Sea Calcium Product Focus Call

Linda Douglas – Sea Calcium

Nice advantages – Mineral matrix from the sea (sea plant vs. animal source [coral calcium]) 2:1 CA to Mg ratio (perfect ratio) Abundant in trace minerals, naturally concentrated by the sea plant, crucial for bone health All-vegetable nature of the product makes it vegetarian friendly, and bio-available Blended with a special type of fiber (short-chain FOS), a PREbiotic, that helps our body absorb it; this is a special selected food source for the good bacteria, which helps them grow and multiply (this increases the bioavailability of the minerals, improves your ability to absorb the calcium and magnesium from this product; enhances the body's immune system [nourishes the gut structures that are similar to the tonsils; promoted overall health and wellness by improving optimal condition for nutrient absorption Comes from off the coast of Ireland; it actually grows from the coast of Iceland southward, then pieces of plant break off and float down to the western coast of Ireland, where it is gathered; environmentally friendly Exclusive to NSP – no other company has this combination The company that goes and collects the material from the sea has exclusive rights (sourcing and health benefits)

What makes it work? Two scientifically researched ingredients that are very synergistic when combined, giving overall health performance and improved health support

Calcium: Helps the pH stay balanced and healthy bones In addition, when calcium is low in the diet, rates of high blood pressure and colon cancer rise Higher rates of obesity seem to be related to the lower level of minerals in the diet, particularly CA (overfed, but undernourished – must pay attention to mineral intake - contributing to Type 2 Diabetes, PCOS, Met Syndrome, etc., degenerative diseases relating to poor nutrition. Depression – need CA for nerves to transmit impulses, muscles can contract, heart beat properly

More about the plant itself: Grows for 4-5 years, and as this rigid seaweed gets too heavy, pieces break off, and fall out of ocean circulation onto a tremendous fossilized bed off the coast of Ireland. This has been used for centuries as a well-known remedy among the Irish people.

Why it is such an important product: Contains about 70 trace minerals – will highlight the ones specific to bone on this call Boron, zinc, selenium, copper (helps the body lay down the framework that the bone cells live in, collagen – a brittle bone is a weak bone that breaks very easily. Very important to have an array of trace minerals for good bone health. Very different from CA carbonate (chalky & rocky) - this looks open and airy. CA Carbonates are 100% calcite (valuable for nutrition, but does not contribute in the same way to bioactivity in the same way that Sea Calcium does) - has two additional crystal structure factors that cause the CA to go right to the bone. pH of 10; sustained buffering action that causes it to become a commercially viable product Smoothness and nice impression in the mouth if you want to mix the powder in the mouth; neutral, not chalky. Buffering action keeps the blood from being too acidic; all of your enzymes work in a very narrow range of pH so your body doesn't rob your bones of CA. We want to stop the body from going to the body to pull calcium using parathyroid hormone (PTH) - blood work shows it (PTH) is controlled for a long period of time when you use this product, so we have evidence that this product is working. Short-chain FOS enhancement significantly improves the digestive health and overall immune response in the body. In human studies alone, 3 grams of the SCFOS itself can highly improve the absorption of the CA by up to 54%. Higher bone mineral density, better flexibility and bone mineralization; improved gut and immune health --- making this a foundational product for overall health.

Selling points of this product: 100% of plant-derived marine minerals Renewable resource – growing plant matter is never disturbed Natural source of soluble fiber High CA, appropriate balance CA: Mg Trace minerals present Synergistic action
