90% of the calcium the body needs supports bone health, which includes the health of teeth. The other 10% supports muscle function, which (notably) includes the heart muscles.
But...Calcium works best with other minerals!
Without balance with other minerals, calcium deposits can form, causing problems that include kidney stones. Cal Mag Complete provides calcium balanced with nutrients like manganese that encourage proper absorption and use in the body.
Magnesium and Vitamin D work together to promote bone health A small amount of Boron helps the body retain calcium and magnesium in the body (as well as regulates sex hormones) Zinc encourages osteoblast (bone forming cells) Copper is included to balance against zinc—both are necessary, but compete for absorption—balance is key! Manganese promotes Calcium absorption Plus Vitamin C, Potassium and Methysulfonymethane (a source of sulfur)! There are also over 70 trace elements derived from land based plants that support the body as well as bone formation!
Although Calcium is a necessary nutrient, it may compete with some drugs for absorption, including antibiotics. Take any medications at a different time of day than you take Cal Mag Complete.
If you are taking more than one capsule a day, try and distribute them throughout the day rather than all at once for better absorption. (Calcium is a “large mineral”, the GI tract can only absorb so much at once).
You can also take Cal Mag Complete by opening the capsule (grab both ends then twist in opposite directions) and sprinkling it into your food.
As an Adult dietary supplement take 1 to 5 Capsules per day (1-2 Capsules with a meal) and 1-3 capsules at bedtime or as directed by your Health Care Practitioner.
Advance Use: Take up to double the above or as directed by your Health Care Practitioner.
Drinking Orange juice or other citrus juices may increase the effectiveness of this product.
Best Calcium Supplement with Magnesium - Ingredient Summary
Calcium Mineral Complex (CMC) Calcium (Ca) is an essential alkaline
nutrient element required by every cell in the body and is the most abundent mineral
in the body. Calcium (Ca) is an essential alkaline nutrient element required by
every cell in the body and is the most abundent mineral in the body.
Calcium (Coral carbonate) Calcium (Ca) is an essential alkaline
nutrient element required by every cell in the body and is the most abundent
mineral in the body. Calcium (Ca) is an essential alkaline nutrient element
required by every cell in the body and is the most abundent mineral in the body.
Magnesium (Glycinate Chelate) The element magnesium is an essential
mineral involved in over 350 biochemical actions in the body. Magnesium relaxes
smooth muscle, helps dilate blood vessels and maintains blood flow.
Methylsulfonyl Methane (MSM) MSM is a bioavailable naturally
occurring, dietary source of sulfur and a metabolite of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)
Glucosamine (Complex) Glucosamine is an amino sugar is a constituent
of cartilage proteoglycans, required for the synthesis of glycoproteins, glycolipids
and glycosaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides). These are carbohydrate-containing
compounds found in tendons, ligaments, cartilage, synovial fluid, mucous membranes,
structures in the eye, blood vessels and heart valves.
Potassium (from Glucosamine KnaCl, Amino acid chelate) The
essential alkali mineral Potassium is the major cation inside the cells and
important in the maintainence of fluid and electrolyte balance in all body systems.
Vitamin C Ascorbate Vitamin C as an ascorbate is an essential
nutrient required for metabolic reactions. Vitamin C is an effective antioxidant,
an ascorbate peroxidase substrate, an enzyme cofactor for the biosynthesis of
many biochemicals and an electron donor for enzymes. The active form of vitamin
C is the ascorbate ion, a strong reducing agent that gets converted to its oxidized
form, L-dehydroascorbate in the body by enzymes and glutathione. It is a weak
sugar acid structurally related to glucose, which naturally occurs either attached
to a hydrogen ion (ascorbic acid), or to a mineral ion (a mineral ascorbate).
The biological halflife for vitamin C is about 30 minutes in blood plasma.
Zinc (Monomethionine) The second most ocurring essential nutrient
is zinc. Zinc is involved in about 3000 different protein complexes in the body.
Manganese (citrate) Manganese is an essential trace nutrient
whose ions function as cofactors for a number of enzyme activities and is required
in all our body's cells and our friendly bacteria lactobacilli.
Boron (Amino Acid Chelate) The element Boron is an essential
mineral. Boron plays a role in cell-membrane functions that influence response
to hormone action, trans-membrane signaling and trans-membrane movement of regulatory
ions (i.e. parathyroid secretes a hormone that contains boron). Boron acts as
a metabolic regulator in several enzymatic systems (i.e. boron inhibit the activity
of serine protease enzymes).
Copper (Glycinate Chelate) Copper is an essential nutrient
found primarily in the bloodstream, as a co-factor in various enzymes, and in
copper-based body pigments. Zinc and copper compete for absorption in the digestive
tract so a dietary 10:1 balance must be maintained to prevent a deficiency.
Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) The sun’s ultraviolet rays
penetrate the skin, and, through a local chemical reaction followed by systemic
absorption and subsequent metabolism, a prohormone called 7-dehydrocholesterol
in the skin is eventually converted into circulating vitamin D. Vitamin D is
a fat soluble prohormone (a broken-open steroids called a secosteroid), that
is converted in the liver and kidney to become the hormone 1,25-D (physiologically
active form of a protein bound vitamin D). Vitamin D is necessary for utilization
of calcium and phosphorus and iin the body as a hormone. The two important forms
of vitamin D are cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), which is identical to that derived
from a cholesterol molecule and synthesized by sunlight on the skin and ergocalciferol
(Vitamin D2), a plant analogue derived from the diet. Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol)
a natural dietary secosteroid to our body's internal 1,25-Hydroxyvitamin D3
is essential for bone growth and maintenance of bone density.
