Magnesium helps promote the absorption of calcium and is an important partner to calcium in cardiovascular health. When calcium and magnesium are out of balance within the body, calcium may be deposited in the heart and other muscles. Calcium may also be deposited in the kidneys, causing kidney stones. The use of calcium citrate supplements appears to reduce this risk. When Vitamin D is added to the formula, absorption of the calcium is increased even further.
Vitamin D works with the parathyroid hormone to regulate the amount of calcium in the blood.
SISU Woman Maxi Cal contains just the right amount of Vitamin D to assist deposition of calcium. This is significant. Many health professionals recommend that women increase the dosage of calcium above what is recommended on the product label. 100 IU References 1.
