Cal/Mag 1001 - 90 Tablets

Cal/Mag 1001 Cal/Mag 1001 tablets provide 500 mg of elemental calcium and 500 mg of elemental magnesium to provide a 1:1 dose ratio of calcium to magnesium. Other nutrients including boron, glutamic acid, Vitamin C and D-3 are also included to assist the body in maintaining healthy bone structure. The adult human body contains approximately 1,200 g of calcium, about 99% of which is present in the skeleton, and 20-30 g of magnesium with about 60% located in bone. Bone is constantly turning over, a continuous process of formation and resorption. In children and adolescents, the rate of formation of bone mineral predominates over the rate of resorption. In later life, resorption predominates over formation. Therefore, in normal aging, there is a gradual loss of bone. Intestinal calcium absorption ranges from 15 to 75% of ingested calcium. Vitamin D is a key regulatory hormone for calcium and bone metabolism. Adequate vitamin D status is essential for ensuring normal calcium absorption and
