Your body actually needs calcium for more than just your bones and teeth; it is also critical for your muscles, heart, and nervous system. CalMag Plus is pH-balanced, which is essential for the best absorption of calcium. Vitamin D, vitamin K, trace minerals, and boron play specific roles in healthy calcium metabolism, while calcium and magnesium team up with these vital nutrients to promote healthy bone structure, enhance muscle tone and relaxation, and maintain dental health. Magnesium is critical for more than 300 different enzyme systems in the body, plus being necessary for healthy bones and ATP production, which provides cellular energy. Maintain the structure of your bones and muscles, digestive PH balance, and all your cells with CalMag Plus. |
The National Academy of Sciences has recently re-established
recommended intakes for calcium as much as 50% higher than previous
RDA levels; 1,000 mg daily for adults up to 50 years of age, and
1200 mg for adults over 50. Most diets, especially those of teenagers,
provide far lower levels of calcium than these recommendations. Because
bone mass is built predominantly during adolescence and young adult
years, we have to rely on that “bank account” the rest of our lives.
Double-blind studies have substantiated that increased intake of
calcium in the diet leads to increased bone mass in pre-pubertal
girls. This is likely to translate into lifelong healthier bones.
Regular exercise and a healthy diet with enough calcium help teen and young adult white and Asian women maintain good bone health and may reduce their high risk of osteoporosis later in life. Adequate calcium intake is important, but daily intakes above about 2,000mg are not likely to provide any additional benefit.
One remarkable study, done with post-menopausal
women who were already taking hormone replacement therapy,
involved a complete dietary program that included avoiding
processed food, emphasized vegetable over animal protein, limited
salt, sugar, alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco and emphasized
supplementation of magnesium and calcium, along with vitamins
B, C, and D, zinc, copper, manganese, and boron.
The results
showed an amazing average increase in bone density of 11%
after only 9 months in the study group compared to only 0.7%
increase in the women taking hormone replacement alone.
A USDA study also indicated that maintaining
sufficient calcium intake in a woman's daily diet might also
help reduce some of the occasional symptoms associated with
premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and menstrual cramps. |
Unlike
other calcium supplements (many of which supply only calcium),
Life Plus CalMag Plus provides 1000 mg of calcium and 500 mg magnesium
per daily serving. Multiple sources of critically important health-supporting
calcium and magnesium have been assimilated into two proprietary
blends known as PolyCalPlex™ and PolyMagPlex™, consisting of citrates,
lactates, aspartates, and carbonates.
CalMag Plus contains natural vitamin D-3,
usually in short supply during the winter months and required for calcium
utilization. The diets of elderly people generally lack this essential
vitamin.
Also included is the trace element boron,
which appears to beneficially affect the metabolism of calcium, magnesium,
copper, phosphorus, and vitamin D. When soil contains adequate amounts
of boron, it is contained in fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Supplementation
of boron has been associated with reduced loss of calcium in the urine
in clinical research. In addition, extra zinc, copper, and manganese, all
trace minerals important for bone health, are included. CalMag Plus stands out from other calcium
supplements because it contains low-temperature processed concentrates
from three herbal sources of additional synergistic trace and ultra trace
elements:alfalfa (from land), plus kelp and dulse (from the sea). Additionally,
like all Life Plus tableted products, CalMag Plus is formulated in the
exclusive Life Plus PhytoZyme™ Base, which contains specific plant enzymes and concentrates from over 30 specially selected fruit, vegetable, and herbal concentrates, providing extra phytonutrients in addition to the main ingredients in this unique product.
By supplementing with CalMag Plus,you are
assured of receiving your Daily Value of calcium and magnesium, along with
all the other nutrients scientifically known to be important for bone health.
In addition, you benefit from the pH-balancing effects they provide in
support of healthy metabolism. Also, you benefit from the calcium-retaining
power of boron for muscles, heart, nerves, and bones. †
