The dietary intake of calcium and magnesium tends to be low in the general diet. While low intakes effect all populations, greater significance is seen in post-menopausal women, elderly men and women, and in children. In fact, wide spread deficits have been noted in post-menopausal women and the elderly. Additionally, the dietary requirement for young children and adolescent girls is elevated, due to their increased requirement for skeletal growth and to maximize bone health. C/Cal/Mag™ supplies 400 mg of elemental calcium, 200 mg of elemental magnesium, and 180 mg of vitamin C per serving. The inclusion of vitamin C to the formulation provides the added benefits of a key antioxidant, as well as enhanced calcium availability. The addition of glucose polymers also enhances absorption. The normal absorption of calcium salts range from 7-18%. One study(Kelly, et. at.; Gastroenterology 87: 596-600, 1984) determined that calcium absorption increased from two to five times, in both normal and dysfunctional tracts, with the inclusion of glucose polymers. Supplied as a naturally flavored powder. C/Cal/Mag™ offers the advantages of being highly soluble, easily swallowed and readily absorbed. C/Cal/Mag™ is easy to administer to children, adolescents and seniors alike by adding it to juice or other beverages. Each bottle provides 22 servings of C/Cal/Mag™.
