We probably need more Calcium and Magnesium than any other
vitamin or mineral because they are the primary building blocks of bones,
teeth and muscles. Many foods contain these valuable minerals, especially
calcium, so many people supplement their diets with calcium...yet Calcium
remains high on the list of minerals in which people are deficient. It is not
how much Calcium and Magnesium you obtain from the foods you eat and
supplements you take, but rather how much your body ABSORBS and UTILIZES.
Very simply, Calcium is difficult to absorb for most people.
WrenHealth understands that
the name of the game is absorption and utilization; therefore, our product is
more than just a straight Calcium supplement. It includes an abundant amount
of Magnesium and other specific nutrients your body needs in order to absorb
and utilize both Calcium and Magnesium to its fullest potential.
THE
WrenHealth PRODUCTS DIFFERENCE
Your body needs adequate amounts of Magnesium in order to
absorb calcium and it also needs adequate amounts of Calcium to utilize
Magnesium. Vitamin D is also included because it is necessary for both the
absorption and utilization of Calcium, and Calcium is needed to utilize
Vitamin D. Any Calcium supplement that does not contain Calcium, Magnesium,
Boron,
and Vitamin D is simply not of much value in terms of absorption and
utilization in the body.
WHY SHOULD I TAKE A CALCIUM/MAGNESIUM SUPPLEMENT?
Individuals who are allergic to dairy products (a major
source of Calcium in the American diet) can easily become deficient in
Calcium and need to make up for the loss of this source of Calcium. During
pregnancy, mothers need a great deal of Calcium and Magnesium to ensure the
proper development of the fetal bones, muscles and teeth and to ensure that
the mother's own mineral stores are not depleted. For the same reason,
lactating mothers should continue to supplement their diets with Calcium
Magnesium. Growing children need extra Calcium in their diets to ensure
continuing development of muscles, bones and teeth. If they maintain proper
levels of Calcium, they will have less tendency toward cavities and broken
bones. Anyone who drinks large amounts of soft drinks need extra amounts of
Calcium Magnesium as well, because of the leaching effects of the orthophosphoric acid. Carbonated, phosphorylated soft drinks are one cause of
bone degeneration and the increased incidence of this problem has been shown
to correspond to the increased consumption. Calcium and Magnesium are
absolutely necessary for healthy muscles. Inadequate levels can lead to
muscle cramping, especially in the legs. Elderly people find it increasingly
difficult to absorb Calcium and in general don't seem to get enough
Magnesium. They often develop osteoporosis, a condition where Calcium erodes
from the bones causing them to become weak and brittle.
