About, ingredients & important information
The mineral foundation for bones and teeth.
Calcium and magnesium do their best work together, not apart. IPS Calmag pairs two calcium sources with two magnesium sources, plus vitamin D3, zinc, manganese, copper, calcium ascorbate for vitamin C, and green rooibos, in one formula. It’s a mineral supplement that contributes to the development and maintenance of bones and teeth — and calcium intake, combined with sufficient vitamin D, a healthy diet and regular exercise, may help reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis later in life.
Why these ingredients
- Calcium is a macro mineral — one the body needs in relatively large amounts — and is only absorbed properly in the presence of vitamin D, which is why the two are paired here. Contributes to the development and maintenance of bones and teeth.
- Magnesium is essential for normal energy production, and for muscles to contract and relax. Contributes to the maintenance of muscle function, including the heart muscle, and to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.
- Copper helps the body produce and repair connective tissue, and helps produce red blood cells.
- Manganese also contributes to the production of connective tissue and bone.
This might be for you if…
- You want your calcium and magnesium in one formula, rather than juggling two bottles.
- You’re building bone-health habits now rather than waiting for a bone density scan to prompt you.
- You’re comfortable taking it before breakfast, as directed, alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise — not instead of them.
