About the product

Calcium is an essential mineral abundant in the human body. Located predominantly in the bones and teeth, where it provides hard tissue with its strength, calcium is present and plays a critical role in other tissues functioning as well. It is important for smooth muscle contractions and cardiovascular health; it is also required for blood clotting and nerve cell’s function. Lack of enough calcium can affect all parts of the body, resulting in muscle aches and cramps, slower hair growth, thin skin, weak nails, and lack of energy. However, calcium's most well-known role is its importance for preventing bone loss/osteoporosis. Magnesium and vitamin D are another two essential nutrients that are necessary for the physiologic functions of various organs. As in our body nutrients usually act in a coordinated manner, the absorption and use of a particular nutrient is most of the time dependent on the availability of other nutrients. In fact, calcium intake, when combined with sufficient vitamin D may help reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis. Moreover, calcium may not be fully utilized if not taken in combination with another important mineral, magnesium. Magnesium is actually the key to the body’s proper assimilation and use of calcium and influences extracellular calcium levels. Magnesium helps bones form and remain strong. In addition, magnesium has an important role in energy production, digestion, muscle relaxation and assists as well in the activation of vitamin D. The effectiveness and clinical benefits of vitamin D might not be achieved without the adequate presence of magnesium. Conversely, vitamin D is an important factor for magnesium absorption, but as well reduces inflammation, supports immune function, growth and development.
