Calcium Orotate

If you suffer with nutritional deficiencies, it may not be simply due to how much calcium you take in. You may have been searching for options on the web, watching infomercials. Perhaps you heard on Oprah™, a large part of the problem derives from how your minerals are ingested. Specifically, calcium should be taken with magnesium to lessen the chance of constipation.

Another factor in optimizing the calcium supplement is to take it in orotate form.

How does calcium orotate surpass regular calcium?

First what is an orotate?

An orotate is a mineral salt from orotic acid, a natural substance which can be found in your body and in dairy products. The value of minerals in orotate form is that they work as more efficient transporters, easily passing through cell membranes. They tend to remain whole and this helps the minerals to get to the needed areas quickly before being expelled.

Ed Sharp agreed with Dr. Hans Nieper’s findings stating, "There is independent scientific evidence corroborating Nieper's theory of orotates as mineral transporters. In my judgment, the evidence tends to support Nieper's criteria for orotate as an electrolyte carrier."

Regular Calcium

Regular calcium is the most abundant mineral in your body. However, it’s not a static quantity that is present at any given time. Your body expends calcium just as it does other minerals and vitamins. For this reason, it’s important to make certain that you take in an adequate amount of calcium to replace that which is spent.

Calcium in its regular form is expelled before your body can make proper use of it. You must take in enough and retain calcium long enough for your body to make proper use of it; otherwise you run the risk of health issues. The dangers of calcium deficiency include, bone mass decrease, weakened and brittle bones.

Calcium Orotate Benefits

Calcium orotate is the super form of calcium that serves the body best since it gets to where it’s needed most efficiently. It helps to maintain healthy skeletal structure; in some cases it’s been responsible for advancing bone recalcification.

There are other remarkable uses for calcium orotate that have been observed. Dr. Hans Nieper reported several observations based on 38,000 doses of calcium to many patients in one year. Some of Dr. Nieper’s successful results include:

  • Relieving angina
  • Lessening severity of multiple sclerosis symptoms
  • Lowering blood pressure
  • Treating severe psoriasis
