Designs for Health
Cal/Mag 2:1
Cal/Mag 2:1 offers calcium and magnesium in the standard 2 to 1 ratio. It has long been understood that these two minerals work synergistically and their benefits are enhanced when taken together.
Calcium is the most abundant essential mineral in the human body, consisting of 1.5% to 2% of its total body weight. Approximately 99% of calcium is stored in the bones and teeth. Calcium plays an important role in wound healing, muscle contraction, nerve transmission, hormone secretion, cardiovascular health, and bone structure and function.
Magnesium is an essential mineral that serves as a cofactor for more than 300 biochemical reactions and is necessary for every organ to function properly. The adult human body contains 25 g of magnesium divided among bones, muscles, blood, and other tissues. Magnesium plays a crucial role in cardiovascular function, blood sugar metabolism, brain health, cellular energy production, muscle relaxation, and bone structure and function. A 2:1 calcium-to-magnesium ratio aligns with the body’s requirement for higher calcium than magnesium and could help reduce potential nutrient deficiencies.
Magnesium and calcium share biochemical pathways. Oftentimes, low magnesium status is concurrent with low calcium status and vice versa. Magnesium is necessary for proper calcium utilization to support healthy nerve impulses, heart rhythm, and muscle contraction and relaxation. Additionally, calcium is necessary for muscle contraction, whereas magnesium is necessary for muscle relaxation. A proper balance of magnesium and calcium may support many aspects of health both together and independently.
