Did you know that calcium is the most abundant mineral in the entire body?? It’s also one of the most important minerals involved in bone health – optimal amounts can reduce bone loss by 30-50%! Calcium is needed for more than just healthy bones, it’s also needed for optimal function from your muscles (think, your heart!), nerves, and blood vessels.
Magnesium is another one of those important minerals that aids in keeping bones healthy and helps to prevent bone loss! It’s also the key to calcium absorption – these two minerals share a complementary relationship. This means that they depend on each other for their efficacy.
Our bodies respond to stress (whether we realize we are stressed or not) by depleting magnesium levels, so a balanced calcium-magnesium supplement can be extremely beneficial. Without the balance of magnesium, the body risks an accumulation of calcium and this can become toxic over a prolonged period of time. This is because magnesium keeps the calcium OUT of the soft tissues, and IN the bones where it’s needed!
Here are a few benefits of taking a calcium-magnesium supplement!
- Promotes healthy muscle and nerve function.
- Promotes bowel movement regulation.
- Improves sleep.
- Reduces risk of high blood pressure.
- Supports exercise recovery.
According to the World Health Organization statistics, 75% of the US adult population does not meet the US Food and Drug Administration’s Recommended Daily Intake of magnesium – which is 420mg/day! When it comes to calcium, over 40% of the United States population does not meet the Recommended Daily Intake from diet alone. This is where having a GOOD supplementation comes in.
