Calcium & Magnesium
90 tablets Item # 16381
Calcium and magnesium are often consumed in amounts considered insufficient to support good health.
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and is primarily found in the bones and teeth. In addition to its well-known role in bone health, calcium encourages healthy nervous system and muscle function. Calcium also supports blood vessel contraction and expansion, secretion of hormones and enzymes, and the delivery of messages through the nervous system.1
A meta-analysis of 40 trials that included a total of 2,492 participants concluded that an adequate intake of calcium may help maintain healthy blood pressure.2
Magnesium helps relax the smooth muscles within blood vessels, which supports healthy peripheral vascular resistance and encourages healthy cardiovascular function and blood flow.3 Magnesium also helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels.4
Magnesium plays an important role in the nervous system and helps support healthy brain function. This mineral can also modulate the signaling of serotonin and other neurotransmitters, and adequate magnesium intake may promote a healthy mood.5
Magnesium, along with calcium and other minerals, is an essential component of a healthy bone matrix. A well-mineralized bone matrix helps maintain strong, healthy bones.6 Magnesium also promotes healthy metabolic factors and protects against oxidative stress.7,8
