Ingredients explained
Calcium (from calcium citrate)
Calcium supplies elemental calcium that the body uses for bone mineralization, muscle contraction, and nerve signaling.
Caution: Take with water and space away from high-iron supplements because calcium can reduce absorption of certain minerals.
Magnesium (from magnesium oxide)
Magnesium acts as a cofactor in energy-producing enzymes and supports muscle and nerve relaxation while aiding bone mineral balance.
Caution: May cause loose stools in some people; start with the suggested serving and take with food if stomach upset occurs.
How they work together
Calcium provides the structural mineral for bones, while magnesium supports enzymes that regulate calcium transport and helps muscles and nerves relax. Together in a 2:1 ratio, they address both mineral supply and regulation for daily bone and neuromuscular support.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications or certain antibiotics may need to separate dosing from calcium and magnesium to reduce absorption interference. Those with kidney concerns or a history of kidney stones may wish to discuss use with a healthcare provider. If combining with medications that may interact with calcium or magnesium, consult a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
