Discussion: A formula of 50% calcium and 50% magnesium, each chelated in multi-form, plant-derived (aspartate, arginate,citrate, malate, succinate) and micronized for maximum absorption by the body. These are vital bone and muscle minerals. Calcium and Magnesium work in synnergy with one another.

Naturopathic doctors usually recommend 6 capsules per day as a maintenance supply for a healthy adult. To reverse a specific condition (i.e. raising pH or building bone density), a N.D often recommends a double dose. To address a chronic condition, a N.D. often recommends a triple dose. No known toxicity level exists. Numerous people take upwards of 20 grams of Cal/Mag per day for many years with only positive reports. As an added benefit, taking our Cal/Mag an hour before bed-time promotes a very restful night's sleep.

Additional Note: Vitamin D May Show Benefit Against Breast and Colorectal Cancers…Review and meta-analysis of several studies led researchers from several institutions to determine that an increased daily intake of vitamin D may significantly correlate with reduced incidences of colorectal and breast cancer. The breast cancer study pooled dose-response data from two earlier studies of 1,760 subjects. Subjects with the highest serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, or 25(OH)D (50 nanograms per milliliter), had a fifty percent lower risk of breast cancer compared to those with the lowest blood concentrations; less than or equal to 10 nanograms per milliliter. The colorectal cancer meta-analysis looked at five studies of 1,448 Caucasian subjects. The authors estimate a two-thirds reduction in incidence with serum concentrations of 46 nanograms per milliliter, corresponding to a daily intake of 2,000 IU of vitamin D3. The researchers state the best way to achieve these concentrations is a combination of diet, supplements and 10 to 15 minutes per day in the sun.
