Cal/Mag Cal/Mag is a blend in proper ratio of 2:1 in favor of magnesium. Proper balance of these essential minerals. It is vital in order for the body to better assimilate the calcium it needs while transporting calcium our of the tissues and organs where it is not needed. Refer to our pages on Calcium and Magnesium for more information. |

Calcium
is the most abundant
mineral in the human body,
a man weighing 150 pounds
contains approximately 3
pounds, 12 ounces of
calcium in his body.
Calcium is one of
the first elements in the
body to go out of balance
when the diet is
inadequate. Calcium
is used in forming bones,
also known as bone
mineralization, and in the
proper formation and
maintenance of teeth.
“The skeleton of
the body depends on
calcium just as the more
rigid, supporting
structures in the earth's
crust rely to a great
extent on calcareous
formations like
limestone.”3 It is also
important in nerve impulse
transmission, blood
coagulation, and muscle
contraction. Vitamin
D (sunshine) and Magnesium
are essential to the
proper absorption and
assimilation of calcium.
Calcium
is required for the
release of energy for
muscular contraction,
mediates the transport
function of cell and
organelle membranes,
effects the release of
neurotransmitters at
synaptic junctions,
mediates the synthesis,
secretion and metabolic
effects of hormones and
enzymes. Calcium also
helps regulate muscle
tone, muscle receptiveness
to nerve stimulation and
the regulation of the
heartbeat. “Calcium
is primarily stored in
bones (99%), where the
ratio of calcium to
phosphorous is nearly
constant at slightly
greater than 2:1. Calcium
is involved in numerous
vital functions throughout
the body, including:
protein and fat digestion,
energy production, nerve
transmission,
neuromuscular activity,
the absorption of other
nutrients, such as vitamin
B12.”4
Calcium
is an alkaline, positive
mineral that has a
powerful attraction for
oxygen. Other
elements with which
calcium readily associates
are sulfur, Silica and
carbon. “Calcium
is mainly absorbed in the
duodenum, where the
environment is still acid.
Once the food in the
intestine becomes
alkaline, absorption
drops. Calcium is
absorbed from the small
instine by active cellular
transport and by simple
difussion.”5 The
total content of calcium
is renewed in
approximately six years.
A satisfactory daily
intake of calcium is
required to sustain the
right calcium balance in
the body. “Calcium
helps maintain a balance
between sodium, potassium
and magnesium. Calcium
is also essential for the
proper utilization of
phosphorus and Vitamins A,
C, and D.”6

There is no question that magnesium is one of the most studied minerals in nutrition. “Magnesium is one of the most essential nutrients in maintaining optimal health. It’s a mineral that bathes the cell and seems to stabilize it, calming your body at a metabolic level, a microscopic level. If there is a tendency – whether in the cells of your heart or lungs, your muscles, or your blood vessels – to overreact, magnesium soothes and relaxes the body. Research on magnesium’s benefits dates back to the early 1930s, and recently we’ve seen a renaissance in our study of this mineral.”7 In the human body magnesium serves many crucial roles and is involved in a quartet of minerals that also serve the same function. The human body needs magnesium, calcium, sodium and potassium in the processes of helping to transmit electrical impulses across nerves and muscles, regulation of blood pressure, bone building and more. The electrical impulses generate what is called neuromuscular contraction. If you don’t have proper magnesium your muscles will begin to cramp. If you consume these minerals in proper levels you will feel younger, lose weight, and see blood pressure fall. Magnesium is required for the production and transfer of energy from protein synthesis for contractility of muscle and excitability of nerves plus it is a co-factor in a myriad of enzyme systems. Most Americans don’t get enough magnesium in their diet. Studies say the intake has been dropping steadily over the last 100 years. Coincidentally, or maybe not, blood pressure has been rising over the last 100 years. Magnesium contributes to pH balance. It is important to distinguish between the element magnesium and the compound magnesia. Magnesia causes diarrhea whereas magnesium helps in the maintenance of healthy bones, ligaments, and hormonal regulation. Magnesium is known for its calming nature as it works on the nerves in a cathartic manner, the soothing properties of magnesium help induce restful sleep. “Approximately one and one-half of magnesium are found in the body tissues, and at times up to three ounces. Magnesium contributes to the alkalinity of the body and acts as a natural laxative for the bowel. In addition, it calms nerves, makes the body more flexible – especially in muscles, nerves, ligaments, tissues, joints and tendons.”8 Magnesium combats acids, toxins, gases and impurities and cools the body. It benefits the brain through the neutralization of phosphoric by-products of heavy brain activity or over consumption of phosphorus foods. Humans must have the biochemical form of magnesium. Magnesium assists in the body’s uptake of both potassium and calcium, and a magnesium deficiency promotes deficiencies in calcium and potassium. “Sixty percent of tissue magnesium is located in the skeleton. Most of the rest is within the cells. Magnesium is required for the activation or structure of more enzymes than any other mineral. Many magnesium – dependent enzymes cannot use any other mineral as a replacement for magnesium.”9 So it is easy to understand why magnesium is so vital to our well being.
