Your body uses macro minerals in certain ratios to support bone health.

Calcium and magnesium work together in a 2:1 ratio to maintain bone structure and integrity.

If this ratio is off, the body begins to lose one or more minerals before it can utilize them.

Get the right ratio of calcium, magnesium and more in this popular structural system formula!

Calcium Plus Vitamin D provides important amounts of 3 essential minerals, plus vitamin D3. It also contains alfalfa for added nutritional support.

This formula provides calcium and magnesium working together in the optimal 2:1 ratio for bone integrity and structure support.

Calcium is essential to the health of bones, teeth and muscles, and it plays an essential role in blood clotting, nerve conduction and many cellular functions. Combined with other trace minerals needed by the body, calcium helps replenish bone tissue that is constantly being replaced. It is needed by the immune system and is critical to muscle contractions. Your skeleton acts like a bank for calcium, storing it until you need it. And it serves a similar role for phosphorus and magnesium. Calcium comprises half of all the minerals in the body.

Magnesium is present in a 1:2 ratio with calcium. Without this important ratio, the body begins to lose one or more minerals before it can utilize them. Calcium and magnesium depend on each other for proper assimilation in the body. In addition, magnesium is an integral part of more than 300 enzymes in the body and, with calcium, affects nerve and muscle functions. It's also critical for bone development and health; heart, brain and kidney function; and metabolism. Plus, magnesium supports a healthy pregnancy.

Vitamin D offers a host of health benefits, including ensuring the proper dietary absorption of calcium. Along with calcium and other minerals, vitamin D supports bone health and helps calcium do its job. Vitamin D also influences mood, and it supports both the innate and adaptive branches of the immune system. At least 400 IU of vitamin D is needed on a daily basis, especially for people not getting enough sunshine (D is the “sunshine vitamin”). In 1952, a team of researchers discovered that vitamin D mobilized calcium from the bone into the plasma. This led to the understanding of vitamin D’s role in maintaining serum calcium, which affects bone strength and neuromuscular function.

Phosphorus is the second most abundant mineral in the body. It works with calcium. This formulation provides calcium and phosphorus at a 2:1 ratio. Phosphorus works synergistically with B vitamins to help maintain a proper fluid balance in the body. Eighty-five percent of the phosphorus found in the body is found in the bone.

Alfalfa roots grow deep, providing the plant with a rich source of nutrients not always found at the ground’s surface. Alfalfa is rich in nutrients, including cleansing chlorophyll, antioxidants and vitamin C. Peoples of the world have used its leaves, sprouts and seeds for traditional remedies. Modern herbalists use it to help build the blood and as a nutritive tonic. Alfalfa also supports a healthy immune response needed for the function of structural tissues.
