Natural Vitality - Austin

Natural Vitality was founded in 1982 by Peter Gillham, developer of Natural Calm. Today, Natural Vitality is an Austin-based international purpose-driven company committed to healthier and happier living. Owned and operated by partners Ken and Susan Whitman and Justin Farmer, Natural Vitality has developed a line of best-selling supplements based on research and formulated to produce a noticeable result. We also believe that real, lasting health requires the creation of a sustainable environment and locally-based food system.

For our dietary supplements, we seek out organic plant-based ingredients wherever possible. All the fruits and vegetables we use are organically grown. The agave, stevia, and fruit flavorings are organic as well. This not only assures customers of no pesticide residues and no GMO ingredients but also provides financial support to organic farming.

Beyond the production of premium-quality, award-winning dietary supplements, a percentage of product sales funds our Natural Revitalization environmental action initiative. This is a program started in 2007 that supports organic farming and environmental stewardship.

As part of this program, Natural Vitality works with groups such as the Bionutrient Food Association, a nonprofit research, education, and advocacy organization dedicated to promoting and implementing natural ways to restore health and vitality to our soil and our food, Remineralize the Earth and the Center for Food Safety.

Natural Vitality also helps educate consumers through Natural Vitality Publishing. This umbrella includes the award-winning journal of our evolving culture, Organic Connections (www.organicconnectmag.com) and a home-focused sustainable living magazine Natural Vitality Living (www.naturalvitalityliving.com) with e-books and newsletters. All Natural Vitality publications are produced as a labor of love and are made available free of charge.

Additional Information

Our children deserve the best. Good nutrition is a cornerstone of good health and vital for proper development. The objective in creating Kids Natural Calm Multi was to combine the beneficial effects of magnesium with a comprehensive premium multi to provide children with key nutrients missing from their diets.24 Organic Fruits and Veggies,Natural Kids Calm MultiAs we know, fruits and vegetables are fundamental nutritional factors in a healthy diet. Kids Natural Calm Multi incorporates superfruits (organic pomegranate, açaí, goji and noni), fruits (apple, banana, blackberry, blueberry, cranberry, mango, orange, pineapple, rasp-berry, strawberry and tart cherry) and vegetables (beets, broccoli, carrot, collard greens, kale, peas, pumpkin, spinach and tomato). We took extra care to use organic produce to ensure no pesticide, herbicide or fungicide residues, chemical fertilizers or genetically modified ingredients were included in our formula.

Omega-3 DHA & EPA,Technically, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are biologically active omega-3 fatty acids. They are basic building blocks in cells and are needed throughout the entire body for good health. As children grow and develop, they require these fatty acids as essential components in their diets. Omega-3 DHA and EPA are an integral part of cell membranes and precursors of several important cellular messengers. DHA has been recognized as necessary for brain, visual and nervous system health and development.

The fish oil used in Kids Natural Calm Multi is sourced from the purest wild sardine and anchovy, fished in cold, pristine waters off South America where there are significantly less environmental impurities. It is the product of a healthy, fully sustainable fishery and is a renewable, resource.Calcium and Magnesium Balance,MAGNESIUM-DEFICIENT KIDS,It’s not just adults who can get anxious because of magnesium-deficient diets. Our children are also susceptible when their favorite foods are magnesium-deficient—hot dogs, pizza, and soda.

The stress in their lives—from peer pressure, academic and athletic performance pressures, worries about body image, the changes and hormonal fluctuations of puberty, exposure to negative events and violence through the media—also contributes. Even playing in a band can be a risk factor! Children are underdiagnosed when it comes to magnesium deficiency, but they can have magnesium deficiencies for the same reasons as adults.—Carolyn Dean, MD, ND

Calcium and magnesium are key nutrients that need to be in balance with each other in order for good health to be fully maintained. Calcium excites nerves, while magnesium calms them down. Calcium makes muscles contract. Magnesium is necessary for muscles to relax. You experience the tensing (calcium) and relaxing (magnesium) interaction of these two elements each time your heart beats, when you feel your pulse, and every time you breathe.

When we are under stress (and don’t think that stress applies only to adults), our cells—which in their resting state contain magnesium—go through a change. Calcium, normally outside the cells, enters the cells and the calcium level becomes high. This is the action state in which a muscle cell, for example, will contract and tense the muscle. The magnesium then pushes the calcium out of the cell and the cell is again in its resting, relaxed state.

Think of it as an on-off switch. The “off” is magnesium and the “on” is calcium.But what happens to a cell that is not in balance—where the magnesium level in the body is deficient,In simple terms, the “off” switch doesn’t fully turn off. That means calcium can continually leak into the cells and stimulate cell activity (the “on” switch). The result is stress, which may be accompanied by one or more of the magnesium deficiency symptoms listed in the sidebar of this page.

Natural Calm Kids Multi Supplement FactsMagnesium helps your muscles and nerves function properly; it keeps your heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system and also assists in keeping your bones strong. This essential mineral helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure and is required for producing and storing energy. It’s easy to see why many researchers say that no single dietary factor is as critical as magnesium.

Natural Calm is the solution to both restoring a healthy magnesium level and balancing your calcium intake—the result of which is natural stress relief. Natural Calm has been the best-selling magnesium supplement on the market for seven years in a row according to health-food supermarket scanner reports.Kids Natural Calm Multi includes bioavailable calcium, vitamins, trace minerals, and plant-sourced amino acids from quinoa. It’s a lovingly-crafted formula designed to provide the best nutrition for our kids.Kids will like the organic fruity splash flavor, sweetened with organic stevia. Simply mix with an equal amount of water or add to juice. Recommended for ages 4 through 13.Here’s a review from one of our young customers (recorded and e-mailed to us by her mom): “Oh my goss Mom! Dis is SO good!”.

We hear a lot about calcium and how important it is to our bones. But what we don’t hear is that the balance of calcium and magnesium is a critical factor not only to bone health but to overall health in general. Magnesium helps the body absorb and transport calcium into the bones and makes bones stronger and more flexible. Approximately 50 percent of total body magnesium is found in bone.

According to the National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements, “Some evidence suggests that magnesium deficiency may be an additional risk factor for postmenopausal osteoporosis. This may be due to the fact that magnesium alters calcium metabolism and the hormones that regulate calcium. Several human studies have suggested that magnesium supplementation may improve bone mineral density to a greater degree than a lower magnesium intake. Diets that provide recommended levels of magnesium are beneficial for bone health.”**

Many experts agree that the majority of the population don’t meet the minimum daily requirement for magnesium in their everyday diets. Magnesium supplementation is the way to balance calcium intake (from diet and/or dietary supplements) and to maintain a healthy level of magnesium—required for over 300 of the body’s biochemical processes. It is important to note this applies to both women and men. Statistically, one in two women and one in four men over age 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their future. The total annual bill for osteoporotic fractures alone is estimated to be $30 billion.

No matter how good the vitamins or mineral supplements are that you start with, they are only as good as they are bioavailable. Supplements must be absorbed and assimilated into the body and be available at the proper area in order to be of use. All pills and capsules have to dissolve into liquid form before they can be absorbed and assimilated. Some people with weaker digestive systems (and digestive ability often weakens with age) don’t fully break these down and the result is only partial or no absorption, so the pill or capsule doesn’t do much, if any, good.

At Natural Vitality we begin with liquid. There is nothing to break down. The nutrients are naturally engineered for bioavailability. For those who have trouble taking pills and capsules, a liquid avoids this problem altogether. You also get fast action, as you don’t have to wait for supplements to be digested.Premium Quality Ingredients,Osteo Calm is designed around top brand-name ingredients. We use GloCal® calcium. It has solubility (which means it goes into solution in liquid) and bioavailability significantly superior to many other forms of calcium, such as calcium carbonate.

Our magnesium is Natural Calm®, the best-selling magnesium in the natural products market for three years running. It also is super soluble (both Natural Calm and GloCal will go clear when mixed in water)and has excellent bioavailability.Vitamins to Support Bone Health,Osteo Calm Supplement Factswith vitamins A, C, B6 and folic acid, two vitamins stand out as having an important role in bone health.

Vitamin D3 is essential for the efficient use of calcium by the body. According to the National Coalition for Osteoporosis and Related Bone Diseases, “Vitamin D is necessary for the absorption of calcium….For bone health in particular, calcium partners with vitamin D; a deficiency of either can contribute to the mechanism of bone loss.”Vitamin K2 is needed for proper bone formation. It helps put calcium in the bones rather than in your artery walls (where you don’t want it).

All minerals in Osteo Calm that contribute to strong bones are in ionic form (having molecular charge that allows the element to readily bond with water) for better absorption. These include zinc, manganese, potassium and boron.Convenient and Tasty,Osteo CalmOsteo Calm is formulated for effectiveness but also to be a convenient and enjoyable experience. Simply mix a half capful with an equal amount of water. Most people comment on its natural orange-vanilla flavor. There’s no sugar or fructose added—simply organic agave nectar and organic stevia. There are also none of the binders or fillers used in pills and capsules.

We suggest starting with 2 teaspoons of OsteoCalm and gradually increasing to 3 teaspoons twice daily. Because magnesium can have a mild natural laxative effect (which is good news for many who experience constipation), you can judge the optimal amount when bowels are comfortably loose.Your body needs calcium, magnesium and vitamin D every day. We hope you’ll find Osteo Calm a pleasant way to help you feel healthier and be happier.

Magnesium and calcium are fundamental nutrients that need to be in balance with each other in order for you to fully experience good health. Their importance on a cellular level is critical. Calcium and magnesium are opposite sides of a coin. Calcium excites nerves, while magnesium calms them down. Calcium makes muscles contract. Magnesium is necessary for muscles to relax. Calcium is needed for blood clotting, but magnesium keeps the blood flowing freely.Calcium & Magnesium: A Matter of Balance

You experience the tensing (calcium) and relaxing (magnesium) interaction of these two elements each time your heart beats, when you feel your pulse, and every time you breathe.When we are under stress, our cells—which in their resting state contain magnesium—go through a change.

The result is stress accompanied by one or more of the magnesium deficiency symptoms.Magnesium helps your muscles and nerves function properly; it keeps your heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system and also assists in keeping your bones strong. This essential mineral helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure and is required for producing and storing energy. It’s easy to see why many researchers say that no single dietary factor is as critical as magnesium.

Calcium—Too Much of a Good Thing,Calcium deficiency can be a serious issue. It is an important nutrient your body needs every day, but too much calcium can also be a problem.The recommended adequate intake of calcium according to the National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements, is 1,000 mg for adults aged 19–50 and 1,200 mg for 51 plus. There are many adults who are taking 1,200–1,500 mg of supplemental calcium in addition to their dietary intake of calcium (an 8 oz cup of low-fat fruit yogurt contains 345 mg of calcium and one cup of nonfat milk contains 306 mg). Unassimilated calcium can end up in the soft tissues of the body where it deposits and hardens (calcifies) or in the urine where it may result in kidney stones.

Unless calcium and magnesium are properly balanced, magnesium becomes depleted (too much calcium can itself deplete magnesium levels). This can result in an inability to quickly recover from stress and can itself be a source of stress.Do You Have a Healthy Magnesium Level,Most people don’t get enough magnesium, including many who already take magnesium. There are two reasons for this: the amount of magnesium required by the body is greater than people think and many magnesium capsules and tablets are not completely absorbed by the body.

Magnesium deficiency can be caused by a number of stresses on the body, including—but not limited to—lack of adequate dietary magnesium, emotional stress, some drugs (diuretics, antibiotics, oral contraceptives, insulin, cortisone), heavy exercise, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders and too much calcium in the diet.The Anti-Stress Drink,Natural Calm flavors,Natural Calm flavors: Original (unflavored), Organic Raspberry-Lemon, Organic Orange,Organic Sweet Lemon and Organic Cherry.
