Calcium is required for muscle contraction, blood vessel expansion and contraction, secretion of hormones and enzymes, and transmitting impulses throughout the nervous system. The body strives to maintain constant concentrations of calcium in blood, muscle, and intercellular fluids, though less than \u0026lt;1% of total body calcium is needed to support these functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe remaining 99% of the body's calcium supply is stored in the bones and teeth where it supports their structure. Bone itself undergoes continuous remodeling, with constant resorption and deposition of calcium into new bone. The balance between bone resorption and deposition changes with age. Bone formation exceeds resorption in growing children, whereas in early and middle adulthood both processes are relatively equal. In aging adults, particularly among postmenopausal women, bone breakdown exceeds formation, resulting in bone loss that increases the risk of osteoporosis over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMagnesium Deficiency\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eEven though dietary surveys suggest that many Americans do not get recommended amounts of magnesium, symptoms of magnesium deficiency are rarely seen in the US. However, there is concern that many people may not have enough body stores of magnesium because dietary intake may not be high enough. Having enough body stores of magnesium may be protective against disorders such as cardiovascular disease and immune dysfunction. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe health status of the digestive system and the kidneys significantly influence magnesium status. Magnesium is absorbed in the intestines and then transported through the blood to cells and tissues. Approximately one-third to one-half of dietary magnesium is absorbed into the body. Gastrointestinal disorders that impair absorption such as Crohn's disease can limit the body's ability to absorb magnesium. These disorders can deplete the body's stores of magnesium and in extreme cases may result in magnesium deficiency. Chronic or excessive vomiting and diarrhea may also result in magnesium depletion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHealthy kidneys are able to limit urinary excretion of magnesium to make up for low dietary intake. However, excessive loss of magnesium in urine can be a side effect of some medications and can also occur in cases of poorly-controlled diabetes and alcohol abuse. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarly signs of magnesium deficiency include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and weakness. As magnesium deficiency worsens, numbness, tingling, muscle contractions and cramps, seizures (sudden changes in behaviors caused by excessive electrical activity in the brain), personality changes, abnormal heart rhythms, and coronary spasms can occur . Severe magnesium deficiency can result in low levels of calcium in the blood (hypocalcemia). Magnesium deficiency is also associated with low levels of potassium in the blood (hypokalemia). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of these symptoms are general and can result from a variety of medical conditions other than magnesium deficiency. It is important to have a physician evaluate health complaints and problems so that appropriate care can be given.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy we need Potassium\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePotassium\u003c\/strong\u003e is a very important mineral for the proper function of all cells, tissues, and organs in the human body. It is also an electrolyte, a substance that conducts electricity in the body, along with sodium, chloride, calcium, and magnesium. Potassium is crucial to heart function and plays a key role in skeletal and smooth muscle contraction, making it important for normal digestive and muscular function, too. Many foods contain potassium, including all meats, some types of fish (such as salmon, cod, and flounder), and many fruits, vegetables, and legumes. Dairy products are also good sources of potassium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving too much potassium in the blood is called hyperkalemia; having too little is known as hypokalemia. Keeping the right potassium balance in the body depends on the amount of sodium and magnesium in the blood. Too much sodium -- common in Western diets that use a lot of salt -- may increase the need for potassium. Diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, malnutrition, malabsorption syndromes (such as Crohn's disease) can also cause potassium deficiency, as well as use of a kind of heart medicine called loop diuretics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost people get all of the potassium they need from a healthy diet rich in vegetables and fruits. Older people have a greater risk of hyperkalemia because our kidneys are less efficient at eliminating potassium as we age. Older people should be careful when taking medication that may affect potassium levels, such as anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and ACE inhibitors (see section on Interactions).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Vitamin D is Important!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eVitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in very few foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. It is also produced endogenously when ultraviolet rays from sunlight strike the skin and trigger vitamin D synthesisVitamin D obtained from sun exposure, food, and supplements is biologically inert and must undergo two hydroxylations in the body for activation. The first occurs in the liver and converts vitamin D to 25-hydroxyvitamin D also known as calcidiol. The second occurs primarily in the kidney and forms the physiologically active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin Dalso known as calcitriol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D is essential for promoting calcium absorption in the gut and maintaining adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentrations to enable normal mineralization of bone and prevent hypocalcemic tetany. It is also needed for bone growth and bone remodeling by osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen. Vitamin D sufficiency prevents rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults Together with calcium, vitamin D also helps protect older adults from osteoporosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D has other roles in human health, including modulation of neuromuscular and immune function and reduction of inflammation. Many genes encoding proteins that regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis are modulated in part by vitamin D. Many laboratory-cultured human cells have vitamin D receptors and some convert D to. It remains to be determined whether cells with vitamin D receptors in the intact human carry out this conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoron\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAnother very important mineral present in this supplement is boron which is an essential trace mineral needed for several body functions such as maintaining joint and bone functions. Boron helps in absorption of magnesium, calcium and vitamin D. The utilization of calcium and the activation of Vitamin D are also assisted by it. It should be taken along with other minerals and vitamins.BenefitsBoron is good for healthy bones due to efficient absorption of calcium. Boron can also be helpful for postmenopausal osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and can be useful for ischemic heart disease\u003c\/p\u003e                      \u003c\/span\u003e                  \u003c!-- DIRECTIONS --\u003e                \u003chr\u003e        \u003cdiv class=\"hlStyleB\" style=\"margin:10px 0 18px\"\u003e          \u003cspan style=\"font-size:15px;color:#393939\"\u003e            \u003cdiv class=\"subHdrH2 cf\"\u003eDirections\u003c\/div\u003e            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hlStyleB\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse only as directed.
