Cal Apatite Forte by Metagenics is perfect for those who need extra calcium, but prefer swallowing capsules over tablets. 

Vitamin D (as cholecalciferol)

Vitamin D is mainly responsible for maintaining normal blood levels of phosphorous and calcium – two minerals that are essential to maintain bone health. Vitamin D works by helping the body absorb calcium in order to help form and maintain healthy bones. It can be used alone, or in combination with calcium (as in this supplement) to increase bone mineral density and reduce the risk of bone fractures. Recent research suggests that vitamin D may also protect the body from hypertension, cancer and autoimmune diseases in addition to its role in preventing osteoporosis.

Calcium (as MCHC)

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, so it is essential to maintain adequate levels. It is impossible for the blood to become deficient in calcium because that would result in a dire health emergency. The body avoids such a catastrophe by stealing calcium from the bones to maintain adequate levels in the blood, muscles and intercellular fluids. This is the main reason that a calcium deficiency is most often related to weakening of the bones.

It is found in some foods naturally and it’s also added to other fortified foods (such as cereals and milks), and it is also available as a dietary supplement on its own or in combination with other bone strengthening vitamins and minerals – as is the case with Cal Apetite Forte.

Calcium plays an integral role in muscle function, interacellular signaling and hormone secretion, and vascular contraction and vasodilation. Even though less than 1 percent of the recommended daily value is required for these functions, that small amount of calcium is crucial to their function.

Phosphorus (as MCHC)

Phosphorus is among the most abundant minerals in the body; second only to calcium. Both nutrients work together to help the body build strong teeth and bones. Nearly 85 percent of phosphorus is found n the teeth and bones, but you can also find phosphorus in tissues and cells throughout the body. This essential mineral helps the body filter out waste within the kidneys, and it also plays a vital role in the body’s energy storage and use. Supplementing with phosphorus can also help reduce muscle pain and feelings of fatigue after a tough workout. It is essential for so many bodily functions, including producing genetic building blocks (DNA and RNA), and growing, maintaining and repairing all tissues and cells.
