Calcium and magnesium are two of the major minerals found in the body and utilized in a number of functions. While most people have heard of them (at least calcium), few understand the role they play in the body and their importance to so many aspects of health. Vitabase Calcium and Magnesium is a high potency formula providing for excellent absorption.
Calcium is the most plentiful mineral in the body. You are probably aware that it is key to bone and teeth formation but may not realize its importance to the proper functioning of muscles including the most important muscle, the heart. Calcium also aids in blood clotting.
Nearly every segment of the population from babies to the elderly can benefit from increased calcium. Women appear to have the most potential to benefit. In pregnancy increased calcium can improve the baby’s bone mineral content and decrease the risk of preeclampsia. Calcium helps reduce PMS symptoms including mood swings, food cravings, and bloating. It also reduces the risk of strokes, particularly in women. Calcium can also contribute to colon health, dropping the recurrence of polyps. Calcium is best absorbed when combined with Vitamin D, hydrochloric acid, and magnesium.
Magnesium is also a key mineral. It is important to every organ, especially the heart, muscles, and kidneys. It aids in energy production and regulates calcium levels. Because it can improve the absorption of calcium, it is often given to menopausal women who tend to lose bone mass. It can help prevent osteoporosis. Magnesium helps alleviate complications associated with preeclampsia. Women with PMS may experience relief of bloating, weight gain, and breast tenderness.
Vitabase Calcium and Magnesium includes several additional ingredients to improve the efficiency of these minerals. Vitamin D is essential to proper absorption of calcium. It is often overlooked by women treating osteoporosis. Betaine hydrochloride is a source of hydrochloric acid. This acid is needed in the stomach to process calcium. Boron is a trace mineral whose uses are still being discovered. Evidence points to its ability to increase absorption and retention of calcium and magnesium. This may be especially important for prevent bone mass density lost due to osteoporosis.
