Now Foods Cal-Mag is a unique formula based on an ideal combination of calcium and magnesium. These two synergistic minerals are necessary for healthy bones and teeth as well as contribute to the optimal functioning of the nervous, muscle and cardiovascular system. In addition, the supplement contains vitamin D, which supports magnesium absorption, and boron that is found in trace amounts, but it is vital to the body.

Minerals contained in the product are in the form of citrates. They are organic acidic salts which must not be thus administered with food. They are characterised by the highest assimilability from the digestive tract and definitely higher bioavailability than in other accessible forms of supplementation.

The liquid formulation is convenient for use and does not overload the digestive system. It has a pleasant, blueberry flavour. It does not contain sugar — xylitol is responsible for its taste, which is one of the healthiest low-calorie sweeteners.

Calcium (Ca) is a basic building block and one of the most important minerals in the body. It is a cofactor in many biochemical reactions. Almost 99% of calcium is accumulated in bones and teeth and the rest is found in body fluids and soft tissues.

Calcium contributes to maintaining proper bone density. Its inadequate levels in the body easily lead to demineralisation (the softening of bones), the loss of bone tissue and fractures. Calcium stimulates the release of two crucial substances: calcitonin and parathormone. Calcitonin secreted by the pancreas regulates calcium uptake from the blood to restore its content in bone tissues. Parathormone intensifies calcium absorption in intestines and reduces the excretion from the body.

Calcium affects also the functioning of the muscle system and helps to maintain optimal neurotransmission. It promotes the hydrolysis of ATP into a form that the body can use as energy for muscle contractions. The amount of neurotransmitters released and proper neurotransmission depend on calcium levels in nerve cell membranes. Involuntary muscle contractions and tremors are caused by hypersensitivity of the nerves (known as tetany) are the result of calcium deficiency.

Appropriate high calcium levels reduce the risk of hypertension, especially in people whose high blood pressure is a result of excessive salt consumption. High sodium levels in cells often lead to an increase of blood pressure that can be dangerous to the cardiovascular system.

Calcium is responsible for normal blood clotting — activates prothrombin involved in this process and is necessary for blood platelet formation.

Magnesium (Mg) is one of the most important bioelements for the body. It takes part in all key enzymatic reactions, is involved in photosynthesis and is a cofactor for about 300 different enzymes. Magnesium affects the efficiency of the skeletal, digestive, nervous and cardiovascular system as well as delays ageing processes and strengthens the immune system. 

Up to 60% of magnesium in the body is found in bone tissue. Magnesium forms bone matrix and is essential for the skeletal system. It works closely with calcium — it controls its levels in bones and stimulates calcium binding in tooth enamel. It prevents anomalies such as calcium accumulation in soft tissues (e.g. in the kidneys). It stimulates the activity of vitamin D which facilitates the absorption of calcium.

Magnesium is necessary for a proper functioning of the muscular system. Its action focuses mainly on muscle contraction, that is why preparations with magnesium are often recommended to people with impaired muscle function (e.g. spasms).

Magnesium supports the function of the nervous system. It has a key role in releasing neurotransmitters. Together with calcium, it is responsible for a proper transmission of nerve impulses. Magnesium reduces negative effects of stress, relieves anxiety and tension, has sedative properties and helps fall asleep. In addition, it is involved in energy production. It should be thus supplemented in the case of chronic fatigue.

Magnesium is invaluable for the functioning of the cardiovascular system. It promotes normal heart rhythm, helps to reduce blood platelet aggregation, preventing the formation of dangerous blood clots. It is necessary for the contraction of muscles, including arterial smooth muscles, which promotes blood flow and reduces the pressure put on vessel walls.

Vitamin D regulates calcium-phosphate balance and the mineralisation of bone tissue. It is necessary for normal calcium absorption, improves also the absorption of magnesium. Without vitamin D, even adequate calcium levels in the body do not guarantee a healthy skeleton because it can turn out that the use of this mineral will be impaired. 

Studies show that low levels of vitamin D are often associated with osteomalacia — a serious disease manifested by bone pain, weakness and demineralisation as well as muscle wasting. The supplementation of vitamin D deficiency frequently reverses the disease process and helps to reduce distressing symptoms.

Vitamin D supports cardiovascular health. By regulating calcium balance, it prevents the accumulation of calcium in the arteries which minimises the risk of stroke or heart attack. Vitamin D affects also lipid balance and glucose metabolism as well as protects against hypertension, which is essential in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

Boron (B) is a trace element, but it serves a number of important functions in your body. It determines calcium, copper and magnesium levels. It is necessary for metabolic processes in bones. If calcium supply is adequate and magnesium intake is lowered, boron can replace magnesium in the process of bone development. In the event of a dire shortage of both elements, boron reduces the amounts of magnesium and calcium which are excreted in urine.

Boron affects also the female endocrine system — it enhances the activity of estrogen which is reflected in bone density in women. Some studies suggest that boron is involved in the conversion of vitamin D into more active form necessary for calcium absorption in the intestines.

Liquid Cal-Mag is a safe and effective way to supplement calcium and magnesium deficiency in the body. It contains synergistic substances which assures proper calcium balance in the body. Regular supplementation supports healthy, strong bones as well as a strong and active muscular system

The product can be used as a preventive measure, especially by people struggling with the maintenance of a properly balanced diet which provides an adequate supply of vitamins and minerals. It is indispensable to the elderly and women over 40 which are at an increased risk of osteoporosis. 

Dosage

RECOMMENDATIONS OF MUSCLE-ZONE EXPERTJakub kola

There are many factors inhibiting the absorption of magnesium – among others saturated acids, dietary fiber, alcohol, strong coffee and tea, therefore because of this it is worth washing down the preparation with water and avoiding taking the above mentioned products in combination with the supplement.

It is believed that the most beneficial proportion of calcium to magnesium should be 2:1. These elements and especially magnesium are essential to the proper functioning of enzymes responsible for vitamin D metabolism. Both the proportions of calcium and magnesium as well as the additive of vitamin D has been fulfilled, which makes the composition provided by the producer a complete and effective element of osteoporosis prophylaxis.
