Bioavailable Calcium Tablets

Perhaps more than any other mineral, calcium is stressed for women aged 35 or 40 and older in order to prevent loss of bone, brittle bone, and patent osteoporosis. As we age, our body chemistry changes and our ability to absorb nutrients, especially minerals such as calcium, decreases steadily. This means that even if a woman is consuming a diet rich in calcium-containing foods, her body may not be absorbing sufficient amounts of the mineral.

Until recently, most of the clinical studies concerning calcium supplements and osteoporosis or arthritis have shown that these supplements can slow down the progression of the condition, but rarely halt it altogether. Today we know that this is not because of a failure of the supplements, but rather the missing co-factors necessary for calcium absorption!

The first of many landmark studies proving the need for adjunct trace minerals to enhance calcium absorption was conducted at the University of California at San Diego. The results of this study showed that by adding the key nutrients boron, manganese, copper and zinc to a pre-acidified, chelated combination of calcium and magnesium, post-menopausal women were able to not only stop the progression of bone loss but to realize nearly a 1.5% INCREASE in their bone density during the study.

Curves Essential contains the exact same combination of calcium, magnesium and key trace minerals as that used in the above study. Remember, it is not how much of a nutrient you take, but rather how much you absorb that matters. The ingredients in Curves Essential are clinically proven to provide the best possible absorption. For best results use Curves Essential with our Full Spectrum Curves Complete vitamin.

 

The Curves Protein Shake

The Curves Protein Shake was developed to provide an enjoyable, satisfying, and nutritious drink that would help people who are trying to manage their weight.

Many products on the market provide too many calories and far too many carbohydrates for most dieters. Some of these products provide as much as 40 or 50 grams of refined sugar per shake. Research is now demonstrating that for many people, eating too many carbohydrates while dieting tends to feed their body's fat stores while starving lean tissue.

Each serving of the Curves Protein Shake with 8 ounces of skim milk provides 23 grams of protein.

The Curves Protein Shake uses soy protein, the best source of protein for women due to its ability to donate phytoestrogens, which the body can use to make both estrogen and progesterone-like compounds. A special blend of herbs is included to help detoxify the body and keep the dieter from becoming constipated while on the program. We use no sucrose (table sugar) and no aspartame. Additionally, we have fortified every serving of the Curves shake with key vitamins and minerals, to help meet additional nutrient needs of the dieter.

The Curves shake comes in two delicious flavors, chocolate and vanilla. Mix 2 scoops of shake with 8oz. of skim milk and ice in a blender or shaker.

If you do not necessarily enjoy dieting, enjoy a delicious chocolate or vanilla Curves Protein Shake. A moment of pleasure in the midst of misery will help you reach you goals.

Glucose Management

Obesity is at epidemic proportions not only in America, but in most industrialized nations. In fact, wherever the Standard American Diet (SAD Diet) is introduced, obesity usually follows within ten to twenty years, along with a rapid rise in chronic degenerative diseases.

In looking at the problem of excess weight, we also know that, on average, 75 percent of all overweight people will be carbohydrate intolerant, meaning that their bodies produce excess amounts of insulin in response to the ingestions of triglycerides and stored as body fat. For these individuals, the early stages of low carbohydrate diets can be extremely hard.

Originally developed for type II Diabetics, the ultimate carbohydrate intolerants, our nutrient formula, Gluco Crave, has proven a lifesaver for hypoglycemics and recently we have applied a lower dose of the same formula and guess what? It cuts the cravings experienced by dieters tremendously!

We recommend one capsule with each of three meals a day for the carbohydrate intolerant dieter. At this dosage, most users feel that it adequately controls their cravings for offending foods such as sugars, starches and other carbohydrates.

Remember, this formulation is NOT a diet pill. This is NOT a drug! There are NO SIDE EFFECTS! This formula merely reduces the cravings for starch and sugary foods by sparing or regulating insulin and glucose levels in the blood. This is all it does, but it's a lifesaver for the carbohydrate intolerant dieter!
