Calcium
Calcium is a vital nutrient found in various foods such as dairy products, certain vegetables, and many fortified items. Over 99% of the body's calcium is stored in the bones and teeth, predominantly as hydroxyapatite. The remaining calcium circulates in the blood, extracellular fluid, muscles, and other tissues, where it is essential for processes like nerve signaling, muscle contraction, vascular activities, glandular secretion, and maintaining cell membrane and capillary permeability. It also plays critical roles in enzyme reactions, respiration, kidney function, and blood clotting, and is involved in neurotransmitter and hormone release, amino acid uptake, vitamin B12 absorption, and gastrin secretion. Calcium balance changes with age: it is positive during periods of growth, stable in adulthood, and tends to become negative in older age. Calcium loss occurs through feces, urine, sweat, and shedding skin cells. In women, reduced estrogen levels decrease calcium absorption and retention, increase bone turnover, and lead to lower bone mass. Calcium supplements come in various forms, including citrate and carbonate, which differ mainly in their calcium content and absorption rates. Calcium citrate is easily absorbed and can be taken without food, making it suitable for older adults or those with low stomach acid. In contrast, calcium carbonate, which contains a higher percentage of calcium, is best absorbed when taken with meals.

Alpha Lipoic Acid
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring compound that is made by the body and is also found in some foods, such as spinach, broccoli, and potatoes. It plays a role in energy production in the body and acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. ALA has been studied for its potential health benefits, including the treatment of certain types of nerve damage, diabetes, and liver disease.

| General Statements |
- Protocol for Life Balance(TM) Protosorb(TM) C is a patent-pending formulation containing the Vitamin C metabolite, Threonic Acid, which has been shown to enhance uptake of Vitamin C. This buffered, non-acidic Vitamin C supplement is superior as it also contains Alpha Lipoic Acid, an antioxidant known to help regenerate both Vitamin C and glutathione in the body. The addition of Bioflavonoids as synergists helps to create a well-absorbed, highly effective Vitamin C supplement. Furthermore, studies suggest that Alpha Lipoic Acid may enhance the body's utilization of Vitamin C, especially by activating uptake into cells via the glucose transport pathways. These ingredients work cooperatively with other antioxidants, such as Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q10.
Vitamin C is required for the synthesis of collagen, a structural component of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments and bone. Vitamin C also is required for the synthesis of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine and of L-carnitine, which is required for the transport of fats into the mitochondria of cells.

- Vitamin C is best known as a highly effective antioxidant that can protect the body's cells and molecules from damage by free radicals. Its role as an antioxidant has tended to obscure its other physiologic functions. This vitamins is required for synthesis of collagen, a structural component of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments and bone. Vitamin C also is required for the synthesis of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, as well as for the production of L-carnitine, which is required for the transport of fats into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation.
Protocol for Life Balance(TM) ProtoSorb(TM) C is a patent-pending formulation containing the Vitamin C metabolite, Threonic Acid, which has been shown to enhance uptake of Vitamin C. This buffered, non-acidic Vitamin C supplement is superior as it also contains Alpha Lipoic Acid, an antioxidant known to help regenerate both Vitamin C and glutathione in the body. Furthermore, studies suggest that Alpha Lipoic Acid may enhance the body's utilization of Vitamin C, especially by activating uptake into cells vita the glucose transport pathways. Either directly or indirectly, Alpha Lipoic Acid aids Vitamin C in reducing oxidized Vitamin E, hence regenerating that vitamin for its various functions. In addition, in vitro studies have indicated that Alpha Lipoic Acid helps maintain coenzyme Q10 in a reduced state. The addition of Bioflavonoids as synergists helps to create a well-absorbed, highly effective Vitamin C supplement.
