MagAsorb Calcium is essential as the mineralising agent for bones and teeth and assists in maintaining a healthy nervous system. Calcium is also needed for bodily functions such as blood clotting and muscle contraction. Most of the body's calcium is stored in the bones and teeth, but there is a smaller amount present in the blood that helps in the movement of nutrients across the cells whose function is to produce hormones and enzymes that regulate digestion and metabolism. Research has shown that diets containing plenty of calcium, fruit and vegetables, will be very effective in lowering blood pressure. Magnesium is also essential for the nervous system. Many people these days do not have enough magnesium stored in their body because of a high intake of processed foods. Also magesium levels are easily depleted by stress, disease or too intense physical activity, so quite often magnesium supplements are given. Magnesium is involved in aiding the production of energy, muscle relaxation and bone and tooth development and when combined with potasium and calcium, magnesium regulates the heart rhythm and blood clotting. Magnesium also supports the production and use of insulin. Boron and magnesium together help to convert vitamin D into a useable form in the body. Magnesium is the second most abundant mineral in the cells. It is essential for many metabolic processes, but especially the cellular "pumps" which maintain the correct distribution of sodium, potassium and calcium across the cell membranes. MagAsorb provides highly bioavailable magnesium in citrate form. Both Osteoguard and MagAsorb care stocked by Nature's Best just type in the search box at the top of the page.
