CALCIUM, MAGNESIUM AND BORON
Calcium is an essential mineral required for the maintenance of healthy bones and strong teeth. It is one of the most common mineral deficiencies in a woman’s body. Magnesium is needed for bone, protein and fatty acid formation and is usually present at half the amount of calcium in good combination products. It is also known as the anti-stress mineral.
The Benefits of Calcium, Magnesium and D3
Osteoporosis - 20% of adult bone is replaced every year and therefore a regular supply of calcium and magnesium is essential for maintaining bone density.
Osteoarthritis - due to the support these products give to bone structure they are obviously important in the ‘wear and tear’ arthritis.
Menopause/Postmenopause - menopausal women have a higher risk of heart disease and osteoporosis. Postmenopausal women, who are likely to have low magnesium levels, are more vulnerable to blood clots and also tend to have less energy making them more prone to weight gain.
Heart Health - calcium helps to keep the heart beat regular and magnesium helps to prmote a healthy cardiovascular system and helps prevent heart attacks.
Insomnia - calcium has been shown to help alleviate insomnia and this is probably one reason why a good milky drink before bed helps people sleep.
Nervous system - both calcium and magnesium are important in the normal functioning of muscles, nerves and nerve impulses.
Properties
Calcium - helps metabolise the body's iron and is vital for the production if bones and teeth. Adequate calcium levels prevent the deficiency disease rickets and osteomalacia (a disease characterised by softening of the bones).
Magnesium - necessary for calcium and vitamin C metabolism as well as that of sodium, potassium and phosphorus. It is also important in the conversion of blood sugar into energy and is also thought to prevent calcium deposits in the kidneys.
Contra-indications / Precautions
This supplement should be avoided by people with hyperparathyroidism, kidney disease and ulcers unless otherwise advised by a GP. Calcium supplements may cause constipation, wind and bloating in some individuals although this is an unusual occurrence. Magnesium may cause diarrhoea in some cases. |
