Osteo Cal-Mag - 180 Caps

According to a study published in July 2004, the number of Americans diagnosed with osteoporosis rose sevenfold over the past decade. A study by Stanford University researchers in 2003 showed there were an estimated 3.6 million Americans diagnosed with osteoporosis, compared with just half a million in 1994. Also, the number of doctor visits for the condition jumped to 6.3 million last year, up from 1.3 million is 1994. An estimated 68% of Americans are not getting enough calcium, and 75% of Americans are deficient in magnesium. While many people are aware of the benefits that calcium can offer, they still don't understand how the body can best absorb calcium. In fact, for the body to derive maximum benefit, supplements must be formulated with the right ingredients - in the ideal proportions. The most common problem isn't the amount of calcium ingested, but rather the lack of calcium absorption. A common misunderstanding among both healthcare professionals and the general public is that the daily requirement of calcium should be taken in supplemental form. Many doctors suggest taking 1200mg a day of calcium from a supplement such as the poorly absorbed calcium carbonate (dolomite, coral), which acts mainly as an antacid, but provided little if any calcium to the bones. The risk in this approach is that it does not take into account the average daily intake of calcium from the diet. A supplement is just that - a supplement - to bring the TOTAL dietary intake of calcium to the optimum. The majority of Americans ingest more than enough calcium from their diet, but the intake of magnesium and silicon is often inadequate. Gluten-free Enerex Osteo Cal-Mag contains the proven 1-to-1 ratio of calcium and magnesium, along with the essential co-factors of silica, boron, and vitamins D and K, in an organic green superfood base. The result is a formula which effectively helps the body build and maintain bone health, and fight the onset of osteoporosis.
