Liquid supplement formulas are often more convenient for many patients, are easier to swallow, and may be more efficiently absorbed. Cal/Mag Liquid is a balanced blend of several micronutrients known to be important for supporting the development and maintenance of bone throughout the lifespan. Calcium citrate/malate has demonstrated superior absorption to other forms in virtually all comparative studies. Magnesium intake is low in several high-risk groups, and supplementation helps to optimize parathyroid hormone levels and bone turnover rate.
Vitamin K is becoming newly appreciated for its role in supporting production of vital bone matrix proteins, and the trace minerals zinc, copper, and manganese all play important biochemical roles in the production of bone matrix tissue. No other bone health product is as complete and easy to take as Cal/Mag Liquid.
Calcium supplements, especially when combined with vitamin D, can prevent common deficiencies that lead to inadequate bone formation and early bone loss.
- Refer to About...Calcium, also the About...sections Vitamin D, Magnesium and Other Bone-related Factors (see above).
- A controlled trial found that calcium plus zinc, copper, and manganese was more effective for preventing spinal bone loss than was calcium supplementation alone (J Nutr 1994;124:1060-4).
