Calcium-Magnesium Complex™
The most bioavailable and unique form of chelated Calcium Magnesium

Bone is living body tissue. It constantly breaks down and regenerates itself. Calcium is the main key to healthy bone structure. Playing complementary roles, magnesium helps the body to absorb calcium while calcium is necessary for the body to assimilate magnesium.

The small amounts of calcium circulating in the bloodstream helps to move nutrients across cell membranes and plays a role in producing enzymes and hormones that regulate metabolism and digestion. Calcium is also needed for normal communication between nerve cells, wound healing and muscle contraction. To have enough calcium available in the blood to perform these vital functions, the body will "steal" it from the bones.

Studies strongly support that calcium plays a protective role in colon cancer and help to lower blood pressure. Lead toxicity is a significant health problem especially in urban areas. Exposure to lead, even in small amounts can lead to learning disabilities, behavioral problems and low 10s. Adequate calcium intake is known to decrease gastrointestinal absorption of lead.

Osteoporosis strikes one in every three women around the world (1998 World Health Report). Only adequate daily calcium intakes will maintain healthy levels in the blood and ample reserves for the bones.

Magnesium helps in creating strong bones, helps to normalize muscle contractions and nerve impulses, help regulate heart rhythm and produce key protein factors in healthy tissues and cells.

Magnesium also plays a role in the production and use of insulin and helps the body to use sugar properly. Magnesium relaxes muscles and is useful for sports related injuries.

Calcium and magnesium regulate contractions of blood vessels to keep blood flowing smoothly. Calcium and magnesium is also able to ease PMS and menstrual cramps. In several recent studies, women who consume high levels of these minerals experience fewer episodes of PMS, while older women given supplements experienced relief from PMS.

The amount of mineral absorbed is more important than the quantity consumed. So it is important to use absorption as a way of measuring the benefits. Chelation is a process which binds a mineral to an amino acid or protein to improve their absorption rate. For example:

• Inorganic calcium is absorbed at 17%. Chelated calcium is absorbed at 44%. (Thus the chelate is absorbed 3 times as much as the inorganic mineral).
• Inorganic magnesium is absorbed at 16%. Chelated magnesium is absorbed at 87%. (Thus the chelate is absorbed 5 times as much as the inorganic mineral).

The unique calcium-magnesium powder is chelated and easily blended with liquid for quick absorption by the body. This is the newest technology, the leading edge of nutritional research and development.

Recommended Use:
Take 1 teaspoonful in water or juice daily.
