Cal-Mag Caps with Trace Minerals and Vitamin D3: Strong Bones, Relaxed Muscles, Supported Immunity – Synergistic Formula for Mineral Metabolism & Daily Energy

Cal-Mag Caps with Trace Minerals and Vitamin D from NOW Foods is complex formula created to support bone strength, muscle and nervous function, electrolyte balance and immunity through balanced intake of calcium, magnesium, vitamin D3 and essential trace elements. Each serving offers Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 12.5 mcg (500 IU), Calcium 500 mg (from 80% carbonate, 10% citrate, 10% malate), Magnesium 250 mg (from 80% oxide, 10% citrate, 10% malate), Zinc 7.5 mg (as L-OptiZinc® monomethionine), Copper 0.5 mg (AAC*), Manganese 2.5 mg (AAC*) and 50 mg trace mineral concentrate. Intelligent combination of mineral salts with different absorption rates and optimized gastrointestinal tolerance ensures both depot recharging and efficient tissue utilization – exactly where body needs it.

 

Detailed Benefits & Mechanisms

 

• Supporting bone mineral density & skeletal health

Calcium and vitamin D3 are pillars of bone mineralization. D3 (cholecalciferol) facilitates intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus and supports their transport to bone tissue, while calcium directly contributes to bone density and strength. Magnesium, often overlooked, is cofactor in vitamin D activation and helps form hydroxyapatite crystal. Manganese supports connective matrix formation (collagen), and copper participates in enzymes involved in collagen and elastin fiber cross-linking.

✅ Skeleton strengthening and mineral density maintenance
✅ Support for recovery after periods with low calcium intake
✅ Support for connective tissue integrity through manganese and copper

 

• Muscle and nervous function without cramps

Calcium is "start" signal for muscle contraction, magnesium is physiological brake relaxing muscle fiber, and balance between two determines contraction quality and cramp prevention. Magnesium (250 mg/serving) also contributes to membrane potential stability at neuronal level, reducing excessive excitability.

✅ Reducing cramps and muscle tension
✅ Optimal nerve transmission and neuromuscular coordination
✅ Muscle comfort during effort and after training

 

• Electrolyte balance & cellular rehydration

Magnesium and calcium work together with trace minerals to maintain fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. Presence of trace mineral concentrate (50 mg) adds elements like boron, chromium, molybdenum or selenium (in small amounts) completing micronutrient picture involved in enzymatic reactions and acid-base balance modulation.

✅ Supports fatigue resistance in perspiration or stress conditions
✅ Contributes to post-effort reserve restoration
✅ Helps muscle and cardiac rhythm stability

 

• Energy metabolism & fatigue reduction

Magnesium activates over 300 enzymes, many directly involved in ATP production (cellular energy). Zinc contributes to normal fatty acid and carbohydrate metabolism function, and vitamin D3 influences mitochondrial function indirectly through optimal mineral status.

✅ Sustained daily energy with stable levels
✅ Support for carbohydrate and lipid metabolism
✅ Less fatigue associated with mineral deficiency

• Immunity & cellular protection

Vitamin D3 is well known for role in modulating innate and adaptive immune response. Zinc (L-OptiZinc® – monomethionine) has high bioavailability and participates in antioxidant enzyme function, cutaneous-mucosal barrier integrity and efficient immune response. Copper, in physiological doses, complements redox balance through enzymes like copper-zinc superoxide dismutase.

✅ Supporting immunity in demanding periods
✅ Contributing to antioxidant defense and cellular protection
✅ Maintaining well-being in cold season or stress periods

 

• Joints, collagen & connective tissue

Manganese and copper, in amino acid-chelated forms (AAC*), support collagen and proteoglycan synthesis and maturation, key components for cartilage, ligaments and tendons. Long-term, adequate intake of these cofactors supports structural integrity and mobility.

✅ Support for cartilage and connective tissue
✅ Joint comfort with intense use
✅ Supporting structural recovery after demands

 

• Cardiovascular health & blood pressure

Magnesium contributes to blood vessel relaxation and maintaining blood pressure in normal limits, aspect supported by calcium-magnesium balance and proper status of vitamins and trace minerals.

✅ Vascular relaxation and circulatory comfort
✅ Supporting stable heart rhythm
✅ Mineral balance for cardiometabolic health

 

• Skin, hair & nails – structural and enzymatic support

Zinc is essential for cell division and keratinization, while copper influences collagen formation and tissue elasticity. Manganese, as part of antioxidant enzymes, contributes to protection against oxidative stress affecting cutaneous structures.

✅ Cutaneous appearance supported through cellular regeneration
✅ More resilient nails and hair
✅ Antioxidant protection at skin level

• Why this formula?

• Multiple forms for superior absorption & tolerance
Calcium from carbonate, citrate and malate combines high mineral content with good solubility in different digestive environments. Magnesium from oxide, citrate and malate ensures optimal ratio between element density and effective bioavailability, while improving gastrointestinal tolerance. This stratified "fast & sustained" approach offers both rapid availability and long-lasting depot refilling.

✅ Versatile absorption in variable digestive conditions
✅ Better gastric comfort for daily use
✅ Efficiency in rebalancing mineral status

 

• L-OptiZinc® – bioavailability reference standard

Zinc monomethionine (L-OptiZinc®) binds to natural amino acid, favoring intestinal passage and tissue retention. This form is recognized for tolerance and efficiency in supporting immunity, metabolism and skin health.

✅ Enhanced absorption
✅ Sustained effects with balanced doses
✅ Good compatibility with rest of formula

 

• Trace minerals – small pieces completing puzzle

Trace mineral concentrate (50 mg) provides micro-elements acting as metabolic "screws": participate in enzymes, nutrient transport and maintaining fine balances. Even in small amounts, these elements offer metabolic finesse plus hard to obtain exclusively from modern diet.

✅ Synergy with macro-minerals
✅ Enzymatic and antioxidant support
✅ Intelligently completing diet

• Who is it suitable for?

• People wanting to support bone density and strength
• Those with cramps, muscle tension or recurrent fatigue
• Sports practitioners, active people or with abundant perspiration
• Periods with unbalanced food intake or restrictive diets
• General support for immunity, skin and connective tissue

✅ Strong bones and structural resilience
✅ Relaxed muscles, balanced nerves, fewer cramps
✅ Supported immunity, efficient energy metabolism
✅ Skin, hair and nails supported through key cofactors
✅ Formulas and raw materials selected for bioavailability and tolerance
