Usually, only 30 % - 40 % of calcium present in the diet is absorbed by the body. Calcium also plays a crucial role in blood clotting, muscle contraction, nerve condition, the smooth functioning of the immune system and the production of energy. Adults require a daily calcium intake of between 700 and 1000mg, those at risk of osteoporosis (women over the age of 45) will need as much as 1500mg daily. Calcium is absorbed in the small intestine, a process that is dependant on the presence of vitamin D. Our Calcium & Magnesium tablets are fortified with vitamin D, zinc, boron and copper. Magnesium is the fourth most common metal stored in the body, with 70% found in the bones and teeth. Magnesium is responsible for the function of over 300 enzymes, and is vital for every major metabolic reaction from synthesis of protein and genetic material to the production of energy from glucose. Few enzymes can work without Magnesium, it is now known to help maintain healthy tissues, especially those in the muscles, lung airways, blood vessels and nerves. Magnesium regulates the movement of calcium in and out of cells, magnesium is important for bone health and the prevention of osteoporosis. A lack of magnesium is relatively common and may affect as many as 1 in 10 people.
