An easy-to-consume, tissue-ready combination of calcium and magnesium, plus vitamin C. Cal-Mag Citrate + Vitamin C helps maintain bone and muscle health. Added vitamin C improves immune function. Magnesium and calcium work synergistically in the body's muscle cells—magnesium causes muscle fibers to relax, while calcium makes them contract—helping to prevent muscle cramps and promoting a healthy heart rate and rhythm (the heart is a muscle, too!). The calcium-to-magnesium ratio in Thorne's Cal-Mag Citrate + Vitamin C is ideal for people who want more calcium but, due to the potential laxative effect of magnesium, cannot tolerate an equal amount of magnesium.* By taking the highly absorbable forms of these two minerals, you get higher amounts of essential minerals and minimize fatigue from capsules. Why is calcium important? Studies on calcium and bone mass show that daily supplementation with a well-balanced form of calcium absorbed promotes bone mass in adolescents, young adults, older men, and postmenopausal women.Why is magnesium important?• Magnesium is essential for proper body function as it is involved in over 600 enzymatic reactions in the body.• Magnesium is essential for the health of the heart and blood vessels, brain, bones, muscles, and lungs. It also supports healthy blood sugar levels.• It improves relaxation of smooth and skeletal muscles.• Magnesium is a cofactor, along with several enzymes, in cellular energy production.Why add vitamin C?• Vitamin C supports optimal immune function.• Vitamin C promotes the formation of healthy collagen, which aids in wound healing and repair.
