February 1,2010 – A recent report in the medical journal Osteoporosis International found that women taking a Japanese calcium called AAACa had an impressive bone density increase among 32 different calcium clinical studies conducted between 1977 and 2008. The 32 studies involved 3,169 postmenopausal women, 79 skeletal measures and 7 different types of calcium, including dairy calcium.
The 2009 report entitled “The Effect of Calcium Supplementation on Bone Loss in 32 Controlled Trials in Postmenopausal Women” was authored by calcium researcher B.E.C.Nordin, MD of Australia.1 Nordin concluded that calcium intake generally prevented bone loss in postmenopausal women for at least four years. Results from the 32 studies showed a wide range of bone change from taking different calciums. Most only slowed the rate of bone loss. However, one study in which participants took AAACa calcium showed a marked 1.5% bone density increase per year, an impressive increase among among all 79 skeletal measures.
Results from this study dovetail with other published comparative calcium research. A 2007 meta-analysis in the journal, The Lancet, found that women taking AAACa calcium had a favorable fracture-risk change among 17 different calcium studies between 1992 and 2006. The 17 fracture studies involved men and women over 50, taking 6 different calciums either alone or with vitamin D over multiple years.2

AAACa, is a natural ionic calcium. It starts out as oyster shell, which is then smelted at 800° C. Smelting changes the chemical structure of oyster shell from calcium carbonate to calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide. The superheating process removes nearly all of the heavy metals, such as lead, found in oyster shell. the calcium is then potentiated with HAI™ (Heated Algal Ingredient). HAI is a patented amino acid complex from hijiki seaweed. Tiny amounts of HAI have been scientifically shown to further elevate calcium oxide & calcium hydroxide absorption.
“We are pleased but not surprised by AAACa’s top ranking in these studies” comments Andrew Lane” president of LaneLabs, Waldwick, NJ. LaneLabs sells AAACa calcium under the name AdvaCAL® , mainly in natural food stores. “AdvaCAL has shown impressive bone benefits in 20 published scientific studies. Leading researchers are starting to learn our little secret .”
