Our product “Calcium + Magnesium” is really an all-rounder for the support of the bones, musculature and heart. The reason: Both vital mineral nutrients which are included in our product, are absolutely natural and the proportion of both substances is very balanced. Apart from water, which can make up half of our body weight, the human organism is mainly made up of protein. The elements, however, that provide the human organism with strength and stability are minerals – magnesium and calcium in particular. Overall the human body comprises more calcium than any other mineral and it is indispensable for ensuring the health of our teeth and our 215 bones. The dry matter of our bones weighs about five kilograms - one kilo of which is pure calcium. Our bones constitute a gigantic "construction site" featuring shifts around the clock. The names of the "construction workers" are osteoblast (build bone cells) and osteoclast (break down bone cells). Throughout our entire life, the osteoblasts will continue to build bone cells. To prevent bones from growing continuously, the osteoclasts will in turn break down the bone cells. In this way bone tissue is being built, rebuilt and broken down continually and will thus maintain its typical shape and function. Calcium is the cement, the construction workers need. Without calcium they can pack it all up and go home – nothing will work on this bone tissue construction site without calcium. Not only do our teeth and bones need an adequate supply of calcium, but it also plays a role in the central nervous system. Calcium is important to the function of muscle contraction and to transporting critical substances to and from the cells. By the way: Currywurst (curry-spiced German sausage) and soda are the archenemies of calcium since both contain the perturbing phosphorus. Yet it all depends on the right mixture: calcium and phosphorus have to be available at a ratio of 2:1. If there is a disproportionate level of phosphorus, the body will get rid off calcium. So please consider this the next time you consume foods or beverages rich in phosphorus. We have to provide the body with an adequate level of calcium every day because the human organism does not produce calcium naturally. Furthermore, we also have to make sure that the body can actually use the nutrients provided by the food we consume (so-called bioavailability). In other words, exactly how much of the calcium provided can the body actually use? The various sources of calcium feature various degrees of bioavailability. "Calcium & Magnesium" contains calcium gained from the alga of the scientific name "Lithothamnium calcareum". Its calcium is all-natural and thus features the high degree of bioavailability of, believe it or not, 96%. In comparison: Oyster shells, commonly believed to contain the highest level of all-natural calcium, is "only" digested and used to 67% by the body. And quite frankly, how would that look if you were to nibble on oyster shells every day? The sea alga Lithothamnium calcareum does not taste and we harvest it from the cleanest ocean water of the European Atlantic coast. Lithothamnium calcareum contains an all-natural compound of all minerals and trace elements. Its content of calcium, however, is extremely high; it consists to one third of pure calcium. Magnesium can be found in large quantities as magnesite in nature. Beside dolomite it is the most important magnesium-mineral and from this substance we extract our magnesium. Magnesium is also a mineral nutrient, which is generally responsible for many functions in the body. It can be used for the support of the energy-metabolism, the musculature and the heart. But this important mineral can also support the hormone insulin. As our magnesium is organically, it has a very high bioavailability – independent from the acid concentration in the stomach, which should be available in sufficient quantities in cheap magnesium-salts, for resorption. Also in the small intestine, organic magnesium compounds can be reabsorbed better. The product “Calcium + Magnesium” is completed by the legendary microalga Spirulina, which contains many other important minerals and trace elements. We recommend taking 6 tablets daily. This recommended dosage will provide you with the level of calcium contained in 13 litres of milk. Mind-boggling, isn't it? In other words, one jar of 400 Calcium + Magnesium soft pressed tablets provides the calcium contained in 867 litres of milk. Isn't that amazing?! The recommended daily dosage is 6 tablets daily. Amongst others they contain 128 mg calcium, 60 mg magnesium and 1940 mg Spirulina platensis.
