---

Ingredients & Description

Acid-A-Cal contains compounds, vitamins, and minerals which may help to maintain balanced pH levels within the body. Abnormal acid-alkaline levels contribute to a number of abdominal discomforts. More importantly, unbalanced pH levels prevent the natural absorption of calcium.

 

Enzamatic Therapy's Acid-A-Cal is formulated to help the body maintain a proper pH balance. Acid-A-Cal may normalize your acid-alkaline levels and promote natural calcium absorption. Calcium, as we all know, is a nutrient essentail for bone health and strength.

Question: would this benefit someone with rheumatoid arthritis?


• 0 0 A: Acid A Cal helps the body to absorb calcium better which helps build and maintain strong bones. Vitamin D may also be a great vitamin to add to your routine.

  Methods:

  In a cohort of 44 patients with RA, 25-hydroxyvitamin D₃ [25(OH)D₃] levels, parathyroid hormone levels, C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were measured. Disease activity was evaluated by calculating the 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28). A control group (n = 44), matched for age and sex, was evaluated as well.

  Results:

  In the cohort of 44 patients with RA 25(OH)D₃ levels were found to be low compared with the control group, 25(OH)D₃ being 15.26 ± 1.07 ng/ml [mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM)] and 25.8 ± 1.6 ng/ml in the patient and control group respectively (Student’s t test, p < 0.001). Parathyroid hormone levels were 71.08 ± 7.02 pg/ml (mean ± SEM) (normal values 10.0–65.0 pg/ml), CRP 7.6 ± 1.57 mg/litre (mean ± SEM) (normal values < 3 mg/litre) and ESR was 38.0 ± 4.6 mm/h (mean ± SEM) in the group of patients with RA. Levels of 25(OH)D₃ were found to be negatively correlated to the DAS28, the correlation coefficient being −0.084. Levels of 25(OH)D₃ were also found to be negatively correlated to CRP and ESR, the correlation coefficient being –0.115 and −0.18, respectively.

  Conclusion:

  It appears that vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in patients with RA, and that vitamin D deficiency may be linked to disease severity in RA. As vitamin D deficiency has been linked to diffuse musculoskeletal pain, these results have therapeutic implications. Vitamin D supplementation may be needed both for the prevention of osteoporosis as well as for pain relief in patients with RA. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3539179/ Seacoast conclusion Though the study did show that the overall RA patients had low vitamin D levels, the study only contained 44 patients thus larger studies should be done to further confirm this theory.  To view some of our Vitamin D supplements, if you are interested, please see below. http://www.seacoast.com/vitamin-d
