facilitate absorption. The capsules can be swallowed with water and are easily absorbed thanks to the natural form of calcium. For best results, the product can be combined with other mineral and vitamin supplements such as vitamin D, which contributes to calcium metabolism, but it is always advisable to consult healthcare professionals if uncertain. Avoid taking doses higher than recommended, and store capsules in a dry, cool place.
Quality 26 Manufacturing
The product is manufactured under strict quality controls in the USA by NOW Foods, a family-owned company with over 50 years of experience in dietary supplements. The raw material hydroxyapatite comes from certified BSE-free Australian young cattle, ensuring a pure and safe base. Manufacturing follows GMP standards (Good Manufacturing Practice) and each batch is carefully tested for purity and content. The capsule shells are vegetable-based and free from common allergens, making the product suitable for many users. The packaging is designed to preserve the product’s stability and shelf life throughout the usage period.
