RxLink Calcium & Magnesium Plus with Boron & Vitamin D

RxLink Calcium & Magnesium Plus
With Boron & Vitamin D
DESCRIPTION
RxLink Calcium & Magnesium Plus formula is designed to provide
the structural components, as well as help support some of the
complex biochemical and physiological processes involved in
building and maintaining strong, healthy bone structure. Each
tablet provides 500 mg of calcium and 250 mg of magnesium.
FUNCTIONS
The adult human body contains approximately 1,200 g of
calcium, about 99% of which is present in the skeleton, and
20-30 g of magnesium with about 60% located in bone.
The process of building and maintaining bone structure
involves numerous biochemical and physiological processes.
Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are the two primary types of bone
cells involved in maintaining skeletal structure. Osteoblasts
are responsible for bone mineralization (building new bone).
Osteoclasts are responsible for secreting acid and enzymes
that help dissolve “old” bone tissue into calcium and other
components, some of which may be reused by the body. This
process is known as “resorption”. In children and adolescents,
the rate of formation of bone mineral predominates over the
rate of resorption. In later life, resorption predominates over
formation. Therefore, in normal aging, there is a gradual loss
of bone. It is generally accepted that obtaining enough dietary
calcium throughout life can significantly decrease the risk
of developing osteoporosis. Among other factors, such as
regular exercise, gender, and race, calcium supplementation
during childhood and adolescence appears to be a prerequisite
for maintaining adequate bone density later in life. But even
elderly osteoporotic patients can benefit significantly from
supplementation with dietary calcium. Other nutrients like
boron, an essential trace mineral, is required for various
hormonal process that impact bone health, and helps support
the functions of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D.
INDICATIONS
RxLink Calcium & Magnesium Plus may be a useful dietary
supplement for those looking to augment their calcium and
magnesium intake without having to take numerous pills.
