An increasing volume of research has brought a shift in the perception that equates calcium lone to bone health, by highlighting the importance of vitamin c, vitamin D3, vitamin K2-7 and minerals like phosphorus and magnesium. Consuming plain calcium supplements is not only ineffective it is also dangerous; specifically for your cardiovascular health.

It is also well established that most commercial calcium supplementation taken singularly do more harm than good. A balance of composition is essential for optimum bone health.

Thus, Unived’s Cal Dveg contains a balances dosage of all the elements necessary for your bones including 500mg algae calcium, 82mg magnesium from algae magnesium and sea minerals, 80mg vitamin C, 600 I.U. plant based vitamin D3 and 50mcg vitamin K2-7 and other trace minerals.

Compared to other calcium supplements, CalDveg is a vegan calcium source that is more bio-available and made for maximum absorption and utilization. The body is able to utilize over 80% of the useful minerals as compared with extremely low utilization (less than 10%) in case of synthetic minerals contained in popular supplements with calcium carbonate and calcium citrate.

Mode of Action:

Algae calcium + Vitamin C + Vitamin D3 + Vitamin K2-7 + Magnesium

• Increases the production of Osteocalcin bu the Osteobalsts (bone forming cells).

• Is necessary to activate Osteocakcin – the protein that binds calcium effectively to the bone.

• Inhibits the production of osteoclasts (bone-destroying cells).

• Effectively brings about calcium deposition on the bone.

• Aids in collagen formation and bone density.
