Calcium Magnesium DK - 180 Capsules

The Importance of Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D, and Vitamin K for Bone Health

Calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin K are all essential nutrients for maintaining bone health. Calcium and magnesium are minerals that are necessary for the development and maintenance of bones and teeth.* Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that is necessary for the absorption of calcium and magnesium in the intestine.* Vitamin K is a nutrient that further supports bone health through its participation in healthy bone calcification.* All of these nutrients are important for the prevention of osteoporosis and other bone diseases.

Calcium

Calcium is a mineral that is necessary for the development and maintenance of bones and teeth.* 99% of the calcium in our bodies is stored in our bones and teeth, where it provides strength and structure.* The other 1% of calcium is found in our blood, where it performs various functions such as regulates muscle contractions, supports nerve function, and helps to control blood pressure.* Our bodies cannot produce calcium on their own, so we must get it from our diets. Good sources of calcium include dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt; dark leafy green vegetables such as spinach and kale; fish with edible bones such as sardines and salmon; and nuts and seeds such as almonds and sesame seeds.

Magnesium

Magnesium is a mineral that is necessary for the development and maintenance of bones.* 60% of the magnesium in our bodies is stored in our bones, where it provides strength and structure.* The other 40% of magnesium is found in our muscles, where it supports muscle function.* Magnesium also plays a role in energy metabolism, DNA synthesis, and protein synthesis. *Our bodies cannot produce magnesium on their own, so we must get it from our diets. Good sources of magnesium include dark leafy green vegetables such as spinach and Swiss chard; whole grains such as quinoa and brown rice; beans such as black beans and kidney beans; nuts such as cashews and Brazil nuts; fish such as tuna and halibut; and avocados.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that is necessary for the absorption of calcium in the intestine.* It has also been shown to play a critical role in bone metabolism.* Our bodies can produce vitamin D when our skin is exposed to sunlight. However, many people do not get enough sunlight exposure to meet their vitamin D needs. Good food sources of vitamin D include fatty fish such as tuna, mackerel, or salmon; eggs; fortified milk or orange juice; fortified cereals; mushrooms exposed to ultraviolet light.

Vitamin K

Vitamin K is a nutrient that further supports bone health through its participation in healthy bone calcification.* There are two types of vitamin K: phylloquinone (K1) which is found in green leafy vegetables such as kale or spinach;*and menaquinones (K2) which are found in fermented foods such as natto or cheese.* Our bodies need both types of vitamin K for proper bone health.

In Summary:

Calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin K are all essential nutrients for maintaining bone health. Calcium & magnesium provide strength & structure to bones while vitamins D & K help with the absorption of these minerals into the body & support bone calcification respectively. Foods rich in these nutrients include dairy products, dark leafy greens, fish & seafood , whole grains , beans , nuts , avocados & mushrooms . It's important to ensure that you're getting enough of these nutrients either through your diet or via supplements to keep your bones healthy & prevent osteoporosis .*
