Why should calcium and magnesium be taken together?
Calcium and magnesium work together in many metabolic processes[2].
A lack of magnesium in the body can lead to low calcium serum levels and an increased amount of calcium will affect magnesium levels in the body.[3] For these reasons, it is important that calcium and magnesium are taken in the correct ratio .
With Now Foods Calcium & Magnesium you get a combination preparation with 500 mg magnesium and 1000 mg calcium per dosage. This corresponds to the recommended ratio of 1:2 of magnesium to calcium.
What effect does zinc have?
Like calcium and magnesium, zinc is a mineral. Due to its low concentration in the body, it is a trace element.
Zinc plays an important role in the functioning of the immune system, but is also essential for bones, hair, nails and skin. In addition, zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and supports cell protection against oxidative stress.
What effect does vitamin D3 have?
With Now Foods Calcium & Magnesium you receive an additional 15 mcg of vitamin D3 per dosage. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) ensures that calcium from food is optimally absorbed in the intestine. It thus supports the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. Vitamin D3 also plays an important role in the function of the immune system.
