Calgenex Introduces Calci-CLEAR(TM) Line of Dietary Supplements: Addresses Calcification of Arteries and Soft Tissues.


TAMPA, Fla. -- Calgenex Corporation announced today the introduction of Calci-CLEAR, an exclusive line of dietary supplements addressing calcification calcification /cal·ci·fi·ca·tion/ (kal?si-fi-ka´shun) the deposit of calcium salts in a tissue.

 of the soft tissues including the hardening of the arteries hardening of the arteries: see arteriosclerosis.  and inflammation. Calgenex is one of the few companies in the world addressing this pervasive yet often ignored health condition.

 deposits. Calcification is not classified as a disease; however calcium deposits are often associated with many chronic diseases including cancer, arthritis, diabetes, kidney stones, psoriasis, and heart disease. Calcium buildup in arteries is an early warning sign of increased risk of coronary heart disease coronary heart disease: see coronary artery disease.

. People with higher arterial calcium levels are more likely to develop atherosclerosis, stroke and other heart ailments later in life than those with normal levels. In fact, some researchers and physicians now argue that degree of calcification is a more important risk factor for heart disease than cholesterol.

Historically, calcium deposits were thought to occur later in various health conditions, although no exact mechanism has been discovered. Recent studies illustrate, however, that calcium deposits may play a much more active role. In fact, new research is showing that nano-sized calcium phosphate crystals in the soft tissues can harm cells and provoke inflammation.

"We recognize that calcification and inflammation are at the heart of many of the health conditions affecting Americans today," stated Grant Carlson, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  of Calgenex. "It is a little known fact that calcification is associated with more than half of diseases on the leading cause of death list. We developed Calci-CLEAR to help rid the body of calcium phosphate crystals that may result in soft tissue calcification and to potentially improve the quality of life for countless individuals."

Calci-CLEAR is a Three Step System that works in five ways:

1.) Cleanses calcium crystals from the body through the use of sequestering agents that help bind calcium crystals;

2.) Activates proteins that inhibit soft tissue calcification, such as the matrix GLA protein, through the use of ingredients such as Vitamin K2;

3.) Promotes mineral balance by rebalancing the body's mineral stores to the ratios that nature intended;

4.) Neutralizes harmful free radicals through powerful antioxidants; and

5.) Protects cardiovascular health through many heart healthy ingredients such as Pycnogenol[TM], Schizandra, Astragalus astragalus /as·trag·a·lus/ (as-trag´ah-lus) talus.astrag´alar
