Overview:
Calcium and magnesium are essential to many bodily functions, particularly for bone density and strength. They also are important to maintaining muscle and nerve health. Calcium and magnesium work together synergistically. The recommended ratio of calcium to magnesium is 2:1. Although calcium is the central mineral in bone mineralization or calcification, the quality of the calcium crystals formed is dependent on magnesium. When magnesium levels are inadequate, the calcium crystals are weaker permitting fractures to occur.

This occurs regardless of recommended daily consumption of calcium supplements. Muscle function requires both calcium and magnesium; calcium helps muscles contract and magnesium helps them relax.

Vitasunn Cal/Mag Citrate uses the citrate salt of calcium; calcium citrate has been documented to be well absorbed and utilized by the body.

Published studies suggest that calcium citrate may be the optimal form of calcium supplementation, these studies concluded that individuals might benefit more by taking a calcium citrate supplement as opposed to common calcium carbonate supplements. These studies compared the calcium absorption of a calcium citrate formulation and a calcium carbonate formulation after an oral dose of 500 mg calcium, taken with a meal. After measuring blood levels of calcium, they demonstrated that calcium citrate is 2.5 times more bioavailable than calcium carbonate.

If constipation is an issue, calcium citrate is also a better option than calcium carbonate.

Studies show that magnesium citrate is more soluble and better absorbed than other forms of magnesium. Citrate does not appear to cause as many gastrointestinal symptoms as are associated with some other forms of magnesium.

Vitasunn Cal/Mag Citrate is formulated to the recommended ratio, and is delivered in a vegetarian tablet.

CALCIUM Overview:
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body (the human body contains approximately 2.5 pounds) and 99% of this is stored in the bones and teeth. The remaining Calcium is in the bloodstream and the fluids surrounding the cells.

It is an essential mineral with a wide range of biological functions. Calcium absorption declines with age. If the body does not get enough calcium, it will rob it from the bones, causing them to become porous and fragile. It cannot be over-stressed that calcium supplementation is of major importance for maintaining strong, healthy bones and slowing bone loss.

Research Indicates:   

• Promotes strong bones and teeth  
• Important nutrient for lowering blood pressure  
• Helps maintain normal PH levels  
• Required nutrient for muscle contraction  
• Necessary nutrient for healthy blood clotting 
• Assists in transmission of nerve impulses 
• Helps move nutrients across cell membranes 
• May support healthy cholesterol levels 
• Helps prevent and minimize progressive bone loss 
• Regulates the transmission of nerve impulses
• May help reduce heartburn by normalizing stomach acid 
• Plays an important role in producing hormones and enzymes that regulate digestion and metabolism   

Dosage:
The RDA for Calcium is 1000 mgs per day.

Cautions:
Calcium may interfere with absorption of some medications such as the tetracycline antibiotics, consult a health care practitioner prior to using Calcium if you are taking these.  

Persons with kidney or thyroid disease should consult their health care practitioner before taking calcium. Very high doses of calcium have been shown to cause kidney stones for some people. If you are pregnant or lactating consult your health care practitioner prior to using Calcium.

MAGNESIUM Overview:
Magnesium is essential for hundreds of chemical reactions in the body. It functions as a coenzyme (it participates in over 300 enzymatic reactions!) for proper function of nerves and muscles, formation of bones and energy metabolism. 
Recent studies suggest that is of particular importance for proper heart function.

Magnesium works synergistically with calcium by increasing its absorption and may increase bone density as well. In fact, the body stores 60% of its magnesium in the bones, 26% is in the muscle tissues and the remaining magnesium is stored in the soft tissues of the body. Magnesium supplementation is necessary for many people; as deficiency is quite common.

Some of the reasons for deficiency include: diet high in processed foods, high calcium intake, stress, intense physical activity, alcoholism, and the use of certain medications.

Research Indicates:   

• Important nutrient for cardiovascular health  
• Necessary for healthy bone and tooth growth 
• Helps convert carbohydrates, proteins and fats into energy
• Involved in the transmission of nerve impulses and muscle contractions  
• Balances and regulates metabolism of calcium, potassium and sodium 
• Shown to inhibit formation of kidney stones 
• Required for normal muscular function 
• May support healthy cholesterol levels 
• May support healthy lung function

The RDA for magnesium is 400 mg.

If you have kidney disease, heart disease or are pregnant or lactating consult your health care practitioner prior to using magnesium.
