Cal/Mag w/Cofactors: provides key nutrients to promote calcium utilization and enhance healthy bone mineralization. This unique formula combines highly bioavailable forms of calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, silica, boron and xylitol in a lemon-lime flavored powder for convenient dosing.*
Uses For Cal/Mag w/Cofactors
Bone Health: Randomized, double blind,
placebocontrolled studies have reported statistically significant
benefits of calcium supplementation for bone health. Magnesium, like
calcium, is an essential bone matrix mineral that promotes healthy bone
metabolism. A trial involving 2,038 older individuals indicated that
higher intakes of magnesium were positively associated with bone
mineralization for certain individuals. Vitamin D promotes intestinal
calcium and phosphorous absorption and reduces urinary calcium loss,
essential mechanisms for maintaining healthy calcium levels in the body
and for healthy bone composition. A recent 7-year study involving 36,282
women indicated that combined supplementation of calcium and vitamin D
promoted healthy hip bones. Boron supports calcium, phosphorous,
magnesium and vitamin D metabolism and plays a role in reducing urinary
calcium and magnesium excretion. In addition, it strengthens the
connective structure in bone matrix. Silica is a component of connective
tissue and studies have suggested that it supports bone and collagen
formation. A cross-sectional study involving 2,847 people suggests that
optimal silicon intake is positively related to bone mineral health,
particularly for cortical bone. Research suggests xylitol may help
facilitate intestinal absorption and retention of calcium, as well as
promote healthy bone structure and strength.*
What Is The Source?
Calcium, magnesium and boron are derived from the lime of
rock. Citrate is derived from corn dextrose fermentation. Vitamin D3 is
derived from lanolin. Xylitol is derived from corn cob and purified to
be free of corn protein. Silica is derived from bamboo stem (bambusa
vulgaris) extract. Natural flavor is derived from lemon and lime. Lo han
(momordica grosvenori) extract is derived from the fruit.
