NSI Calcium & Magnesium -- 240 Capsules

NSI Calcium & Magnesium -- 240 Capsules

Calcium and magnesium are necessary for muscle function, providing the mechanism for muscle contraction and relaxation, including the heart muscle. In addition to the calcium, which is so commonly prescribed, scientific literature documents the need for a wide range of minerals which are vital to maintaining strong, healthy bones. For those who have already lost bone density, the proper combination of nutrients can help restore bone mass by rebuilding the organic matrix that holds minerals such as calcium and magnesium in place. Calcium Citrate & Magnesium Citrate are superior sources of elemental calcium and magnesium for healthy people. The presence of the citric and malic acid will ionize the calcium and magnesium, greatly aiding their absorption. Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

"I like this Calcium/Magnesium pill because it is easy to swallow. I also only take 6 pills a day and get results. I have tried other brands where I had to take as many as double that amount to get results. I think this is a good value."

"This is the only brand of Calcium Magnesium supplement that I have found with both elements in the citrate form, which is said to be better absorbed by the body. It is also in 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium, which is perfect. I also take this with Vitamin D3, cholecalciferol, because it helps the body absorb the calcium better. The serving size of the cal-mag is 4 tablets, but I have found that 3 is enough for me. (you can tell if you have too much if you have loose stools.) Don't take with a meal because the stomach acids might not be available to help absorb it. It also acts like an antacid and may neutralize stomach acid and impair digestion. Check out the book, "The Miracle of Magnesium" by Carolyn Dean."

Solid Cal/Mag Support!, March 20, 2009
By MyRedSandals from Oxford, OH

"I used to purchase the NSI Calcium, Magnesium & Vitamin D combination, but since I now take several other NSI supplements that also contain Vitamin D, I opted to switch to this calcium & magnesium only supplement. I take 2 in the morning and 2 at night. They are very easy to swallow and although they are a bit more expensive per dose than the previous combination, I believe they're a good addition to my regular regimen."

"I've done my research online and ended up purchasing this product due to very good reviews. True enough, my back problem was easily resolved with just few dosage taken yet. The price though is quite expensive compared w/its competitors maybe due to its effectiveness. NSI products for me are so far the best in the market. I do dare others to try it esp. those in their premenopausal stage already."

"It's hard to find a cal-mag supplement that does not use magnesium oxide. Oxide is a cheap form of magnesium that does not absorb well and is more likely to cause loose stools. I also like that it is in capsule form. Overall a great product at a good price!"

"I've tried many types of calcium suppliments and
this is the best one so far. In addition to being the
right type of calcium (citrate) and having the
necessary magnesium included, it is the easiest
type of pill to swallow! I get my vitamin D from
a separate multi-vitamin suppliment and my
doctor has warned me about excess vitamin D,
so I'm glad to find a good calcium suppliment
that doesn't include vitamin D so I can take lots
of the pills quickly and safely."

"This is a necessary addition to any multivitamin/multimineral because they are all lacking in calcium and magnesium, the 2 most important minerals to the body. I'd recommend this to anyone, especially people who exercise often."
