Calcium and Magnesium, for Overall Health

Do I need calcium and magnesium for more than just my bones and teeth? 

Calcium and magnesium are two of the most important of all nutrients. Your body needs them for more than just bones and teeth; they are 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.

We Need up To 1200 mg Of Calcium Daily

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 2,000  mg are not likely to provide any additional benefit.

Holistic Nutritional Program Shows Dramatic Results

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.

Boron Supports Proper Metabolism of Calcium

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.
