  • Boost Immunity and Fights Diseases. Lowers risks of several diseases including multiple sclerosis, heart disease, and flu.
  • Helps Prevents Cancer. Reduces the risk of several cancers, including colon cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer and breast cancers, by increasing cell differentiation and calcium absorption while reducing metastasis.

 

 

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble organic compound and a powerful antioxidant that protects body cells from damage caused by free radicals and disables their production inside the body.

Vitamin E is essential for:

  • Repairs Damaged Skin Cells. Strengthens capillary walls within the skin and improves moisture and elasticity. Also, reduces inflammation in the body and skin maintaining healthy and youthful skin.
  • Good Eyesight. Decreases risk of age-related macular degeneration, a common cause of blindness.

  • Normal psychological functions.

 

 

Calcium

Calcium is the most abundant and most essential mineral for overall nutrition and health. One of the primary functions of calcium is to support and maintain the skeletal structure of the body made up of bones. Bone is formed by special cells that make a scaffold with calcium, as well as proteins and phosphorus which forms a crystal on top of the scaffold. The body uses 99% of its calcium in keeping bones and teeth strong.
