ESSENTIAL
MINERALS
Calcium and Magnesium are essential minerals for the building of bones and teeth and are
extremely critical for the proper functioning of both skeletal muscles and the heart.
Because they are difficult to absorb, most people should supplement with them.
CalMag Plus is a superior product because it focuses on the absorption
problem in two ways; (1) it includes different sources of high quality, organic Calcium
and Magnesium to meet each individual's needs, and (2) it assures an acidic media in which
Calcium and Magnesium are best absorbed. It includes a team of vitamins and trace elements
necessary to properly utilize Calcium and Magnesium. Boron helps maintain Calcium levels
in the body once it is absorbed.
Suggested
Use:
Three tablets twice a day with meals provide 1,000 mg each of both Calcium and Magnesium.
Contains no preservatives, sugar, starch, salt, wheat,
yeast, corn, milk, soy derivatives, artificial flavoring or coloring agents.
CALCIUM
AND MAGNESIUM
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.
Life Plus understands that the name of the game is absorption and
utilization; therefore, CalMag Plus 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. In taking
CalMag Plus, you have a complete team working for you.
THE
CALMAG PLUS TEAM
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-3 is also included because it
is necessary for both the absorption and utilization of Calcium, and Calcium is needed to
utilize Vitamin D-3. Any Calcium supplement that does not contain Calcium, Magnesium and
Vitamin D is simply not of much value in terms of absorption and utilization in the body.
Betaine HCl, glutaminic acid and the citrate form of Calcium ensure
that CalMag Plus is pH balanced. Proper pH (acid base balance) in the digestive tract is
very important for proper Calcium absorption.
Alfalfa, Kelp and Dulce are also included as good sources of Calcium
and Magnesium and all three are rich sources of trace minerals helpful for Calcium and
Magnesium utilization. Boron is added to help maintain Calcium levels in the body once it
is absorbed. Studies have shown that less Calcium is excreted in the urine if adequate
levels of Boron are present.
TYPES
OF CALCIUM & MAGNESIUM
Many Calcium supplements contain only inexpensive, inorganic forms of Calcium, such as
oxides or carbonates. In general, most of these products are not worthwhile because most
of the Calcium is not absorbed. Different individuals seem to be able to absorb different
forms of Calcium and Magnesium. This is why Life Plus CALMAG PLUS contains numerous
sources of Calcium and Magnesium including citrates, chelates, aspartates, gluconates,
ascorbates, glycerophosphates and lactates.
WHY
TAKE CALMAG PLUS
Individuals who are allergic to dairy products (a major source of Calcium in the American
diet) can easily become deficient in Calcium and need CALMAG PLUS 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 CALMAG PLUS.
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. CALMAG PLUS is the perfect supplement for them,
but they may prefer the chewable Life Plus Candy Cal™ tablet.
Anyone who drinks large amounts of soft drinks need extra amounts of
CALMAG PLUS, because of the leaching effects of the ortho phosphoric acid. Carbonated,
phosophorylated 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. Elderly
people should supplement their diets with Life Plus CALMAG PLUS.
Calcium and Magnesium are often called "Nature's Tranquilizers" because of their
natural calmative effect, not only for muscles but for the nervous system as well.
PHYTOZYME
BASE
CALMAG PLUS is formulated in the proprietary Life Plus PhytoZyme base, which contains a
unique blend of over thirty natural concentrates of numerous valuable phytonutrients from
plants.
When you take Life Plus products, you have the added benefit of
receiving the numerous health supporting phytochemicals and other micronutrients contained
in them.
HOW TO TAKE
CALMAG PLUS
It is usually recommended that most people take three CALMAG PLUS tablets two times per
day, usually with meals. This supplies 1,000 mg each of both Calcium and Magnesium and
represents 100% of the RDA for Calcium and 250% for Magnesium. Individual needs will vary.
Older individuals and pregnant or lactating women should consider taking more.
