B. Why is EZorb Calcium superior to calcium from  inorganic sources?

In contrast to technologically sophisticated process that produces EZorb Calcium, common inorganic substances used in majority of supplements today are minerals that commonly occur in nature in the form of reefs, rocks, or limestone deposits.

EZorb Calcium is formed of l-aspartic acid chelates of calcium (also referred to as anhydrous calcium aspartate). According to leading nutritionsists, the constituents of Ezorb Calcium are worlds apart from inorganic calcium supplements.

First of all, EZorb Calcium is substantially more bioavailable than inorganic minerals. In order for calcium supplements to be absorbed by body, they have to be soluble in the luminal fluid of the small intestine. The pH of the small intestinal fluid below the duodenum is 7.0-7.2. Inorganic calcium supplements will form insoluble hydroxides and become nonabsorbable in this pH range. EZorb Calcium, on the other hand, is well shielded by l-aspartic acids and will not precipitate. As a result, EZorb Calcium commands an unmatched 92% absorption rate, 3-9 times higher than that of calcium carbonate or calcium citrate.

Second, EZorb is the only supplement that increases bone density by stimulating osteoblast activities and enhancing collagen production.

Third, EZorb Calcium also prevents gastrointestinal (G.I.) distress. Inorganic calcium supplements can precipitate magma, which can coat mucous membranes, resulting in diarrhea or constipation. Anhydrous calcium aspartate, however, does not contribute to magma precipitation, does not cause stomach discomfort, and does not promote formation of stones in the small intestine or kidney.

In addition, many compounds commonly found in foods, such as carbonates, phosphates, oxalates and phytates, attach themselves to inorganic calcium to form insoluble precipitates, which further reduce the absorption of calcium in the small intestine. EZorb Calcium maintains its chemical integrity against the onslaught of these compounds and remains bioavailable.

Finally, inorganic calcium may serve as a catalyst to further the oxidation and degradation of vitamins. On the other hand, chelated calcium, a constituent of EZorb, is well shielded by bonded organic ligands and will not come in contact with vitamin molecules, thus protecting vitamins from oxidation and degradation. And, since it does not contribute to magma precipitation, EZorb Calcium will not absorb vitamins and render them useless as inorganic mineral calcium does.
