Vitamins & Minerals

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body with 99% of it found in the bones and teeth. It provides strength and density to bones and teeth.

Sufficient calcium intake during puberty and up to 30 years of age is necessary to achieve peak bone mass. Calcium deficiencies in young people can account for a 5 to 10 percent difference in peak bone mass and can increase the risk of osteoporosis later in life. Regular calcium intake thereafter will help to maintain the bone mass.

Calcium is especially essential for growing children, women, expectant mothers and the elderly.

Magnesium helps improve bone quality and appears to play a role in maintaining bone mass. It also enhances the absorption of calcium from food and its retention in the body.

Vitamin D, zinc, manganese, copper, molybdenum and apple cider vinegar included in the formula help aid absorption and utilisation of calcium.

Calcium and magnesium help regulate heart beat and are important elements in blood clotting. Deficiencies of magnesium and calcium have been linked to some cases of high blood pressure.

Both calcium and magnesium help to maintain healthy nerve and muscle function, and helps to control muscle cramps, shakes and tremors.

Calcium flows into muscle tissue cells when the muscle contracts. When calcium leaves and is replaced by magnesium, the muscle relaxes. Magnesium deficiency is therefore associated with the occurrence of muscle spasms, tremors and convulsions.

Calcium Plus contains calcium and magnesium in the natural balanced ratio of 2:1. Apple cider vinegar and vitamin D help to improve the absorption of calcium.
