Calcium is probably the first mineral we think of when we think of bone health. It is the most abundant mineral in our bodies. To properly use calcium, however, we need magnesium and Vitamin D. Cal Mag by DaVinci Laboratories of Vermont contains all three of these important nutrients to support our bones.

• Support for bone function

Calcium is necessary for most bodily functions and it is estimated that 80% of all American women are calcium deficient.* Calcium is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses, muscle contraction (including the heart muscle), blood clotting, reducing cholesterol, enhancing the immune system, maintaining strong bones and teeth and proper sleep.*

What factors are involved in the metabolism and absorption of calcium?
Utilization of calcium depends particularly on correct phosphorus and magnesium levels.* In general, we should have a two-to-one ratio of calcium to magnesium.* A deficiency of magnesium decreases calcium as well as potassium levels leading to enzyme problems that can interfere with calcium metabolism.*

Calcium and magnesium work synergistically to support the health of the cardiovascular system.* Calcium also works together with phosphorus, and both are involved in the health of the bones and teeth.*

Both magnesium and phosphorus facilitate calcium absorption in the body.* Vitamins A and C also assist in the metabolism of calcium, and Vitamin D is required for its absorption.*
