Description

DESCRIPTION

Calcium & Magnesium Plus formula is designed to provide

the structural components, as well as help support some of the

complex biochemical and physiological processes involved in

building and maintaining strong, healthy bone structure. Each

tablet provides 500 mg of calcium and 250 mg of magnesium.

FUNCTIONS

The adult human body contains approximately 1,200 g of

calcium, about 99% of which is present in the skeleton, and

20-30 g of magnesium with about 60% located in bone. The

process of building and maintaining bone structure involves

numerous biochemical and physiological processes.

Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are the two primary types of bone

cells involved in maintaining skeletal structure. Osteoblasts

are responsible for bone mineralization (building new bone).

Osteoclasts are responsible for secreting acid and enzymes

that help dissolve “old” bone tissue into calcium and other

components, some of which may be reused by the body. This

process is known as “resorption.” In children and adolescents,

the rate of formation of bone mineral predominates over the

rate of resorption. In later life, resorption predominates over

formation. Therefore, in normal aging, there is a gradual loss

of bone.

It is generally accepted that obtaining enough dietary

calcium throughout life can significantly decrease the risk

of developing osteoporosis. Among other factors, such as

regular exercise, gender and race, calcium supplementation

during childhood and adolescence appears to be a prerequisite

for maintaining adequate bone density later in life. But even

elderly osteoporotic patients can benefit significantly from

supplementation with dietary calcium. Other nutrients like

boron, an essential trace mineral, are required for various

hormonal process that impact bone health, and help support

the functions of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D.

INDICATIONS

Calcium & Magnesium Plus may be a useful dietary

supplement for those looking to augment their calcium and

magnesium intake without having to take numerous pills.

SUGGESTED USE

Adults take 1 tablet, 2 times daily with food or as directed by a

healthcare professional.
