Calcium and Magnesium are 2 minerals that aid in the management of calcium deficiency states. Magnesium is important for the absorption of the calcium.
The Blackmores Total Calcium and Magnesium combines both of these minerals for best results.

Features and benefits
The levels of calcium and magnesium in this formula are in the desired ratio of 2: 1
Contains co-factors vitamin D3, vitamin K1 and minerals to aid in the absorption and function of calcium

How it works
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, and approximately 99% of the body’s calcium exists in the bones. The major function of calcium is building and maintaining bones and teeth.

Calcium is also involved in various metabolic roles such as nerve transmission, contraction of muscles and the regulation of heart muscle function.
Both calcium and magnesium are essential for bone health, as well as playing important roles in healthy muscle and nerve function. The levels of calcium and magnesium in this formula are in the desired ratio of 2: 1.
Vitamin D is essential for the absorption and utilisation of calcium. Deficiency of vitamin D results in lack of bone strength and density, and joint pain.
