The forms of calcium and magnesium as calcium and magnesium citrate are optimal absorption by the body and contribute to the overall efficiency of the complex.
Calcium and magnesium: work together as complement each other:
Calcium and magnesium are essential for many functions in the body, particularly for bone density and strength. They also are important for maintaining the health of muscles and nerves. The recommended ratio of calcium to magnesium is 2: 1.
Although calcium is the most important mineral for bone mineralization and calcification, the quality of the calcium crystals formed is dependent on magnesium. When the amount of magnesium is insufficient, the calcium crystals are weaker and can not prevent fractures.
What is calcium and how does it work?
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body (human body contains approximately 1134 g) and 99% of this quantity is contained in bones and teeth. The rest of the calcium is in the blood stream and the fluids surrounding the cell. Calcium is a mineral essential to many biological functions. Calcium absorption worsens with age. If the body does not get enough calcium, it will steal it from the bones, making them more porous and fragile. It is not exaggeration to say that the additional intake of calcium is absolutely necessary for maintaining strong, healthy bones and slowing bone loss.
Calcium is primarily known that contributes to strong bones and teeth. But it also helps maintain normal levels of pH, for the passage of nutrients through the cell membrane, and prevent and reduce the loss of bone density. Calcium may also help reduce heartburn by normalizing stomach acid. It is needed for many functions in the body, such as muscle contraction, blood clotting processes of transmission of nerve impulses. It is recommended for prevention of osteoporotic conditions, allergic and skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis lesions on the liver. Maintain the strength of the cell membranes and necessary for blood clotting. Calcium is an important nutrient for lowering blood pressure. Also plays an important role in the production of hormones and enzymes that regulate digestion and metabolism.
What is magnesium and how does it work?
Magnesium is essential for hundreds of chemical reactions in the body. Acting as a coenzyme (involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions), it contributes to the proper function of nerves and muscles to bone formation and implementation of energy metabolism. Recent studies reveal that it is essential for proper heart function. The body keeps 60% of the magnesium in the bones, 26% - in muscle tissues and the remaining magnesium is stored in the soft tissues of the body.
Many people need extra intake of magnesium as deficiency is common. Some of the reasons are: a diet rich in processed foods; high intake of calcium; stress; intense physical activity; alcoholism and use of certain medications.
Magnesium is necessary for normal muscle function, regulates the transmission of nerve impulses and is an important nutrient for the health of the cardiovascular system. It also promotes the conversion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats into energy and balances and regulates metabolism of calcium, potassium and sodium. Magnesium can strengthen lung function and healthy cholesterol levels and blood sugar. Needed for healthy bones and teeth growth, and has been shown to prevent the formation of kidney stones. It also dilates blood vessels, helping to reduce blood pressure.
