Importance of Other Vitamins and Minerals

Some of the vitamins and minerals included in the BTB Vitamins formula are there to help with the body’s absorption and utilization of calcium, although they also have other key health benefits. Some of the vitamins and minerals are there to ensure a total body health solution so you don’t have to take your cheap daily multivitamins anymore. The total result is maximum calcium in an effective daily multivitamin.

The chart below summarizes the ingredients of the formula and their importance:

This report is based on the many years of documentation and research that vitamins and minerals play in the human body.

The research came from many published documents, research scientists, and universities all over the world.

Vitamins and minerals are essential to life. They are vital in the process of breaking down digested food so that it is usable energy for each cell of the body. Some vitamins cannot be stored and must be replenished daily. Minerals are primarily stored in bone and muscle tissue. Research has shown that there needs to be a balance of vitamins and minerals. Taking for instance, a large dose of one "B" vitamin may cause a deficiency in another "B" vitamin; the same rule is true of minerals. Vitamins and minerals produce a synergistic effect. That is they increase the positive effect that each one has alone. The formula that I have designed follows todays research.

Why is calcium important?

Calcium is one of the most significant minerals in the American diet. From the research, calcium is vital in the formation of bones and teeth. Bones are constantly breaking down and being reformed, so the need is constantly there. Reports of studies show alarming results; the average American diet is estimated to be 25% deficient in calcium. As much as 50% of all American women show some signs of osteoporosis by the age of 45. The number is much higher at the age of 70. Reports show children ages 9-18 need at least 1300 mg, adults ages 19-50 need 1000 mg and adults 51+ need 1200 mg per day.

Why are our diets so deficient today?

Calcium absorption and utilization is diminished by over cooking foods, canning, the processing of foods, smoking, alcohol consumption, caffeine in foods, junk foods, soft drinks, medications, radiation, chemotherapy, low intake of foods, lack of exercise, diets that are high in fat, sugars, excess salt and white flour. Our body will take what calcium it needs from the bones and teeth. We store 99% of our calcium in our bones and teeth.

What else does calcium do?

Besides building strong bones and teeth, calcium is necessary for the muscular contractions of the body, our nerve impulse transmissions, heart muscle, heartbeat, cell permeability, blood clotting, energy, protein structuring of our "rna" and "dna"; it helps to break down the fats in our body, it is necessary for healthy teeth, gums, nails and hair. Calcium aids in the prevention of muscle cramps, can improve grinding of the teeth, muscle growth, bone density, can reduce high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis, aching joints, it enhances sleep at night, helps prevent cancer, as well as protects the bones and teeth from absorption of lead. In children, it not only aids in their growth and development but can help prevent preclampsia during pregnancy. Calcium aids in the lowering of cholesterol and the health of our skin.

What’s wrong with existing calcium formulas?

Most formulas use calcium carbonate, which is not easily absorbed. Calcium carbonate will not dissolve in the mouth to help the teeth or oral tissues and will not be absorbed unless there is food present in the stomach. My formula is chewable to provide direct help to the mouth and teeth. It is therefore broken down, swallowed and can be absorbed directly with or without food.

Today’s research shows a variety of vitamins, minerals and amino acids that are necessary for the proper absorption of calcium into the cell. Again, the bones are constantly being broken down and reformed. Therefore, cell permeability, transfer, apposition, or usage by the bones, teeth and joints for replacement is dependant upon these many elements for the enhanced absorption and utilization by the body. None of these other calcium formulas contain all of these nutrients and in the recommended amounts. These nutrients are also vital for energy and health of all cells of the body.

Nutrients that make up this formula and how they are used each nutrient in this formula helps with the absorption and utilization of calcium:

• Magnesium---necessary in calcium and potassium uptake and energy production
• Boron--- improves calcium absorption
• Zinc---important for calcium uptake, immune function and proper bone maintenance
• Phosphorus---needed for bone and tooth formation, as well as the proper balance of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus; necessary for the best utilization, it is also essential for the mineralization of bones and teeth
• Potassium---cell membrane transfer of nutrients, healthy nervous system, regular heart beat, normal blood pressure.
• Lysine---aids calcium absorption and connective tissue strength
• Vitamin K---essential for bone formation and repair. Is also necessary for blood clotting
• Biotin---aids in metabolism and utilization of b complex vitamins
• Soy Isoflavones---strengthens bone building cells and diminishes bone destroying cells
• Ipriflavones---stimulates "osteoblast" bone building cells
• Manganese---important in calcium uptake and correct function of osteoblast (bone building cells)
• Copper---aids in the formation of bone
• Selenium---vital antioxidant, acts with vitamin "e" in production of antibodies and maintaining a healthy heart and liver as well as tissue elasticity
• Silica---good for calcium uptake and the synthesis of collagen
• Vanadium---formation of bones, teeth, growth and reproduction
• Vitamin D---absorption of calcium
• Vitamin E---aids in the use of vitamin "a" and a vital antioxidant necessary for tissue repair
• Vitamin C---important for collagen and connective tissue formation as well as healthy gums
• Bioflavonoids---essential for the absorption of vitamin"c"
• Soy Isoflavonoids---promotes bone mass and protects antioxidant vitamins from oxidative damage
• Vitamin A---retards the aging process, maintenance and repair of epithelial tissue and is important for bone formation
• Vitamin B---enhances circulation and is important for digestion
• Vitamin B-2---riboflavin, necessary for red blood formation, antibody production and cell respiration and growth
• Vitamin B-3---niacin, necessary for proper circulation, the functioning of the nervous system, metabolism and digestion
• Vitamin B-5---anti stress vitamin, aids in the vitamin utilization, energy production and the production of neurotransmitters
• Folate---folic acid, brain food, needed for energy and formation of red blood cells and white blood cells. Also cell division and replication
• Vitamin B-6---pyridoxine, important in most of the body functions, especially in mental and physical health
• Vitamin B-12---needed to prevent anemia, proper digestion, the absorption of foods, the synthesis of protein and metabolism, also provides strength to protein in the bone tissue

In addition to all the benefits previously described, these nutrients are essential to human life and good health and many cannot be stored for future use, so we must constantly replenish them. If we do not replenish, then those that are stored in the bones, teeth and muscle tissue are slowly depleted. The process of robbing these tissues may greatly hasten the aging process and produce poor health, lack of vitality, and cause lack of energy for everyday life. The additional benefits of these nutrients to those already named are too many to list, but here are just a few:

• Provides energy helping to prevent fatigue, protects the immune system against colds and flu and guards against infections as well as helping to prevent cancer.
• These nutrients are helpful for maintaining good mental health, dealing with stress, prevention of memory loss and Alzheimer's disease as well as insomnia.
• They guard against infection in our organs such as the heart by helping to prevent heart disease and the build up of bad cholesterol. They protect us against the toxin "homocystin", a chemical which attacks the heart and allows deposits of cholesterol around the heart. They aid in the lubrication of our joints, preventing glucose intolerance and the prevention of abscess. The skin, age spots, acne and aiding the formation of skin proteins. They will help prevent night blindness, cataracts and aid in the overall health of our eyes. Proper nutrients will help heal ulcers and prevent diarrhea. They aid in the tasting of our foods and the prevention of a sore tongue. A few of the other things that they aid us in is blood clotting, aids in the prevention of salt retention, edema, headaches, strokes, synthesis of sex hormones and reproduction, regulation of muscle tone and the composition of body fluids, unwanted weight loss and unhealthy weight gain. They are essential in the utilization of many other vitamins and minerals, the synergistic activity of all nutrients, the absorption and prevention of cell damage and cell permeability. They are a vital catalyst for enzyme activity, oxidation and metabolism.

Again, this is only a sample of what this formula does for your body, health and future. It would be wonderful if we could get these nutrients strictly through our diet, but as we have previously shown, this is highly unlikely or totally impossible. We designed this formula in a way that it will be highly absorbable and cause minimal stomach distress.
