As more and more Americans are affected by osteoporosis, the disease has received increased attention in the media. The mainstream approach to osteoporosis has focused mostly on the use of synthetic hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Unfortunately, this solution only works as long as the drugs are continued indefinitely.

New research from Japan suggests that a newly discovered and highly absorbable form of calcium has the power to prevent and reverse bone loss--without dangerous hormonal manipulation.

Oyster shell ash breakthrough

One independent scientist, Dr. Takuo Fujita, past President of the Osteoporosis Foundation of Japan, has spent a considerable part of his career searching for a form of calcium that could be more readily absorbed and used by the body.

The first breakthrough came in the discovery of a compound called AACa. Early studies showed that AACa was absorbed more than twice as well as calcium carbonate or coral calcium.

Exotic algae treatment quadruples the effectiveness

But the real breakthrough came later, when Dr. Fujita discovered that the absorbability of AACa could be even further enhanced by adding HAI, a preparation of specially processed algae.
