Calcium and Magnesium Citrate 2:1 (180 Caps)

Calcium and magnesium are minerals primarily known for their contribution to bone health and the prevention of osteoporosis. Supplementation with these two nutrients helps prevent bone deterioration in menopausal women. It is estimated that one in four menopausal women suffers from osteoporosis.

Health First® Calcium & Magnesium has added vitamin D to increase calcium absorption and zinc to prevent zinc depletion during calcium and magnesium absorption. The Health First formula uses the citrate form of minerals, recommended for superior absorption. Studies have shown that calcium citrate is four times more absorbable than calcium from carbonate sources.

Calcium and magnesium also play an important role in regulating high blood pressure. Calcium and vitamin D are factors in the normal development and maintenance of bones and teeth, particularly in infancy and childhood.
