Those people who would benefit from taking Thompson's High Potency Calcifort include those who suffer muscle cramps, joint pains, heart palpitations, increased cholesterol levels, insomnia, irritability, and numbness of the arms and legs. Others who may benefit from taking Thompson's High Potency Calcifort are those who consume low-fat, high protein or high fibre diets and who tend not to eat dairy products because of their perceived high-fat status. Strict vegetarians, also, may not consume dairy products. Thompson's High Potency Calcifort is suitable for vegetarians.
A good accumulation of Calcium in the bones in the early stages of life is the best prevention of age-related bone loss and fractures. Studies show, however, that in post-menopausal women supplemental Calcium can slow bone loss, with the degree of reduction being sufficient to potentially reduce fracture risk over time.
Most women would benefit from taking Thompson's High Potency Calcifort throughout life, especially those with a family history of osteoporosis. Thompson's High Potency Calcifort is ideal during pregnancy and breast-feeding, as well as after menopause.
Low dietary levels of Calcium increase the risk of high blood pressure. Severe deficiency can lead to abnormal heartbeat, dementia and convulsions. As we age the risk of deficiency escalates because of decreased absorption due to lowered stomach acidity. Many elderly individuals suffer from diminished stomach acidity. This influence on Calcium absorption is often exacerbated by a decreased desire for Calcium-rich foods at this stage. Because Calcium Citrate is included in Thompson's High Potency Calcifort, it is recommended in such cases.
Thompson's High Potency Calcifort supplies Calcium in the preferred, more readily absorbable Citrate form, boosted to high potency with Calcium Carbonate. Calcium Citrate does not require high stomach acidity for maximum absorption as do other forms of Calcium. The inclusion of Calcium Citrate, thus, makes Thompson's High Potency Calcifort a highly bioavailable Calcium supplement suitable for people of all ages. The daily dosage of Thompson's High Potency Calcifort supplies 90% of the recommended intake of this essential mineral. Another benefit of Calcium Citrate is that it reduces the crystallisation of Calcium salts that can develop into kidney stones. Thompson's High Potency Calcifort includes a range of synergistic nutrients to maximise bioavailability. Magnesium and Vitamin D enhance Calcium absorption, Zinc is included for its role in preventing bone loss, while the trace elements, Silica and Manganese are necessary for normal skeletal development.
