Product Description

Calcium Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite supplies 500 mg of elemental calcium from 2,000 mg of microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHC), a bioavailable source of calcium derived from whole bone.

FUNCTIONS AND MECHANISM OF ACTION
Hydroxyapatite is made of two constituents, the micronutrients calcium and phosphorus, and is the bone
mineral that strengthens the organic matrix to support bone-forming and bone-resorbing cell activity. Calcium
from microcrystalline hydroxyapatite provides a source of calcium to support bone mineral composition. In
addition, calcium is essential to maintain and perform cellular signaling in many physiological functions,
including muscle contraction, neuronal excitability and cell growth. Phosphorus is stored in the bone as
hydroxyapatite or distributed in soft tissues. It is involved in osteocyte maturation, the most abundant cells in
bone, and mediates many biological processes including energy metabolism, nucleic acid maintenance and
phosphorylation/dephosphorylation protein regulation.
