Thorne Calcium-Magnesium Malate (240 Vegetarian Capsules)

Current calcium intake is one-fourth to one-third of what anthropologists believe humans consumed 10,000 years ago. So it’s more than likely that we’re not consuming the amount of dietary calcium we need to maintain healthy bone density. Supplementation with the well-absorbed calcium malate found in Thorne’s Calcium-Magnesium Malate promotes good bone density. Calcium-Magnesium Malate’s other chief ingredient, magnesium, is also essential for maintaining normal bone density.

Magnesium and calcium appear to work synergistically in the body.  Calcium-Magnesium Malate provides a 1:1 ratio of calcium and magnesium in the well-absorbed malate form.

Magnesium is present in all cells of the body and is involved in more than 600 enzymatic processes.  Body functions requiring magnesium include nerve conduction, methyl-group transfer, conversion of pyridoxine to pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (the active form of vitamin B6), energy production, and muscle relaxation. 

Calcium is contributes to:

• the maintenance of normal bones, teeth
• a role in the normal function of digestive enzymes
