 Cal-Mag Amino
Multi-Nutrient Formula for Strong, Healthy Bones
Strong Bones Need More than
Calcium!
Calcium supplements help prevent and reverse osteoporosis. In fact, the
protective effect of calcium on bone is one of the few "label claims" allowed by
the FDA.
However, most studies also show that isolated calcium supplements have
only minor effects on bone. This means that if you are serious about protecting
your bone mineral density, calcium alone may not be enough.
Cal-Mag Amino Helps Build Strong
Bones Four Ways
Cal-Mag Amino is specially formulated to help
build strong bones four ways, by combining nutrients that are essential to
healthy bone formation:
Calcium
(as amino acid chelate and carbonate). Calcium supplements help prevent
osteoporosis. Calcium supplements have an especially important protective
effect in post-menopausal women.
Magnesium
(as amino acid chelate and oxide). Both bone and blood levels of magnesium
have been shown to be low in people with osteoporosis. Magnesium
supplements reduce bone loss in men, and supplementing with 250 to 750 mg
per day of magnesium halted bone loss or increased bone density in 87% of
people with osteoporosis in one two-year trial. Supplementing with
magnesium (150 mg per day for one year) also increased bone mass in
pre-adolescent and adolescent girls in a double-blind study.
Boron
(citrate, aspartate, glycinate forms). Boron, a trace mineral, reduces
urinary calcium and magnesium loss.
Vitamin D3
(cholecalciferol). Vitamin D increases calcium absorption, and blood
levels of vitamin D are directly related to bone strength. Even small
vitamin D deficiencies, which are quite common, lead to accelerated bone
density loss and increased risk of fracture. In double-blind studies,
vitamin D supplementation reduced bone loss in women who consumed too
little vitamin D from diet and slowed bone loss in people with
osteoporosis.
Dr. Myatt's Recommendation for Strong, Healthy Bones
Suggested Dose: For post-menopausal women
taking
Maxi Multi, take an additional 3 caps of
Cal-Mag Amino daily. Pre-menopausal females and men usually get an optimal
dose of bone nutrients from Maxi Multi alone.
Recommended calcium dose for
post-menopausal women or for those with osteoporosis: 1,500 mg calcium
with corresponding magnesium, boron and vitamin D. Dr. Myatts comment:
Cal-Mag Amino is a
very easy to assimilate form of calcium-magnesium plus vitamin D and boron, all
needed for healthy bone formation. I recommend a "balanced" bone formula over a
single calcium supplement for keeping bones strong.
Each One (1) Capsule of Cal-Mag Amino provides:
Calcium (amino acid chelate, carbonate) 150 mg
Magnesium (amino acid chelate, oxide) 100 mg
Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) 25 IU
Boron (citrate, aspartate, glycinate) 200 mcg
