Ingredients explained
Calcium (from Calcium Citrate)
Calcium citrate provides absorbable calcium ions that are used for bone mineralization and normal muscle and nerve function.
Caution: Take with food to support tolerance; excessive calcium intake may cause constipation or interact with certain medications like thyroid hormones if taken at the same time.
Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol)
Vitamin D2 helps increase intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus by regulating calcium-transport proteins.
Caution: Take consistently with calcium for best effect; high total vitamin D intake from multiple products may raise calcium levels.
Magnesium (from magnesium oxide and magnesium aspartate)
Magnesium acts as a cofactor in bone formation and supports parathyroid and vitamin D activity involved in calcium balance.
Caution: May cause loose stools in some people, especially on an empty stomach; separate from certain medications like antibiotics when advised.
Zinc (from zinc bisglycinate)
Zinc supports bone remodeling enzymes and collagen formation as part of normal connective tissue metabolism.
Caution: High doses on an empty stomach may cause nausea; long-term high zinc intake can affect copper status.
Manganese (from manganese bisglycinate)
Manganese supports enzymes involved in bone matrix formation and antioxidant defense.
Caution: Avoid excessive total manganese from multiple supplements, as very high intakes may affect the nervous system.
How they work together
Calcium provides the primary mineral for bone structure, while vitamin D2 enhances intestinal calcium absorption. Magnesium supports calcium balance and parathyroid function, and zinc plus manganese contribute to normal collagen formation and bone matrix activity.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Consult a physician if pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Natural color variation may occur.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications or certain antibiotics may need to separate calcium and magnesium from these medications by at least 2 hours to avoid reduced absorption. Those sensitive to higher intakes of zinc, copper, or manganese may wish to review total daily intake. If using medications that may interact with calcium or magnesium, discuss with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place after opening.
