Introducing Nutri-cal not just another calcium
what makes nutri-cal different?
Nutri-Cal ia an organically complexed calcium solution which consists of specific polyhydroxyl acids and 5-carbon carbohydrate groups, referred to as T.O.G., which are extracted from natural plant tissue. The T.O.G.complexes the elemental calcium ion allowing the ion to be absorbed directly through the leaf and fruit cell walls immediatly. Inorganic forms of calcium must go through ion exchange to be absorbed by the plant, and after entering the plant, readily forms insoluble compounds that are not available for translocation to the fruit. The T.O.G./Calcium complex provides an unique delivery system, which protects the calcium from forming insoluble compounds, enabling more efficient movement of calcium to the fruit where it is needed most.
            The Nutri-Cal(2) 5 carbon carbohydrate groups are of the same elemental makeup as pectin, the gel-like substance that binds cell walls together. As such, it enables more of the calcium from Nutri-Cal to be absorbed and utilized by the pectin to form calcium pectate, which solidifies the gel and strengthens the cell wall against disease and breakdown. Thus, Nutri-Cal treated fruits and vegetabled maintain their quality much longer
            The carboxylic acids play a major role in the metabolism of the plant by enhancing the process of photosynthesis and respiration for improving fruit growth and developement.
