Product Detail: Cal-6 + Mg, Douglas Labs
 |
|
 Cal-6 + Mg., provided by Douglas Laboratories, is a
special chelate complex of 6 sources of calcium with
magnesium and other ingredients to assist the body in
maintaining healthy bone structure. Calcium is a
primary mineral for building the strong structure of
bones and teeth.
FUNCTIONS
The adult human body contains approximately 1,200
g of calcium, about 99% of which is present in the
skeleton, and 20-30 g of magnesium with about 60%
located in bone. Bone is constantly turning over, a
continuous process of formation and resorption. In
children and adolescents, the rate of formation of
bone mineral predominates over the rate of
resorption. In later life, resorption predominates over
formation. Therefore, in normal aging, there is a
gradual loss of bone.
Intestinal calcium absorption ranges from 15 to 75%
of ingested calcium. Vitamin D is a key regulatory
hormone for calcium and bone metabolism. Adequate
vitamin D status is essential for ensuring normal
calcium absorption and maintenance of healthy
calcium plasma levels. Magnesium absorption is
independent of vitamin D status and ranges from 30
to 60% of ingested magnesium.
Osteoporosis, a condition of reduced bone mineral
density that can increase risk of fractures, affects a
large proportion of the elderly in developed countries.
Caucasian and Asian women typically have low peak
bone densities, and therefore, are at the greatest risk
of developing osteoporosis. It is generally accepted
that obtaining enough dietary calcium throughout life
can significantly decrease the risk of developing
osteoporosis.
Among other factors, such as regular
exercise, gender and race, calcium supplementation
during childhood and adolescence appears to be a
prerequisite for maintaining adequate bone density
later in life. But even elderly osteoporotic patients
can benefit significantly from supplementation with
dietary calcium.
Cal-6 + Mg. provides a highly beneficial source of
dietary calcium together with other nutrients that
assist in the maintenance of healthy bone structure
and function. For example, boron affects the
composition, structure, and strength of bone. It
appears to be necessary for calcium and magnesium
absorption, their adequate renal reabsorption, and
their incorporation into the bone matrix. Boron is
absorbed at about 90% efficiency and is rapidly
distributed among the tissues.
INDICATIONS
Cal-6 + Mg. may be a useful dietary supplement for
those who wish to increase their intake of calcium and
other nutritional factors for maintaining the function
and structure of their bones.
SUGGESTED USE
Adults take 1 tablet before each meal or as directed
by physician.
