03/08: Calcium Magnesium
CALCIUM, MAGNESIUM and ZINC with D Minerals are a highly sought after commodity these days. Practically every piece of research you read talks about how mineral depleted diets have been shown to have caused 'this or that' pathology. Well... Omnivit is now offering a stellar combination of minerals that offer many potential health benefits.
Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc are considered to be the three musketeers of bone health! When you think of calcium you probably think of 'bones', well calcium is not just for the formation of healthy bones and teeth. It is also important in maintaining a regular heartbeat, muscular contraction, stabilizing systemic Ph, and is necessary for the proper transmission of nerve impulses. And since minerals are not found in nature, or the body as single stand alone items it is imperative that they be taken with other synergistic minerals like magnesium and zinc to ensure their proper utilization internally. Keeping this in mind, calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body, and is best taken with magnesium to aid in its absorption. Magnesium is an essential part of this trio in that it is the 'yin' to calcium's 'yang'. Calcium is an important part of muscles being able to contract, but magnesium is the component that helps the muscle to then relax. So you see one needs the other! Magnesium also offers the added benefit of protecting against calcification of soft tissue, and protects the arterial linings thereby guarding against cardiovascular disease.
When you add zinc to the equation, it is valuable because it is the sort of 'glue' that holds the rest of the process together. It is required for protein synthesis and collagen formation, the infrastructure or base material that makes our bones and other connective tissues work as they do. Zinc also has an added beneficial effect on the immune system, it is added to many products as a primary ingredient in cold a flu nutraceuticals, which help us fight off the winter chills. Zinc also aids in maintaining blood sugar levels, digesting food, resisting viral infections and also helps wounds to heal properly. Zinc pulls it all together by helping the body to prevent the loss of minerals from bones which aids in the prevention of osteoporosis and other bone related disorders. So, with a proper diet and the Calcium Magnesium and Zinc you have all the players that will help to keep you going strong for many years to come.
