Herbs of Gold Super Calcium Plus with Boron 180 tablets

• Adequate calcium intake is essential at every stage of life and

important for the prevention of osteoporosis later in life. While bone

mass accrues in the earlier stages of life, maintaining appropriate

calcium levels in the body is important for ongoing bone strength and

for reducing the risk of fractures later in life.

• After 30 years of age, bone mass begins to decline in both men and

women. Osteoporosis affects 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men globally,

regardless of geographical location1 and over 1 million Australians are

affected by osteoporosis2

.

• Boron is important for the metabolism and utilisation of the bone

building nutrients calcium, magnesium and vitamin D. Boron plays

an important role in extending the half-life of vitamin D, which is

essential for the body’s ability to absorb calcium.

• Magnesium, vitamin D and vitamin K are required for calcium to be

absorbed in the body. Calcium cannot function without sufficient

magnesium, while calcium, vitamin D and vitamin K all work together

in a delicate balance to achieve proper bone density.

• Equisetum arvense, Horsetail, is a perennial herb and one of the

highest natural sources of silica. Silica accelerates the process of

calcification and deposition in bone. It also improves bone matrix

quality and facilitates bone mineralisation.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

• Caution with tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics – drug

bioavailability may be reduced with calcium, magnesium or

manganese supplementation. Take antibiotics either 2 hours before

or 4-6 hours after calcium.

• Caution with thiazide diuretics – drug decreases urinary excretion

of calcium. Monitor serum calcium levels and look for signs of

hypercalcaemia.

• Caution with cardiac glycosides (digoxin) – calcium supplementation

may cause drug toxicity. Monitor use.

• Caution with bisphosphonates – magnesium can form complexes

with drug and reduce absorption. Separate dose by 2 hours.

• Caution with calcium channel blockers – magnesium may have

additive effects and enhance the hypotensive effect. Monitor blood

pressure.

• Caution with potassium-sparing diuretics – these drugs also have

magnesium-sparing properties which could, theoretically, lead to

increased magnesium levels. Monitor.

• Caution with skeletal muscle relaxants – magnesium can potentiate

effects.

• Caution with magnesium, iron and zinc supplements - concurrent use

with calcium can reduce the absorption of these minerals. Separate

dose by 2 hours.

CAUTIONS

• Calcium supplementation is contraindicated in hypercalcaemia and

hypercalciuria.

• Caution with hyperparathyroidism and chronic kidney disease

– calcium supplementation should only be taken under medical

supervision.

• Vitamin D is contraindicated in people with vitamin D hypersensitivity,

systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and hypercalcaemia.

SIDE EFFECTS

• Calcium supplementation may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort,

nausea, constipation and flatulence in some sensitive individuals.
