Bone decalcification is not always a calcium problem

Bone decalcification. Many people think it's mainly a matter of getting older. A little bit of wear, a little bit of bad luck. Until you suddenly break something and the recovery just doesn't get going. It happened to a healthy family member of mine. At the beginning of this year, she passed away.
That's when many people hear the word osteoporosis for the first time. Bone decalcification. A silent illness that often only comes to light when it is actually too late.

One out of three women over 50 has osteoporosis. For men, that is one out of five.
Most diagnoses are only made after the first fracture, even though this decline starts years earlier, invisible and slow.

New research: not too little calcium, but too little balance‍

Harvard and Frontiers in Endocrinology (2024) revealed something worrying:
‍
Women with low magnesium levels are 27% more likely to have broken bones, even if their calcium levels are normal ❗️

Our bones are not stone structures. They are living tissue, made up of at least 12 minerals, including magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, boron, potassium and calcium. When one of these links is missing, the building becomes fragile. Hard as porcelain, just one tap is all it takes and it's shattered.

The problem with calcium alone

For years, we've been told that calcium was key. Milk, tablets, supplements. The jars of calcium tablets are still sold in bunches at the drugstore.

‍But what's actually in it?In most cases, calcium carbonate, made from ground limestone or shells. Cheap but difficult to absorb without sufficient stomach acid or magnesium.

Sometimes calcium citrate, which is slightly milder on the stomach, but is still an isolated compound without the cofactors that send it to bone.
What's not in it: magnesium, boron, zinc, copper, potassium, phosphorus, or vitamin K2.
No natural transport molecules, so the body has trouble absorbing them, and that often does not work well. As a result, calcium accumulates in the wrong places: in muscles, veins and even around the lungs.

But what happens if you keep overfeeding that one link with calcium and neglect the rest?

• Calcium accumulates where it shouldn't
  
  • in muscles
  • In veins
  • Even around the lungs
• Magnesium uptake is inhibited.
• The adrenal glands become overloaded.
• The kidneys flush out potassium and sodium.

The result: stiff muscles, fatigue, reduced circulation, and, in fact, more bone loss. Not because you had too little calcium, but because it never came to the right place.‍

Four modern enemies of strong bones

1 ️ ︎ Unilateral supplements
We supplement calcium but forget the complete orchestra of supporting minerals.

2 ️ ︎ Synthetic supplements
Many pharmacy tablets contain fillers, binders and cellulose (wood pulp) that the human body cannot break down.
The active substances are therefore poorly absorbed, or even not used at all. What remains is a chemical residue that the body needs to remove extra.

3 ️ ︎Poor soils
Our vegetables contain only a fraction of the minerals they had 50 years ago. Even with “healthy eating”, you often miss 60—80% of what you need.

4 ️ **** Bad recording
Stress, medications and lower stomach acid production prevent minerals from reaching the cell.

This combination means that millions of people are structurally underabsorbing.‍

The natural solution: balance and absorption

Here comes fulvic acid into image, the active ingredient in SMPL72. Includes all 72 minerals you need. With fulvic acid, you have it biological transport mechanism that binds the minerals to themselves and brings them through the cell wall, right where they need to do their work.

This creates cooperation instead of chaos: magnesium and calcium reinforce each other, boron supports absorption and the entire system comes back into balance. The difference between swallowing and feeding, between hard and resilient.

Strong bones are not created by more calcium. They are created by harmony between minerals and by absorption that really is werkt.Dat where SMPL72 makes the difference. Not by adding anything new, but by giving your body what was always naturally available in our soil and vegetables: all minerals bound to fulvic acid.
