Mag Cal Night

Magnesium-Calcium Mineral Complex

Structure & Repair

Most people are aware of the need for proper vitamins and minerals to support daily health and body functions. It is important to provide our bodies with nighttime nutrients to support the critical growth and repair systems that operate during sleep. While we sleep, our bodies busily repair and replenish themselves. This requires elemental macro-minerals, particularly Magnesium & Calcium. Minerals are inorganic; our bodies do not produce them. We must rely upon nutrient intake to supply the elements critical to our good health and physical well-being. Mag Cal Night was specifically formulated to provide the complete and comprehensive range of minerals and cofactors necessary to support our body’s rejuvenation processes while we sleep.

Mag Cal Night Ingredients

Ratio: Magnesium: Calcium 1.7:1

Magnesium: This highly important essential mineral is required for energy production and is an important part of 800+ important biochemical reactions occurring throughout the body. Magnesium can improve cognition and memory and can alleviate conditions of anxiety, sleeplessness, migraines, nervousness, hypertension, & PMS. This primary mineral is an essential cofactor for glucose transport and is a key regulator of blood sugar and the assimilation of starches and fiber into its subsequent conversion into energy in the liver. A deficiency of this important mineral can ultimately lead to diabetes, heart disease, nerve damage, and retinopathy. Magnesium, contained in all greens, is a central component of chlorophyll. It is used by all cells down to DNA replication and actively works with Calcium while keeping calcium levels in check. Together, Magnesium and Calcium build and maintain bone and teeth health, relax muscles and nerves, help the cardiovascular system maintain normal heart rhythm, regulate blood sugar, increase metabolism, and improve digestion.

Magnesium Glycinate: (20%, 190 mg) A well-absorbed, less laxative form. This functional form helps the body buffer the harmful effects of glycophates that are prevalent in the environment. It helps improve sleep quality as it relieves stress & anxiety. Magnesium Glycinate promotes muscle relaxation and recovery, including the heart muscle. Both these Magnesium sources aid detoxification caused by environmental stresses. Magnesium, in general, helps the body stay looser and more relaxed.

Calcium: An essential macro-mineral that our bodies need in large amounts. 99% of our body’s calcium is found in bones and teeth; the lack of proper calcium intake will cause the body to draw calcium out of our bones. One of the most common debilitating diseases caused by a lack of calcium is osteoporosis, which is the loss of bone calcium. This occurs especially as we age and causes bones to become porous, weak, and brittle. Calcium is important in numerous other ways, such as supporting intercellular DNA replication and cell structure. Calcium supports the cardiovascular system, increases oxygen reserves, lowers blood pressure, and helps nutrients and ions enter cells. Working together with magnesium, it is important for nerve transmission, which helps promote a good night’s sleep. Calcium and Magnesium are intertwined in supporting bone health, teeth formation, increasing nutrient absorption, and numerous other functions. They create a beneficial, healthy, mildly alkaline cellular environment.

Lithothamnion (314.4mg Calcium): A coralline (calcified mineral-rich fronds) red algae from the North Iceland or Northwest Ireland coasts, 75 feet below the ocean’s surface. These algae attract and concentrate over 70 minerals. Their unique honeycomb structure allows them to collect calcium, making it bioavailable. Their composition is 33% calcium and 3% magnesium in a synergetic matrix that is rich in additional minerals and trace minerals. Lithothamnion is highly absorbable and helps re-mineralize the body. It is considered an antacid and anti-spasmodic, and it helps reduce inflammation. Research shows that Lithothamnion preserves bone density, improves joint health, and increases mobility. This is our single source of Calcium. Lithothamnion & Aquamin are perfect complements to each other.

Vitamin K2 (as MK-7): A major player in promoting bone health, Vitamin K₂  is a cofactor to Calcium and is highly absorbable. MK-7 K2 provides the highest level of Vitamin K activity. It works in conjunction with Vitamin D to provide for the normal clotting of blood, and it helps regulate blood pressure.  It activates osteocalcin, a protein linked to increased bone-matrix formation that encourages bone mineral density. Vitamin K2 helps prevent heart disease caused by arterial calcifications by inhibiting Calcium deposits on artery walls.

Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol, preferred, naturally occurring Vitamin D): Important for proper calcium assimilation and the absorption of magnesium, phosphorus, and other minerals. Though the “sunshine vitamin” is produced in the skin with exposure to sunlight, most people do not get enough sunlight to make an adequate amount of Vitamin D. This and calcium help maintain bone density by assisting our body with absorbing and utilizing calcium and magnesium. Vitamin D is a hormone precursor; it is helpful with sustaining and maintaining the body’s rhythms, balance, and overall mood. Vitamin D3 is an antioxidant that supports cell growth and neuromuscular functioning. A very important cofactor indeed!

Acerola (25% Vitamin C): The Acerola berry contains a potent, natural occurring Vitamin C at 25%. It is a powerful antioxidant that works synergistically with other antioxidants. This flavonoid is also a natural preservative. Acerola also contains/Vitamin K, B vitamins, minerals, complex carbohydrates, and pantothenic acid. Vitamin C helps the immune system fight colds and heal wounds and bruises. It supports capillary and tissue health, red blood cell production, and strengthening cell walls. It is also rich in bioflavonoids, necessary for collagen formation.
