Who is this good for?
1- If you are 40 +, it's important to prevent bone loss density & maintain muscle mass
2- If are you dealing with osteoporosis and arthritis
3- If you often feel tired, weak, irritable, anxious or dealing with insomnia
4- If you have cardiovascular issues or it runs in your family
5- It's good for everyone, to improve overall optimal health!
I personally use CalMag to help me recover from intense gym sessions (muscle mass), to help prevent bone density loss (paske Zo granmoun pa ka pran) & to improve sleep quality (nervous system)!
What is calcium and magnesium good for?
MAGNESIUM
Magnesium supplements help bones form and remain strong. It enables the small mineral crystals that comprise part of your bone structure to increase in density and gain strength. Magnesium is good for allowing your bones to absorb calcium more readily.
Aside from strengthening your skeleton, magnesium is used in over 300 functions within the body with it's benefits including:
1- Establishing a natural energy boost thanks to energy-yielding metabolism
2- Healthy muscle function and relief of muscle tension
3- Electrolyte balance
4- Sleep and relaxation
5- Routine functioning of the nervous system
6- Protein synthesis
CALCIUM
Of all the essential minerals found in your body, calcium is the most abundant. Nearly all of your calcium is stored in your bones and teeth.
Like magnesium, calcium is vital to bone health. It enables bones to develop and grow, keeping them strong and dense up to the age of around 25. After 40, your bones begin to lose density as part of the ageing process. Calcium helps slow this decline.
Calcium also contributes to establishing:
1- Muscle function
2- Normal blood clotting
3- Neurotransmission (nerve cells passing signals to each other
4- Digestive enzyme function
Why calcium needs magnesium to be effective
Your body doesn’t rely on magnesium to absorb calcium. But without it, calcium can become toxic, depositing itself in soft tissues, kidneys, arteries and cartilage rather than in bones where it has the greatest benefit. This can lead to some quite severe health conditions. Balancing calcium with the right amount of magnesium is good for potentially stopping harmful issues occurring.
Signs and Symptoms of Calcium Deficiency and Magnesium Deficiency
Bone Issues
Calcium deficiency can weaken teeth and bones, making them more susceptible to fractures.
In addition, both minerals are involved in bone formation and mineralization, so low levels may contribute to bone loss and increase your risk of osteoporosis.
Muscle Cramps and Spasms
Your muscles are vital for daily activities. Since calcium-magnesium is essential for muscle function, including contraction and relaxation, inadequate levels can lead to muscle cramps, spasms, and weakness.
Nerve Function Impairment
Low calcium levels can disrupt nerve function, leading to symptoms such as tingling sensations, numbness, and – in rare severe cases – seizures.
Cardiovascular Problems
Because the calcium-magnesium duo maintains normal heart rhythm and muscle contraction (including heart muscle), a deficiency in either mineral may increase the risk of heart rhythm abnormalities and cardiovascular issues.
In addition, low magnesium levels may lead to arrhythmias, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease since magnesium also helps to regulate blood pressure.
Fatigue and Weakness
Feeling fatigued could be due to magnesium deficiency. Since this mineral is essential for energy metabolism and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, inadequate levels can lead to fatigue, weakness, and reduced physical performance. But magnesium tablets can help restore your energy.
Nervous System Disorders
Because magnesium is involved in nerve transmission and neurotransmitter regulation, a calcium-magnesium deficiency can lead to symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
