Now Calcium & Magnesium Bone Support Supplement with Vitamin D3 & Zinc, 120 softgels

NOW Calcium and Magnesium brings together four nutrients that all contribute to bone health in one softgel: calcium, magnesium, vitamin D3 and zinc. Calcium gets most of the attention, but it does not work alone. Vitamin D governs how much calcium is absorbed in the first place, and magnesium and zinc each contribute to the maintenance of normal bones in their own right.

Specs

• Nutrients: Calcium, magnesium, vitamin D3, zinc
• Ratio: Calcium to magnesium 2:1
• Form: Softgels
• Pack size: 120 softgels
• Serving: 3 softgels daily with meals
• Brand: NOW Foods (USA)

Benefits

• Calcium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and to normal muscle function
• Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium, which is why the two belong in the same capsule
• Magnesium and zinc both contribute to the maintenance of normal bones, and are the parts of a bone routine most often left out
• Four nutrients in one softgel replaces several bottles and makes the routine far easier to keep up
• Splitting the three softgels across meals is gentler on the stomach than taking them together

How to Use

• Take 3 softgels daily with meals, or as directed on the pack
• Split them across two or three meals if magnesium upsets your stomach
• Space calcium a couple of hours apart from iron supplements, which compete for absorption
• Speak to your doctor before use if you take medication for blood pressure, your thyroid, or antibiotics
• Store below 25 degrees Celsius in a dry place
• Food supplements should not replace a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle
