Phyto Cal-Mag + Boron is a bioavailable unique 5:1 Cal: Mag with boron in a synergistic botanical blend.
 
The pure elemental calcium and magnesium in a 5:1 ratio mirror the ratio found in healthy plants. The presence of vitamin D3 and a slightly acidic base of pH 5.2 in this formula ensures proper assimilation of calcium and magnesium.
 
Nutrient-poor soils and food processing have resulted in the depletion of vital minerals required to maintain healthy tissue and bones. Antibiotics, oral contraceptives, NSAIDs, and diuretics all deplete the body’s mineral stores. Impaired digestion, decreased kidney function, prolonged stress, and chronic diarrhea also lead to decreased mineral levels.
 
Calcium and magnesium work together to perform a variety of physiological functions, including:
Maintenance of strong bones and teeth
Regulation of heartbeat and blood pressure 
Nerve transmissions and muscle contraction
Activating enzymes required for energy production
Neutralizing acidic toxins, pesticides, radiation
Protection against heavy metals, including lead, cadmium, mercury, aluminum and fluoride
 
In addition, calcium acts as a cofactor in the blood coagulation pathways and assists in the absorption of vitamin B12 and many other nutrients. Magnesium supports neurotransmitter functions, exerts a calming effect on the nervous system, and plays an integral part in the body’s resistance to stress.
 
Supplementation of calcium without magnesium can lead to a variety of problems. Without adequate magnesium, calcium can deposit in the soft tissues, leading to some forms of arthritis. Osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, arteriosclerosis, kidney stones, and cataracts are all calcium-related degenerative diseases.
