The Vitamin Creek

Osteo Calm ®

We hear a lot about calcium and how important it is to our bones. But what we don’t hear is that the balance of calcium and magnesium is a critical factor not only for bone health but for overall health in general. Magnesium helps the body transport and absorb calcium into the bones and makes bones stronger and more flexible.

The National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements, says, “Some evidence suggests that magnesium deficiency may be an additional risk factor for postmenopausal osteoporosis. This may be due to the fact that magnesium alters calcium metabolism and the hormones that regulate calcium. Several human studies have suggested that magnesium supplementation may improve bone mineral density to a greater degree than a lower magnesium intake. Diets that provide recommended levels of magnesium are beneficial for bone health.”**

Many experts agree that the majority of the population don’t meet the minimum daily requirement for magnesium in their everyday diets. Magnesium supplementation is the way to balance calcium intake (from calcium in the diet and/or in dietary supplements) and to maintain a healthy level of magnesium—required for over 300 of the body’s biochemical processes. This applies to both women and men. Statistically, one in two women and one in four men over age 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their future.

The Liquid Revolution

No matter how good the vitamins or mineral supplements are that you start with, they are only as good as they are bioavailable. Supplements have to be absorbed and assimilated into the body and be available at the proper area in order to be of use. All pills and capsules have to dissolve into liquid form before they can be absorbed and assimilated. Some people with weaker digestive systems (and digestive ability often weakens with age) don’t fully break these down, and the result is only partial or no absorption and little or no benefit.

At Natural Vitality we start with liquid. There’s nothing to break down. The nutrients are naturally engineered for bioavailability. For those who have trouble taking pills and capsules, liquid supplements avoid the issue altogether. You also get fast action—you don’t have to wait for supplements to be digested.

Premium Quality Ingredients

Osteo Calm is designed for solubility (which means it goes into solution in liquid) and bioavailability superior to many less expensive forms of calcium, such as the commonly used calcium carbonate.

    Our magnesium is multi-award-winning Natural Calm®, the best-selling magnesium in the natural products marketplace for five years running.

    We believe the best balance of calcium and magnesium is 1:1, not the two calcium to one magnesium that you’ll find in most cal-mag products.

Vitamins to Support Bone Health

Along with vitamins A, C, B6 and folic acid, two vitamins stand out as having an important role in bone health.  

Vitamin D3 is essential for the efficient use of calcium by the body. According to the National Coalition for Osteoporosis and Related Bone Diseases, “Vitamin D is necessary for the absorption of calcium....For bone health in particular, calcium partners with vitamin D; a deficiency of either can contribute to the mechanism of bone loss.”

Osteo Calm contains 2,000 IU of vitamin D3, so you don’t need to buy a separate vitamin D supplement.

Vitamin K2 is needed for proper bone formation. It helps put calcium in the bones rather than in your artery walls—where you don’t want it.

All minerals in Osteo Calm that contribute to strong bones are in ionic form (having molecular charge that allows the element to readily bond with water) for better absorption. These include zinc, manganese, potassium and boron.

Convenient and Tasty

Osteo Calm is formulated for effectiveness, but it’s also designed to be a convenient and enjoyable part of your daily routine. Simply mix with an equal amount of water or add to juice or a smoothie. Many people comment on its tasty orange-vanilla flavor and appreciate our use of organic rather than “natural” flavors. Osteo Calm is vegetarian, gluten free and non-GM and is sweetened with organic agave nectar and organic stevia.

We suggest starting with ⅓ capful and gradually increasing to ⅓ capful twice a day, then working up to ½ capful twice daily. Because magnesium can have a mild natural laxative effect (which is good news for many who experience constipation), you can judge the optimal amount when bowels are comfortably loose.

Your body needs calcium, magnesium and vitamin D every day. We hope you’ll find Osteo Calm a pleasant way to help you feel healthier, more relaxed and sustainably energized.
