Salus Cal-Mag Liquid

Calcium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin D are the four pillars of building and maintaining healthy bones and teeth.

We also use calcium and magnesium from our bones to keep our blood and tissues in a state of homeostasis, which is the constant state of balance our bodies require to stay alive². So, our bones are not only important to allow us to run and jump, but because they also provide a resource of the minerals that keep our bodies in balance.

Calcium and magnesium are also essential for our muscles to function. Every time our heart beats, we blink, or wiggle our toes, we use calcium and magnesium to trigger the contraction and relaxation of our muscle fibres². If we are not able to get enough of these nutrients from the diet, our bodies extract them from our bones to maintain homeostasis and allow our muscles to continue to contract and relax².

Lack of zinc from the diet and vitamin D from the sun also impacts the bone remodeling process and can lead to weakened and brittle bones. Zinc promotes bone growth and regeneration³. Vitamin D allows us to effectively absorb calcium and is essential for mineralization of calcium into bone⁴.

Over time, the donation of calcium and magnesium from our bones to our tissues to maintain homeostasis and muscle function results in increasingly brittle and weak bone remodelling¹. Low bone density, called osteoporosis, increases our risk of fractures and falls, which is a leading cause of decline in quality of life, wellness, and independence as we age⁵.

We should aim for 1000mg-1200mgof calcium⁹, 8-11mg of zinc, and at least 400mg of magnesium daily. Research shows that the vast majority of us do not meet these requirements through nutrition, even if we eat a healthy diet, so adequate intake should be achieved through the combination of food and supplementation.

Salus Calcium-Magnesium supports the development and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth, helps us to maintain proper muscle function, and supports homeostasis by providing the essential nutrients calcium, magnesium, zinc and vitamin D.

The Salus Calcium-Magnesium liquid formulation is easy to dose, gentle on the digestive system, and highly absorbed. The addition of herbs, vegetables and fruit tastes gives the formula a great taste without the use of preservatives, colouring, or artificial flavours.
