It's well-established that many people's diets lack sufficient amounts of two essential nutrients for bone formation: calcium and magnesium, and that low calcium intakes can lead to a decline in bone mass with age.
The UK Department of Health recommends that women consume up to 1,200 mg of calcium per day, a level that is difficult to achieve through diet alone, especially if it is a diet that includes few dairy products.
Both calcium and magnesium contribute to energy-yielding metabolism, normal cell division and differentiation, and the normal function of teeth and muscles. Magnesium, which is increasingly lacking in the foods we consume, is known for its role in calcium fixation in bones. It also contributes to normal psychological function, protein synthesis, and the nervous system, and contributes to electrolyte balance.
It also helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
Calcium, for its part, contributes to normal blood clotting, and to the normal functioning of neurotransmission and digestive enzymes.
Vitamins D and K are involved in the maintenance of normal bones, and vitamin K in particular contributes to normal blood clotting. Vitamin D is essential for a immune system in good condition and important for the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus.
Calcium contributes to reducing bone demineralization in postmenopausal women. Low bone mineral density is a risk factor for osteoporotic bone fractures in women over 50 years of age.
Lamberts Osteoguard supplies calcium and magnesium along with boron and vitamins D and K. It is an all-in-one bone health formula containing high levels of calcium and magnesium, along with boron and vitamins D and K. Although one tablet a day provides good support for most diets, two tablets a day are preferable for those whose diet contains few dairy products, or for women of menopause. Osteoguard is an excellent partner for most multiple formulas.
We use fine-grade (pharmaceutical-grade) mineral compounds in this product to help maximize absorption, and the tablets are coated for easy swallowing.
