Natural Vitality Calm Magnesium & Calcium Supplement | Drink Mix Powder | Raspberry Lemon Flavor | 16 oz

Natural Vitality Natural Calm PLUS Calcium Anti-Stress Drink: Calcium is an important nutrient essential for maintaining total body health. Your body needs it every day—not just to keep your bones and teeth strong, but to ensure proper functioning of muscles and nerves. It even helps your blood to clot. Magnesium also helps your muscles function properly; it keeps your heart rhythm steady and supports a healthy immune system. This essential mineral helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure and is required for producing and storing energy. It’s easy to see why many researchers say that no single dietary factor is as critical as magnesium. Calcium Needs Magnesium: Magnesium is necessary for over 300 different biochemical processes, such as digestion, energy production and the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. It is also needed for bone strength, muscle strength and proper functioning of the heart and nervous system. While calcium requires magnesium, magnesium does not require calcium and can be safely and beneficially taken on its own. A Matter of Balance: In the United States we are consuming about 10 times more calcium than magnesium. Very few calcium supplements incorporate magnesium and when they do, there is often an imbalance of twice as much calcium as magnesium. Calcium deficiency can be a serious issue. We have, however, compounded the problem by promoting calcium supplementation without magnesium.
