It is well known that Calcium is important in relation to cholesterol, but even I was amazed at what happened to my mother-in-law within two weeks of taking Xtreme X2O.

My mother-in-Law is a fit woman for her age (early 70's) and plays golf, but she takes thyroxin for an underactive thyroid gland and has been diagnosed with a 'leaky' heart valve for which she had surgery and has been taking warfarin. As a result, she has to have regular blood tests to keep an eye on her health.

Last month, she agreed to start taking Xtreme X2O, and although very skeptical, has taken it religiously - one 'tea bag'  every day.

Last week, following a routine blood test, the GP said that she would need to come back. Naturally, my mother-in-law was more than a bit concerned and asked 'why?'. What was wrong?

Well, it turned out that nothing was wrong at all. In fact, quite the reverse. Something was strange - something he had never seen before - but it was actually very good. 'What was it?' she asked.

It turned out that her blood cholesterol had made a radical change for the better since her last blood test. Her HDL ('good') cholesterol had increased. The GP couldn't explain it and had never seen this happen before and wanted her to see the Consultant. Having no idea that Xtreme X2O could affect cholesterol, my mother-in-law  thought nothing of it, until she mentioned the incident to my wife, and my wife related it to me.

Having read up on Coral Calcium I knew that this was, most likely, the result of Xtreme X2O. According to a 2002 study in the American Journal of Medicine*, calcium supplements can increase levels of HDL. Researchers followed 200 post-menopausal women taking either a calcium supplement or a placebo for one year and found that, on average, women taking 1 gram of Calcium daily increased their HDL by 7 per cent and improved their HDL to LDL ('bad') cholesterol ratio. The findings of this report declared that women who take Calcium supplements may be able to reduce their risk of heart disease by 20-30%!!!

Xtreme X2O being a superior Calcium supplement, being in an 'ionic' form and therefore fully bioavailable , absorbed and utilised by the body can produce VERY fast changes. In my mother-in-law's case, less than TWO weeks!
