DESCRIPTION

1:1 vs. 2:1 Calcium to Magnesium Ratio - Which Product Suits you Best? - Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium are all important minerals in the body for electrolyte functions, bone metabolism, energy generation, and numerous of other enzyme systems.* The ratio of Calcium to Magnesium supplementation is a controversial issue by nutritionists, so Optimal Nutrients is offering both a 2:1 and a 1:1 ratio to suit individual needs. The 2:1 Electrolyte (Calcium to Magnesium ratio) is recommended for those who have higher Calcium demands: those of us who do little to moderate exercise and are specially concerned about bone loss because they do not consume enough Calcium in their daily diet.* The 1:1 Electrolyte (Calcium to Magnesium ratio) is recommended for those who have higher Magnesium demands due to heavy exercise or poor Magensium consumption in the diet. *

RESEARCH SUMMARY

  • Electrolyte Functions* - Potassium has been well-researched for its role as an electrolyte in the body. It is important for the sending of nerve impulses, contraction of muscles, and releasing energy from protein, fat, and carbohydrates during metabolism.* Magnesium acts as a cofactor in the conversion of fats, protein, and carbohydrates to energy, and is an important electrolyte involved in nerve and muscle function. Athletes often have higher demands for Magnesium, and so a 1:1 ratio is recommended in supplementation.*
  • Bone Health* - Calcium has been well researched for its role in maintaining bone health and from preventing bone loss.* Magnesium has been well researched for its role in maintaining bone health and from preventing bone loss.*
  • PMS Support* - Calcium has been found to reduce PMS symptoms by half by women taking daily Calcium supplements.
