Salus Calcium Magnesium Bonus 500mL+250mL
- Calcium Magnesium With Zinc And Vitamin D Liquid Formula Even after we've stopped growing, our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt to repair microfractures and maintain their health
- This ongoing process is called bone remodeling
- In addition to their structural role, our bones also serve as a reservoir for calcium and magnesium, which are used to keep our blood and tissues balanced in a state of homeostasis, a vital condition for survival
- So, bones are not just essential for physical movement, but also for regulating the minerals that help maintain the body's equilibrium
- A deficiency in zinc from diet and vitamin D from sunlight can disrupt bone remodeling, leading to weakened and brittle bones
- Zinc is crucial for bone development and regeneration, while vitamin D enhances calcium absorption and supports its incorporation into bone tissue
- Over time, the continual release of calcium and magnesium from bones to maintain homeostasis and muscle function can weaken bone density, resulting in a condition known as osteoporosis
- Osteoporosis significantly increases the risk of fractures and falls, leading to a decline in quality of life, well-being, and independence, especially as we age
- Bone density loss occurs gradually and often goes unnoticed until an osteoporosis diagnosis or a fracture occurs
- In Canada, 10% of people over 40 and 21% of postmenopausal women suffer from osteoporosis
- Alarmingly, after a hip fracture, 22% of women and 33% of men in Canada die within the first year, with a higher mortality risk persisting over the following decade
- These statistics are concerning, particularly because osteoporosis is largely preventable
- Consuming sufficient amounts of calcium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin D—whether through diet, sun exposure, or supplements—is crucial to preventing osteoporosis
- The recommended daily intake is 1,000-1,200 mg of calcium, 8-11 mg of zinc, and at least 400 mg of magnesium
- Studies suggest that most people don't meet these requirements through diet alone, making it necessary to combine food with supplementation
- Salus Calcium-Magnesium helps support the development and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth, promotes proper muscle function, and aids in maintaining homeostasis by providing essential nutrients like calcium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin D
