AI generated. Not medical advice.What it's for
Bone health, muscle function, nerve function, mineral replenishment
Who it may fit
Adults with low dietary intake of dairy or mineral-rich foods, or those with active lifestyles seeking daily bone and muscle support.
Key actives per serving
- Calcium (as calcium hydroxyapatite, calcium citrate, calcium aspartate): 1,000 mg (77% DV)
- Magnesium (as magnesium oxide, magnesium citrate, magnesium aspartate, magnesium taurinate): 500 mg (119% DV)
- Phosphorus (as calcium hydroxyapatite): 500 mg (40% DV)
How to take
Adults take 2 tablets once daily with food; taking with a meal may improve mineral absorption and reduce stomach upset. Separate from high-dose iron or zinc by a few hours to minimize absorption interference.
Diet / Allergen fit
Certified Gluten-Free; Certified Vegan; Kosher. No yeast, wheat, soy, milk, sugar, preservatives, artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners; No magnesium stearate.
Ingredients explained
Calcium (as calcium hydroxyapatite, calcium citrate, calcium aspartate)
Calcium supplies the mineral needed for bone mineralization, muscle contraction, and nerve signaling by serving as a structural component and cellular messenger.
Caution: Take with food to enhance absorption and reduce stomach discomfort; separate from high-dose iron or zinc by a few hours to avoid absorption competition.
Magnesium (as magnesium oxide, magnesium citrate, magnesium aspartate, magnesium taurinate)
Magnesium acts as a cofactor in hundreds of enzymatic reactions involved in energy production, muscle and nerve function, and supports normal calcium balance in bone.
Caution: May cause loose stools in some people, especially from magnesium oxide; start with the suggested serving and take with food if sensitive.
Phosphorus (as calcium hydroxyapatite)
Phosphorus combines with calcium to form hydroxyapatite, the primary mineral matrix of bones and teeth, and supports cellular energy as part of ATP.
Caution: High phosphorus intake with low calcium intake may affect mineral balance; take as directed within a balanced diet.
How they work together
Calcium and phosphorus provide the core minerals for bone mineral matrix, while magnesium supports proper calcium handling in muscles and bone and participates in energy metabolism. The 2:1 ratios help align mineral balance to support absorption and utilization.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, have a medical condition, or planning surgery, consult a doctor before use. Stop use and consult a doctor if any adverse reactions occur.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications or certain antibiotics may need to separate dosing from calcium and magnesium to avoid reduced absorption. Those with kidney concerns or a history of kidney stones may wish to discuss use with a healthcare provider.
Storage: Store in a dry place between 59–86°F.
