Cal/Mag 1:1

Chelated calcium and magnesium in a 1:1 ratio

When in balance, calcium and magnesium play vital roles in many areas of human health. Calcium is crucial for muscle contraction, proper blood clotting, wound healing, the secretion of hormones and enzymes, nerve transmission, the building of strong bones and teeth, and for inhibiting the build-up of lead in the body.

Magnesium, one of the most critical minerals in the human body, is involved in hundreds of enzyme reactions and plays a pivotal role in muscle relaxation, energy production, heart health, maintenance of proper blood pressure, and in helping to prevent the accumulation of aluminum, a toxic metal implicated in many common degenerative neurological disorders.

Great examples of this harmonious duo: calcium is necessary for muscles to contract, while magnesium is needed for muscles to relax; calcium works to stimulate nerves, while magnesium calms the nerves.

Cal/Mag 1:1 offers chelated calcium and magnesium in equal amounts to one another, with 200 mg of each mineral per a 2 capsule serving. While the standard ratio for calcium to magnesium is 2:1, magnesium deficiencies have become very common in the US, often caused by stress, alcohol consumption, exercise, excessive sweating, certain medications such as birth control pills, various antibiotics, and common diuretics. Signs and symptoms of magnesium deficiency include fatigue, irritability, becoming easily startled, muscle cramps/twitches, difficulty phasing out background noises, and insomnia.

Who should consider Cal/Mag 1:1?
This product is ideal for people who exhibit signs of a magnesium deficiency (mentioned above) and/or for people whose magnesium levels test low, so that they can help to restore the calcium-magnesium balance.

Two choices for calcium with magnesium supplementation
Cal/Mag 2:1 offers chelated calcium and magnesium in the standard 2:1 ratio, the ratio found in the human body. It has long been understood that the key to these two minerals comes, not simply from their extensive individual roles, but rather from the synergistic effects when they are in proper balance with one another.

Cal/Mag 1:1 offers chelated calcium and magnesium in equal amounts to one another, with 200 mg of each mineral per a 2 capsule serving. While the standard ratio for calcium to magnesium is 2:1, magnesium deficiencies have become very common in the US, often caused by stress, alcohol consumption, exercise, excessive sweating, certain medications such as birth control pills, various antibiotics, and common diuretics.

Signs and symptoms of magnesium deficiency include:

• Fatigue
• Irritability
• Becoming easily startled
• Muscle cramps/twitches
• Difficulty phasing out background noises
• Insomnia

A fundamental point is that overly imbalanced calcium supplementation can actually lead to greater demand for magnesium.

Why Albion Mineral Amino Acid Chelates are superior to mineral salts:

• Most bioavailable form: not only allows for superior absorption, but is retained better in body tissue such as bone
• Easy to tolerate: chelated calcium is better tolerated than non-bound calcium salts; does not cause the milk-alkali syndrome which can lead to stomach upset and kidney problems
• Do not interfere with the absorption of other minerals
• Exceptionally stable: stays intact throughout the digestive system
• Phytates (i.e., from fiber) and picolinates will not interfere with the absorption of Albion chelated minerals due to these minerals stability.

Great buffers for balancing pH
Both calcium and magnesium are alkalinizing minerals, functioning as buffers which help keep the bodys pH from becoming too acidic. Thus, these minerals can easily be depleted during this buffering process in situations involving high acid diets (protein/grains). For best results in raising patient levels of these minerals, consider combining either Cal/Mag 1:1 or Cal/Mag 2:1 with alkalinizing foods (mainly fruits and vegetables) or with PaleoGreens or PaleoReds.
