NOW Calcium Citrate
Helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth. Helps to produce and repair connective tissue. Calcium intake, when combined with sufficient vitamin D, a healthy diet, and regular exercise, may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis. Consumers are increasingly looking for calcium supplements that offer complete bone health nutrition. Emerging evidence has suggested that the combination of Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D and zinc may have unique, synergistic properties and offer greater beneficial effects when taken together. Individually, each nutrient affects many other biological processes—most notably, the production of hormones and enzymes needed for metabolism, digestion, and energy. Tablet format allows for a higher potency Cal/Mag formula supported with a wider array of synergistic nutrients.
NOW Calcium Citrate plus Magnesium and Cofactors offers a highly absorbable formula with a comprehensive and synergistic list of nutrients to support bone health. It contains a potent blend of Calcium and Magnesium in the recommended 2:1 ratio, along with added Vitamin D2, Zinc, Copper, and Manganese – the key, synergistic, bone building nutrients. This combination has been shown to be effective in a number of clinical and non-clinical studies, offering a sound way to help support healthy bones. Product is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
