A balanced formulation of two important macrominerals, in the highly bioavailable citrate forms.

Supplementing with calcium is essential for individuals who are on a dairy-free diet. Adequate calcium levels are necessary to maintain healthy bones, teeth, heart, muscles, blood coagulation, and immune system function.

Magnesium is an essential mineral that is important for adequate calcium absorption, cellular metabolism and overall healthy body functioning. The symptoms of magnesium deficiency can include poor appetite, anxiety, mental confusion, weakness, fatigue, confusion, sleep disturbances, and muscles spasms and twitching.

It is important to be aware that magnesium can cause loose stools and/or diarrhea when given in higher doses. If these symptoms appear, reduce the dosage until bowel movements normalize. For individuals following a dairy free diet, additional calcium supplementation (without magnesium) may be necessary to supply adequate calcium without exceeding the magnesium recommended dosage.

Scientific studies have shown that calcium and magnesium react with oxalate in food to make an insoluble salt that cannot be absorbed. The citrate portion of the molecule counteracts this effect.
