CAL-MAG -120 CAPS

Cal / Mag 120's

The synergistic relationship between these two minerals is well known. This particularcombination can also be taken at bedtime to enhance sleep. Doubling the calciumconcentration to the magnesium gives excellent absorbability properties. The mineralsare chelated to glycinates for enhanced absorption. Some South African soils arelow in magnesium levels and hence the magnesium status of many individuals is low.

Benefits and how it works:

Both calcium and magnesium are major minerals for our bodies with a variety ofvital complex reactions.

Calcium glycinate – Although calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body,most adults get half the calcium needed each day. Eating enough calcium rich foodsmay be difficult, and absorption is complex and can be poor. Supplementation isoften our best bet. The majority of the body’s calcium is stored in the bones andteeth, where it provides strength and structure. The small amount circulating inthe bloodstream helps to move nutrients across cell membranes and plays a role inproducing the hormones and enzymes that regulate digestion and metabolism. Calciumis also needed for normal communication among nerve cells, for blood clotting, woundhealing and for muscle contraction. To have enough of this mineral available inthe blood to perform vital functions, the body will steal it from the bones. Overtime, too many calcium withdrawals leave bones porous and fragile. An adequate dailycalcium intake assists in maintaining healthy calcium levels in the bloodstream. 

Magnesium glycinate – magnesium is involved in over 300 reactions in the bodysuch as energy production, nerve function, muscle relaxation and bone and toothformation. Magnesium may help to prevent or combat many chronic diseases. In conjunctionwith calcium and potassium, magnesium regulates heart rhythm and blood clotting.It also aids in the production and use of insulin. Because magnesium relaxes muscles,it is useful for sports injuries and fibromyalgia. It can also ease PMS and menstrualcramps and increase bone density in postmenopausal women by helping prevent theonset of osteoporosis. It has been known to expand airways, aiding in the treatmentof asthma and bronchitis.
