Stronger bones - best combination punch

Calcium and Magnesium are essential to many bodily functions, particularly for bone density and strength. They also are important to maintaining muscle and nerve health. Calcium and Magnesium work together synergistically. The recommended ratio of calcium to magnesium is 2:1. Although Calcium is the central mineral in bone mineralization or calcification, the quality of the Calcium crystals formed is dependent on Magnesium. When Magnesium levels are inadequate, the Calcium crystals are weaker permitting fractures to occur. This occurs regardless of recommended
daily consumption of Calcium supplements. Moreover, muscle function requires both Calcium and Magnesium; Calcium helps muscles contract while Magnesium helps them relax.
This formula uses the citrate salt of Calcium; Calcium Citrate has been documented to be well absorbed and utilized by the body. Published studies suggest that Calcium Citrate may be the optimal form of Calcium supplementation; these studies concluded that individuals might benefit more by taking a Calcium Citrate supplement as opposed to common Calcium Carbonate supplements. These studies compared the Calcium absorption of a Calcium Citrate formulation and a Calcium Carbonate formulation after an oral dose of 500 mg taken with a meal. After measuring blood levels of Calcium, they demonstrated that Calcium Citrate is 2.5 times more bioavailable than Calcium Carbonate. Studies show that Magnesium Citrate is more soluble and better absorbed than other forms of Magnesium. Citrate
does not appear to cause as many gastrointestinal symptoms often associated with other forms of Magnesium.
