Magnesium and Calcium Complex, provided by Vesta Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is a unique formula designed to support healthy bone structure. Magnesium and Calcium Complex also supplies the valuable mineral zinc and Vitamin D for added support.

The adult human skeleton contains almost all of the calcium and a majority of the magnesium in the human body. Due to the change in the rate of formation of bone mineral in normal aging, there is a gradual loss of bone. This bone loss can lead to osteoporosis if not maintained through proper supplementation.

Many people believe that a weak bone structure is caused solely by a dietary calcium deficiency and that it therefore can be remedied by taking calcium supplements. It is the way calcium is absorbed and used by the body that is the most important factor, not necessarily the amount of calcium absorbed. Intestinal calcium absorption ranges vary depending on the amounts of other regulatory factors, including Magnesium, Vitamin D and Zinc.

It is known that Calcium is vital for the formation of strong bones and teeth. It protects bones and teeth from lead by inhibiting absorption of this toxic metal. It is believed that Calcium supplements are more effective when taken in smaller doses spread throughout the day.

Magnesium is very important to allow the calcium to be absorbed and used to nourish bone. Unlike Calcium, many people do not receive the appropriate amount of Magnesium in their diet. Magnesium and Calcium Complex includes more Magnesium than Calcium to make up for this deficiency.

Vitamin D is a key regulatory hormone for calcium and bone metabolism. Adequate Vitamin D is essential for ensuring normal Calcium and Magnesium absorption.

Zinc is also important for calcium uptake and helps support a healthy immune system.

The different forms of Calcium and Magnesium, combined with Vitamin D and Zinc provided in Magnesium and Calcium Complex work synergistically to provide support for a healthy bone structure.
