- Bone Health & Calcium: Plant vs. Rock?
Many people think that all calcium supplements are created equal. The truth is that the most common form of calcium supplement today is derived from limestone or rock. We don’t eat rocks as part of our balanced diet, so why would we choose to supplement our bone health nutritional needs with limestone?

Our bodies understand and seek whole food sources of nutrition. That’s why New Chapter formulated Bone Strength Take Care with a whole-food plant source of calcium, magnesium, and other important trace minerals.

The calcium complex in Bone Strength Take Care is derived from a specific plant form called Lithothamnion Calcareum, sustainably harvested from pristine shores along the Icelandic coastline. Much like organic vegetables, this sea plant is allowed to mature naturally and then sustainably harvested to deliver its optimal nutritional value.

Calcium must be completely dissolved in order to be absorbed. The plant-based calcium found in Bone Strength Take Care grows in a honeycomb structure and is extremely porous, which dramatically increases the calcium’s surface area. Stomach acid can then come into greater contact with the calcium, making it easy to dissolve. Calcium carbonate sourced from limestone has a much smaller, rocky surface area and is more difficult to dissolve.

- The Calcium Paradox: Concerns with Heart Health
According to the National Institutes of Health, many people don’t get enough calcium from their diet, suggesting supplementation as an alternative to meet their daily required intake. Despite this dietary deficit, emerging research suggests that isolated calcium supplementation can increase cardiovascular risk.

Calcium supplementation alone is risky because calcium requires other nutrients to be properly utilized. The “calcium paradox” holds that without adequate Vitamin K, calcium will not be deposited in the bones where it is required for maintaining bone strength, but rather in the arteries and soft tissues where it can cause stiffening. It is therefore crucial that an effective bone health supplement be formulated with the necessary nutrients and minerals to ensure the optimal utilization of calcium.

The body’s inflammation response is a natural process—part of your body doing its job. There’s an inflammation response we can feel, like in the neck, back, or joints after exercise.

The Benefits of Fish Oil with Whole Omega Fatty Acids
Wholemega packs a full complement of 17 whole Omegas, including Omega 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9’s. Omegas include fatty acids often referred to as “good fats.” Why so good? Primarily because omegas are present and play an important role in many human cells. Specifically, omega fatty acids serve to nourish brain, heart, and eye tissues.  Fish oil is an excellent source of Omega-­‐3s and salmon is relatively high in Omega-­‐3 fatty acids compared to other seafood.

Wholemega Whole Fish Oil supplement delivers the natural profile of 17 omega fatty acids found in one of Nature’s true superfoods: Wild Alaskan Salmon. In fact, taking the daily serving of Wholemega for a week provides the same amount of whole omega fatty acids as three servings of Wild Alaskan Salmon.

Wholemega Fish Oil is Different
The dull, yellow color of many other fish oils is symbolic of processed products. If you want what nature intended, the difference is clear. Wholemega fish oil is different. The extra-virgin process used to extract Wholemega, similar to that used in fine olive oil, delivers an oil that is striking in color and transparency. This gentle, food-grade process preserves numerous beneficial compounds — including Vitamin D3 and Astaxanthin. The brilliant hue in Wholemega’s fish oil comes from Astaxanthin — an antioxidant that is naturally found in Wild Salmon and in this extra-virgin fish oil supplement.

Food Supplement or “Supplemental Food”?
Our philosophy on nutrition is simple; seek the benefits of whole food. While others create food supplements, New Chapter strives to deliver Supplemental Food. Wholemega continues this tradition in fish oil with its 100% Wild Alaskan Salmon oil. Alaska maintains one of the world’s most highly protected and sustainably managed natural fisheries. By using only wild, sustainably caught Alaskan salmon – among the most pure fish stocks in the world – chemical processing to deliver purity is not required. Our extra virgin, low-­‐heat process is all that’s needed to deliver Nature’s whole basket of vital omega fatty acids and naturally beneficial nutrients, like Vitamin D3 and Astaxanthin.
