Trophic’s Calcium and Magnesium are true chelated minerals and and have a combined molecular weight of about 850 daltons. This means that this form of the minerals is the most readily assimilated by the body because it is small enough to pass through the intestinal wall and is absorbed intact. Calcium is vital to the development and maintenance of bones, teeth and gums, as well as for energy production, muscle contraction and nerve function. Magnesium is crucial to the uptake of calcium and potassium in the body, and is responsible for relaxing muscles, blood clotting, immune system support and the formation of ATP (energy storing molecule in the body).
