Ingredients explained
Calcium
Calcium provides the primary mineral for bone structure and supports muscle contraction and nerve signaling by helping regulate electrical gradients across cell membranes.
Caution: Take with food to enhance absorption and reduce stomach upset; separate from certain minerals or high-dose iron to avoid absorption competition.
Magnesium
Magnesium acts as a cofactor in hundreds of enzymes and helps regulate muscle and nerve function, energy production, and the balance of calcium in tissues.
Caution: High doses may cause loose stools, especially from oxide forms; consider splitting doses or taking with food to improve tolerance.
Phosphorus
Phosphorus combines with calcium to form hydroxyapatite in bones and contributes to cellular energy processes as part of ATP.
Caution: Excess phosphorus from diet and supplements may disrupt calcium balance; take as directed.
How they work together
Calcium supplies the structural mineral for bones, while phosphorus pairs with it in hydroxyapatite to build bone density. Magnesium supports calcium handling in muscles and bones and participates in energy metabolism, helping balance muscle relaxation and contraction.
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 calcium and magnesium by at least 2 hours due to reduced absorption. Those with kidney issues or a history of kidney stones should consult a healthcare provider. If combining with medications that may interact with calcium or magnesium, discuss with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store in a dry place between 59–86°F.
