Form Labs Naturals - Cal-Mag-Zinc with Vitamin D (90 Tablets)

Description

Form Labs Naturals Cal-Mag-Zinc with Vitamin D is an advanced mineral formula that contains the nutritional ingredients needed to maintain bone density and strength, an essential product for anyone who leads an active lifestyle. Prevention and treatment of bone loss is a complex task, for which calcium alone is not enough. Additional participation of nutritional elements in sports nutrition is required to improve their joint action.

calcium and magnesium

Calcium is a biogenic chemical element, namely a constant component of the body. The skeletal system contains 99% of calcium, 1% is free calcium. Half of the calcium in the blood is bound to plasma proteins, mainly albumin, which is involved in the transmission of intracellular signals, blood clotting, the functioning of the nervous and muscular systems, enzymes and hormones. The main regulators of bone formation are three hormones, such as vitamin D3 metabolites with hormonal activity, parathyroid hormone (PTH), a major regulator of calcium metabolism, and calcitonin.

The inclusion of calcium in the bone tissue of the body is associated with the activity of the parathyroid glands, which produce PTH and calcitonin, which are antagonists. The human skeleton is a dynamic depot of calcium, where new calcium crystals are formed and old calcium crystals are broken. This process is called turnover rate and depends on age. In infants up to a year, the rate is 100%, after a year 10%, adults from 2 to 20%. After 35 years, calcium consumption exceeds its intake from food, bone mass and strength decrease by 3% per year. After 45 years, calcium is intensively washed out of the bones and osteoporosis develops. These processes explain the vital intake of free calcium from food and vitamin-mineral complexes. Calcium and magnesium play an important role in maintaining healthy bones, teeth, muscles and nerves. The recommended ratio of calcium to magnesium for human consumption is 2:1.

Zinc

Zinc is a part of all tissues, organs and the human internal secretion system. It is found in high concentrations in the retina, liver, kidneys, reproductive fluids, and prostate in men. It is involved in almost all biochemical and physiological processes. Research shows that zinc is absolutely essential for bone health as it helps maintain optimal bone density. One of the first signs of zinc deficiency is loss of taste and smell. The human body is unable to synthesize zinc, so we must obtain it from external sources.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium from the gastrointestinal tract. This absorption is critical for bone health and promotes bone mineralization. Without vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, soft, or misshapen.

Betaine Hydrochloride and Glutamic Acid Hydrochloride

Additionally, this formula contains betaine hydrochloride and glutamic acid hydrochloride. They are added in order to improve the absorption of all three components: calcium, magnesium and zinc.
