Best Calcium Supplement

by Jenni Wiltz

I've spent a long time looking for the best calcium supplement--like many women, I'm concerned about osteoporosis in my future. I want to make sure I'm doing what I can now to prevent this terrible disorder from affecting me in later years. The best way I've found to do that is to take a calcium magnesium supplement.

In addition to making your bones strong, calcium plays an important role in blood clotting and nerve transmission. Your bones act as a reservoir for calcium. If your diet is low in calcium, you body will take the remaining necessary amount out of your bones, leaving them less than amply supplied to fight off calcium osteoporosis.

What's the Best Calcium Supplement for Me?

The best calcium supplement is one that will regulate both your calcium and magnesium intake. The two minerals have a strange, symbiotic relationship: magnesium regulates calcium's uses within the body and actually controls how much calcium is in the body, since too much of that mineral can cause cell death. It's best to take the two minerals together, in their proper proportions.

If you get the right amounts of calcium and magnesium, your body will look and feel younger. The proportions are key, since excess calcium can become a liability, actually leading to the dangerous effects of magnesium deficiency. Excess calcium can lead to arthritis, calcification of internal organs, and heart disease.
