Calcium has been one of the most widely supplemented nutrients in the world since it was first recognized for its crucial role in bone mineral density. However, research has come a long way since this discovery, recognizing the importance of other nutrients such as magnesium and vitamin D3 for skeletal health.

Additionally, these nutrients work together to improve health outcomes beyond bone health. Various blends of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D3 have been shown to be beneficial in clinical trials for premenstrual cramps, muscle cramps, leg cramps during pregnancy, preeclampsia, and even heartburn.

These three nutrients have unique and interconnected relationships. The actions of calcium and magnesium are opposite in the musculoskeletal system, with calcium required for muscle contraction and magnesium required for muscle relaxation. Vitamin D3 is necessary for calcium absorption from the digestive tract, while magnesium is needed to activate enzymes related to vitamin D3 metabolism. In fact, people who are well-endowed with magnesium are much less likely to be vitamin D3 deficient. A deficiency in any of these nutrients can disrupt the body's overall balance.

Although there is no definitive research to establish the optimal ratio of calcium to magnesium, evidence shows that diets high in calcium can deplete magnesium stores and decrease magnesium absorption. With this in mind, a calcium to magnesium ratio of 2:1 or 3:1 is generally accepted as well-balanced in the general population.

The mineral form can have a significant impact on absorption rates. Research shows that calcium citrate is significantly better absorbed than calcium carbonate. Citrate forms do not require adequate stomach acid for optimal absorption, unlike calcium carbonate, which is severely affected by low stomach acid.

Cal-Mag + 1000 IU Liquid Vitamin D3 provides 500 mg of elemental calcium, 200 mg of elemental magnesium, and 1000 IU of vitamin D3 per tablespoon. Both minerals are provided in a highly bioavailable citrate form. The blend is low in sweetness with a natural blueberry flavor. The great taste and liquid delivery of Cal-Mag + 1000 IU Liquid Vitamin D3 work to significantly improve patient compliance with your prescription.
