To help conserve strong, sound bones, Nature's Sunshine developed Skeletal Strength formula. Its unique blend of vital nutrients counteracts many of the forces that rob the structural system of strength, flexibility under stress, and the ability to replenish the blood supply. In addition to adding strength to the structure, it soothes the nervous system that would otherwise be susceptible to tension and irritability. However, calcium does not work alone. Other nutrients are needed for it to function efficiently.
Magnesium enhances the bioavailability of calcium.
It is an essential component of bone and is calcium's helpmate. Vitamin C and phosphorus are also dependent on magnesium for proper metabolism. Under normal circumstances, two parts of calcium coexist in the body with one part each of magnesium and phosphorus. Skeletal Strength formula contains extra amounts of magnesium so that calcium is encouraged to remain in the bones. Phosphorus , when kept in balance, works in partnership with calcium.
