Calmag: the dynamic duo your body needs

Your body needs the right balance of vitamins and minerals to stay strong, energised, and healthy. Among the most important of these are calcium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin D – and you’ll find all of them in IPS Calmag, along with other helpful nutrients. Let’s break down why these ingredients are essential and how they support your health every day.

1. Strong Bones and Teeth

Calcium is the key mineral your body uses to build bones and teeth. About 99% of your calcium is stored in your bones, helping to keep them strong and dense ​(1; 2)​. Your body is constantly renewing bone tissue, and if it doesn’t get enough calcium, bones can become weak over time ​(3)​.

A lack of calcium may lead to:

• Muscle aches and twitches
• Cramps and spasms
• Gum problems

Magnesium supports this process by helping your body activate vitamin D, which is needed to absorb calcium properly ​(4; 5)​. Without enough magnesium, even taking calcium might not be enough!

The IPS Calmag contains both calcium and magnesium, plus vitamin D—a powerful trio that may reduce the risk of bone loss when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

2. Healthy Muscle Function

Your muscles depend on calcium and magnesium to move. Calcium triggers muscle contraction (like when you flex your arm), and magnesium helps them relax afterward ​(6; 7)​. This natural balancing act can help prevent painful cramps and spasms ​(7)​.

And remember: your heart is a muscle, too. These minerals may help keep it beating steadily and efficiently.

3. Nerve Support and Brain Health

Your nerves rely on minerals to send signals throughout your body. Calcium helps release tiny chemical messengers (called neurotransmitters) that carry signals between nerve cells ​(8; 9; 10; 11)​. Magnesium helps regulate how often those signals are sent—keeping your brain and nerves in harmony ​(12; 13)​.

4. Muscle Repair and Immune Function

Zinc is another powerhouse mineral included in our IPS Calmag. It’s involved in repairing muscles, building proteins, and helping your body grow and heal ​(14)​. Zinc also supports a healthy immune system and helps your body make new cells ​(15)​.

5. Additional Nutrients for Full-Body Support

IPS Calmag also includes:

• Copper and Manganese – These trace minerals help your body make and repair connective tissue, bone, and red blood cells ​(16)​.
• Green Oxithinᵀᴹ – A patented extract from green rooibos leaves that works as an antioxidant, protecting your cells from damage caused by free radicals ​(17)​.
• Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) – Another powerful antioxidant. It supports your immune system, helps make collagen for healthy skin and joints, and speeds up wound healing ​(18)​.

In Summary

IPS Calmag is more than just a calcium supplement. It’s a well-rounded formula designed to support your bones, muscles, nerves, and overall vitality. With key ingredients like calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamin D, and antioxidants like Green Oxithinᵀᴹ and vitamin C, it’s a smart choice for keeping your body strong, balanced, and energized.
