Quest Cal-Mag Chewable is a high-quality supplement containing calcium and magnesium in a 2:1 ratio, plus vitamin D3. The spearmint flavour gives this product a refreshing taste and makes it ideal for those who want the benefits of a high-potency calcium and magnesium supplement, but have difficulty swallowing tablets. Calcium and magnesium are vital components of bone and tooth metabolism, and both participate in energy production, muscle contraction, nerve function, and the maintenance of the acid-alkali balance of body fluids. Vitamin D is essential for the absorption of calcium.
As a dietary source of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D in a chewable format.
Adults take 1 tablet up to 3 times daily, or as directed by a health care professional.
Each chewable, spearmint-flavoured tablet of Quest Cal-Mag Chewable contains 300 mg of elemental calcium (citrate, phosphate), 150 mg of elemental magnesium (citrate, oxide), and 100 IU of vitamin D3. This product contains no artificial preservatives, colours, flavours, or added sugar, starch, milk products, yeast, gluten, or salt.
Calcium: This mineral is well known for its essential role in the formation of bones and tooth enamel; however, it also performs many other functions. Calcium is involved in fat and protein digestion and the production of energy. It is involved in blood clotting and the transmission of nerve impulses, and it regulates the contraction and relaxation of muscles, including the heart. In addition, calcium may reduce the risk of colon cancer and suppress the growth of polyps that can lead to cancer.
Magnesium: Besides its role in maintaining healthy bones by promoting the absorption of calcium, magnesium is involved in maintaining a healthy nervous system. In addition, magnesium is required for muscle relaxation, energy production, protein formation, cellular replication, the regulation of sodium and potassium in the cells, and efficient heart function.
Vitamin D: This vitamin regulates calcium metabolism. Without vitamin D, the body cannot properly absorb calcium, and the bones and teeth become soft and poorly mineralized.
Calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D supplementation for bone health is supported by extensive scientific research. Countless studies conclude that a combination of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D is required for bone health and the prevention of osteoporosis.
No known side effects at recommended dosage.
