Cal-Mag Stress Formula with B-Complex & Vitamin C - 100 Tablets NOW Foods

Calcium Competency
More than 99% of your body’s Calcium is stored in your bones and teeth to support their structure and strength. As you age, bone loss is a gradual process, so the stronger your bones are when their strength peaks at about 30 years of age, the more you can delay bone loss in later years. But Calcium supplements have been shown to work best – at not just slowing bone loss, but at increasing bone strength with age – when combined with synergistic nutrients like Magnesium and Vitamin D, as in NOW Cal-Mag.

Magnesium Mantra
The World Health Organization reports that nearly 75% of American adults do not get the recommended daily value of Magnesium, making supplements of this important nutrient more important than ever. Magnesium is one of 7 macro-minerals considered essential for human health. It contributes to bone formation and mineralization, helping you strengthen and maintain health bones and teeth. In addition, it plays a role in regulation of muscle and nerve activity by influencing permeability of your cell membranes and functioning as an electrolyte to help maintain the charge balance in your body’s fluids.

D3 Dynamism
NOW Cal-Mag also provides Vitamin D3 has been shown to help regulate calcium and phosphorus, leading to strong, healthy bones. It’s also a necessity for bone growth and formation, and a deficiency can lead to increased risk of bone fractures and osteoporosis.

Better Together
NOW Cal-Mag brings together these three essential nutrients to work synergistically for your benefit. While Calcium has long been portrayed as the key nutrient for bone health, research indicates that it produces superior results when combined with Vitamin D and Magnesium. Vitamin D works to facilitate effective absorption of the Calcium, and Magnesium’s role here is to help keep Calcium out of your soft tissues and in your bones, where you need it most. One example of this synergism comes from a study of fractures in postmenopausal women, which found a decreased risk of fracture in women who took Vitamin D3 supplements, but an even more significant decrease when Calcium was added to the supplement intake. Another study published in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association determined that Vitamin D is metabolized most efficiently when taken with Magnesium. Three cheers for this powerful threesome in NOW Cal-Mag!
