Core Nutritionals - Calcium Magnesium Citrate

Calcium is likely one of the first nutrients ever consumed by an individual. From the time you were born, calcium was likely introduced for its benefits of bone growth, muscle and nerve function, as well as heart function. As we age, the importance of calcium is also important as the need shifts from growth to maintenance of optimal function. If optimal calcium levels are not met, whether it be in childhood or adulthood the risk of deficiency can lead to less than optimal function and quality of life later on.

Magnesium also plays a role in similar functions of muscle and nerve function, protein synthesis, and bone integrity, as well as being a catalyst for over 300 enzymatic reactions that regulate certain physiological functions in the human body. While magnesium is an essential nutrient, our bodies must receive it from either foods or supplementation. Supplementation can help ensure optimal levels are being met to maintain optimal bodily function. These can include bone and muscle integrity as well as digestion and ability for relaxation and recovery to take place.
