Hey Everyone!
We've got our Calcium
L-Threonate on special ‘At-Cost’ through the end of the month.
This has got to be the best Calcium Supplement ever created.
Calcium L-Threonate works in the same way as Magtein. Magtein is also referred to as Magnesium L-Threonate. It is a patented combination of magnesium and a vitamin C compound called ‘Threonic Acid’. Due to the L-Threonate, it is the only type of Magnesium that is capable of
crossing the brain/blood barrier. Therefore, it effectively feeds the brain Magnesium, which turns out to be critical to brain function. It's the most amazing form of Magnesium ever developed.
Well, in the same way that they’ve increased the absorption of Magnesium with L-Threonate, they did the exact same thing with Calcium L-Threonate. This allows calcium to be absorbed way more
effectively into the bones. They took this same exact concept, and coupled the Vitamin C amino acid compound (Threonic Acid) with calcium, instead of magnesium.
Magnesium L-Threonate was originally developed to increase memory, in particular for Alzheimer’s Patients. Calcium L-threonate, on the other hand was developed for the treatment of osteoporosis, and used in the treatment of calcium deficiency.
The mechanisms
of how this Calcium L-Threonate works, is unlike any other calcium on the market. After you read all of the studies and information below, you will see exactly what I am talking about.
Calcium does a lot of things besides just feed the bones. There are so many other uses for calcium around the body that when we run low in calcium, the body starts stealing it from the bones.
This stealing of
calcium from our bones is called Bone Resorption. It is resorption of bone tissue, that is, the process by which osteoclasts break down the tissue in bones and release the minerals, resulting in a transfer of calcium from bone tissue to the blood.
So pretty much, Bone Resorption means removing calcium from the bones into the blood.
In the clinical study here, they concluded that ”L-threonate, especially calcium L-threonate could inhibit the bone resorption of osteoclasts, and its effect might be related to the radical of L-threonic acid.”
This is absolutely huge that calcium L-threonate could inhibit bone resorption, and they think that it’s because of the L-threonate component. As we age, the
body begins to take calcium from the bones for other uses in the body (bone resorption). We then end up with things like Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and other issues from this pitting of the bones. As seen in that clinical study above, Calcium L-threonate could inhibit that.
In that same clinical study, the hardcore pharmaceutical drugs alendronate and estradiol actually did inhibit bone resorption even more than
the Calcium L-Threonate. However, those pharmaceutical drugs have no calcium within them. One is an estrogen steroid hormone, and the other is monosodium salt trihydrate. Sometimes we may need Pharmaceutical drugs in extreme cases, but you just have to weigh for yourself if their potential side effects are worth it. I personally take a Reclast infusion (aka. Zoledronate Acid) once a year, and I believe that it has the least amount of side effects compared
to other pharmaceuticals as seen at the study here. Furthermore, this study concludes that it extends the life span and health span of the bones.
I personally have had some serious issues
with malabsorption in my past, and I am not a typical case, lol. This is the one pharmaceutical drug that I get excited to take once a year.
However, other people who don't have it as bad as me with their bone issues, may not want to use pharmaceuticals. I totally get it and I have fought them for many years.
While these pharmaceutical drugs for our bones aren’t calcium sources, the Calcium L-Threonate is a legitimate very absorbable calcium source, which is
said to absorb up to 95%. Therefore, it has the ability to inhibit bone resorption like these pharmaceutical, but it can also provide calcium to your body at the same time. Some say it may be the best shot at dealing with bone issues naturally, before getting into more hardcore pharmaceutical drugs.
Since these pharmaceutical drugs don’t have any calcium, they are using other pathways other than just calcium to increase bone density. In
that same clinical study above, the Calcium L-Threonate not only provides calcium, but it seems like the L-Threonate component alone may also be working to increase bone health too. The clinical study said, “L-threonate, especially calcium L-threonate could inhibit the bone resorption." Based on that statement, It looks like Calcium L-Threonate inhibits bone resorption more effectively, but it seems that L-Threonate alone may also do some
of the job.
I believe that the L-Threonate component can do it on its own, because it is a bio-carrier for calcium. Therefore, I believe that if you take the L-threonate by itself, it will take the calcium that you have available in your body and deliver it into your bones. However, the study does say that it works better with the calcium attached to it. I believe that having calcium connected to it just guarantees that there is calcium available for the
L-threonate to get into your bones. The L-Threonate simply brings the calcium through the intestines into the bones.
However, it doesn't stop there!
L-Threonate is a key component of the overall formula of this Calcium L-threonate, and is one of the main metabolites of Vitamin C. It also influences the biological activities or functions of Vitamin C, and provides optimum supplementation of our dietary collagen
needs.
Yep, that’s right! Calcium L-Threonate does not only supplement calcium, but it also has been scientifically proven to strengthen the bones by encouraging the formation of collagen and cartilage and improving bone density and joint flexibility.
In the studies connected on the Calcium L-threonate patent here, it shows the method Calcium L-Threonate treats cartilage related diseases, how it increased the quantity of bone collagen, and so much more.
The studies state, ”the present invention relates to a method for preventing or treating of cartilage related diseases, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, articular cartilage damage,
multiple chondritis, osteochondrosis, etc., which comprises administering an effective amount of calcium L-threonate to a subject in need of such prevention or treatment. It had been demonstrated by experiments that calcium L-threonate could improve significantly the positive expression percentage of collagen I mRNA in the chondrocyte and osteoblast, improved significantly the positive expression percentage of articular cartilage and epiphyseal cartilage, facilitated the growth
of chondrocyte, increased the quantity of bone collagen, and promoted the formation of bone and cartilage matrix and the synthesis of proteoglycan. It could also promote the formation of bone nourishing blood vessels and improve the microcirculation of bone.”
So this study shows that Calcium L-threonate has the potential to improve bone collagen, cartilage, bone blood vessels, microcirculation of the bone, and help
the formation of proteins present in the connective tissue.
Within the studies of another Calcium L-threonate patent here, Calcium L-Threonate is recognized as a method for treating bone fractures.
The studies say, ”present invention relates to a method for treating or preventing bone fracture, which comprises
administering an effective amount of calcium L-threonate to a subject in need of such prevention or treatment. It had been found from experiments that calcium L-threonate could not only promote proliferation, differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts, but also could promote the expression of collagen I mRNA of osteoblasts cultured in vitro. Accordingly it facilitated bone fracture healing and increased bone density and mechanical performance, so as to prevent or treat bone
fracture.”
As we saw in the very first study way above, Calcium L-Threonate not only inhibited the bone resorption of “osteoclasts”, which are the cells involved in the breakdown of bones, but the studies in this patent show that it also promoted proliferation, and mineralization of the “osteoblasts”, which are involved in formation and mineralization of the
bones.
Therefore, Calcium L-threonate not only promotes the proliferation and mineralization of the Osteoblasts, but at the same time inhibits the Osteoclasts!
In laymen terms, it stops the breakdown of bones (calcium removal), and at the same time remineralizes the bones (with calcium)!
It’s the perfect combination for bone health!
In the
final patent here, which is attached to five different clinical studies, shows the successful use of calcium L-threonate in preventing, inhibiting, and curing osteoporosis and rickets.
The five different studies all had successful conclusions. The first two are titled,
"the Enhancing Effect of Calcium L-threonate on the Bone Mineral Density of Preschool Children", and "the Effect of Calcium L-threonate on Curing Babies of Rickets". Furthermore, there were a couple of others with positive successful results on rats, and lastly a test of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of Calcium L-threonate.
If you want a really detailed crazy long read, there was a scientific panel on
the opinion of Calcium L-threonate for its use as a source of calcium in food supplements. It was performed by the ANS (Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to food), a division of the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority), at the link here.
This Scientific Panel on the Opinion of Calcium L-threonate,
has numerous clinical studies within this document, and it reveals that in one study Calcium L-Threonate and Calcium Gluconate is more effectively absorbed compared to Calcium Acetate, and Calcium Carbonate. However, in another study on this panel Calcium L-threonate outperformed Calcium Gluconate.
This entire 20 page European Food Safety Authority paper was to show that Calcium L-Threonate
is safe, and it successfully did that with flying colors.
The same EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) did a similar scientific opinion panel on orotate minerals, which included Calcium Orotate to see if it was safe. As a lot of you probably know, many natural health doctors and people within the alternative health sector are stating that Calcium Orotate is the best calcium to take.
Well, while the EFSA approved the Calcium L-threonate as super safe, this same EFSA scientific panel stated that calcium orotate is a major safety concern.
They concluded the following at the link here, “The Panel concludes that in the light of the
tumor-promoting effect of orotic acid in animal experimentation, the small margin of safety to this effect from foreseeable exposure, and the absence of any relevant studies on genotoxicity and of any developmental studies, the use of orotate as a source of the eight other minerals and choline at the proposed levels of use is of safety concern.
If you go further into this EFSA panel paper, it states, ”Several studies have shown that repeated dosing of orotic acid
to rats, and some other larger species of animals, promotes the formation of tumors initiated by various known carcinogenic substances. The usual concentration to promote tumors has been 1% in the diet, but also 0.5 and 0.2 % in the diet has been shown to have a tumor promoting effect.”
What they are saying is that it is a safety concern to take Orotate mineral products, like Calcium Orotate, because within several animal studies they revealed that
the repeated intake of Orotate promotes the formation of tumors. This occurred even when Orotate is as low as .2%, of the diet, which is only one-fifth of one percent, of the animals diet. If it was just one animal study, ok. However, they are talking about several studies among various species of animals.
Moving on back to the Calcium L-Threonate; one
last clinical study at the link here, states, ”Calcium L-Threonate was absorbed extremely well and it was established as safe. This study concluded, Calcium L-threonate was well tolerated in healthy Chinese subjects, with no pattern of dose-related adverse events. Plasma exposure increased with dose escalation, and linear
pharmacokinetics were not observed over the studied doses. L-threonate was absorbed rapidly, and its absorption was enhanced by food intake. No systemic accumulation appeared after repeated administrations.”
I just wanted to notate, in that study above, it says it absorbs better when taken with food.
Whenever I send a Newsletter out about Calcium L-Threonate, I get many questions on how it’s derived and what it comes from. It’s actually an
incredible process in how they make it.
They alter the molecular formula of the calcium with two different steps in order to obtain the Calcium L-Threonate. In the first step they take Calcium Carbonate and Ascorbic Acid, and they process this through Hydrogen Peroxide Oxidation. The Hydrogen Peroxide Oxidation step adds oxygen to its molecular formula by 30-35%, and
transforms this entire compound into white crystals of Calcium Ascorbate. In the second step they take this "Calcium Ascorbate and Oxygen compound", and they literally have it react under the action of enzymes, which then turns into Calcium L-threonate.
It’s almost like they are mixing the perfect compounds, and predigesting it with enzymes
in order to form this Calcium L-threonate. For the first time ever, it makes me feel ok about taking a calcium supplement.
Also remember, the L-threonate (vitamin C amino acid) enables passage of the calcium through the intestines into the bones. That is the key here. The only other calcium supplement that I know of that has a carrier of some sort
like this is the Calcium Orotate, and that’s why many natural doctors have recommended that as their choice of calcium. However, as we learned, the EFSA deemed that taking Orotate Minerals is a major safety concern. Several studies revealed the tumor promoting effects that Orotate minerals had on various species of animals. These tumor promoting effects occurred even when the quantity they took was only
.2% (1/5 of 1%) of their total diet.
This Calcium L-Threonate is a total natural bone builder, providing calcium to the bones.
We’ve now carried the Calcium L-Threonate for just over 1 year now, and the testimonials are starting to pour in.
Here are a couple of them:

This product is phenomenal. I had knee fracture on April 10,2023 due to my cancer medication and I’ve been taking it for 3 months. My fracture is fully healed. Further I had many
other bone pains in my ribs, arms, hands, back, now it’s all gone. I had Dexascane done prior to taking this and I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. Now I will get another test and see if I’m osteoporosis free. This supplement is a miracle, I’m not kidding. I simply take half teaspoon at bedtime and never miss a dose. Waiting for my shipment of 3 more bags.Thanks Matt for sharing a such great product. I’ve been following you since 2010 I too was raw vegan almost 10 years. Now I do eat meat and
still eat clean food. I always love your videos and what you’ve gone through health wise. You’re always in my prayers and what you do for other individuals like myself. Much gratitude and greatly appreciate your explanation of each supplements. -:)

Just wanted to say that the calcium l-threonate is the only calcium supplement I have taken that does not give me leg
cramps, and I have tried many forms. I seem to react to all other forms but this one. (I seem to be sensitive to mineral supplements, some zinc forms actually give me spots on my nails, which I never have otherwise, but that’s supposed to be an indicator of deficiency!) Taking for bone bruising and micro fractures. Thanks for making this available to us!

Just like the Magnesium L-Threonate, the Calcium L-Threonate has no taste. There are a lot of
calciums out there that taste awful, or they are really chalky. You simply take 1/4 teaspoon, you put it in some water, you stir it up, and chug it down. You can also just put it in a shot glass of water if you don’t want that much water when taking it with your food.
As usual, our Calcium L-threonate is just one single ingredient with no other fillers;
Calcium L-threonate. There is no other Calcium L-threonate product out there that doesn’t have other fillers in it like Maltodextrin among others.
If you take 1/4 teaspoon a day, one bag will last you 36 days. 1/4 teaspoon will give you 1250 mg’s of Calcium L-Threonate, which contains 166.5 mg’s of elemental calcium. Elemental calcium is the amount of calcium that is actually used by the body. Keep
in mind that the L-threonate is a big percentage of this product, which is going to work here making the absorption rate incredibly good. Since Calcium L-threonate is so well-absorbed, there’s no need to take an excessive dose, since you won’t ‘lose’ much of the calcium.
I personally like to be taking this with Raw Goat milk in order to help with the absorption of its
calcium.
When in need of calcium, It’s generally recommended to get calcium from both your food and supplementation, like carrot juice, lol. Many of the alternative natural companies put a much lower dosage of calcium in their supplements. For example, GHC (Global Healing Center) has 90mg per serving 2-3 times a day. Dr Mercola’s Calcium is 180mg per day, Eidon minerals offers only 10mg per serving,
etc.
If you have a serious bone issue, and you want to take more, I created a chart below for you, which shows the dosages and how much calcium you will get. For example, double the amount of Calcium L-threonate at 1/2 teaspoon a day, you would need two bags for the 36 days. 1/2 teaspoon will get you 333 mg's of elemental calcium.
Today’s ‘At-Cost’ price is only
$17.61 each when you get a 3-pack, so two bags comes to $35.22, which is a reasonable amount to spend on getting 2500mg of Calcium L-threonate per day, which equates to 333mg’s of elemental calcium for 36 days. 3/4 of a teaspoon will give you just about 500mg of elemental calcium per day and so on. Once the sale is over, I won’t do a huge increase in the
sale price and I will be sure to offer it ‘At-Cost’ again every 5-6 months or so.
Here is the chart (1 bag lasts 36 days):
1/4 Teaspoon = 1250 mgs Calcium L-threonate, 166.5 mgs of Elemental Calcium (1 bag Cost $17.61 )
1/2 Teaspoon = 2500 mgs Calcium L-threonate, 333 mgs of Elemental Calcium (2 bags Cost $35.22 )
3/4 Teaspoon = 3750 mgs Calcium L-threonate, 499.5 mgs
of Elemental Calcium (3 bags Cost $52.89 )
1 Teaspoon = 5000 mgs Calcium L-threonate, 666 mgs of Elemental Calcium (4 bags Cost $70.51 )
1 1/4 Tsp = 6250 mgs Calcium L-threonate, 832.5 mgs of Elemental Calcium (5 bags Cost $88.11 )
1 1/2 Tsp = 7500 mgs Calcium L-threonate, 999 mgs of Elemental Calcium (6 bags Cost $105.78 )
The L-threonate is just such
an active component in this calcium supplement, aiding in the bone building process from so many different avenues. This includes improving bone collagen, bone cartilage, bone blood vessels, and microcirculation of the bone. Furthermore, it helps the formation of proteins present within the connective tissue. Additionally, it provides extremely good absorption of calcium. Lastly, Calcium
L-threonate not only promotes the proliferation and mineralization of the Osteoblasts, but at the same time inhibits the Osteoclasts!
I am so hopeful that this product can help so many people with their bone issues, including myself.
