Frequently Asked Questions
What is calcified seaweed and why was it chosen as a calcium source for Cal Mag D?
Calcified
seaweed is a nutrient-rich, natural multimineral ingredient that comes
from a sustainable source – all of which aligns with our Nutrilite®
philosophy of plant-based supplementation.
We all need lots of calcium, but do some groups need more than others?
Children,
teens, and young adults need the highest amounts for their growing and
maturing bodies. Building good bone mass while young can have great
benefits in later life. Pregnant women and nursing mothers need more to
serve the needs of their babies as well as their own needs. Older adults
need more calcium.
What is osteoporosis?
It’s
a condition of weak, brittle, porous bones. Osteoporosis typically
afflicts older people, women somewhat more than men. According to the
Osteoporosis Society of Canada. approximately 1 in 4 women and 1 in 8
men have osteoporosis.
Why does Nutrilite® combine calcium with magnesium in Cal Mag D?
Both
are involved in bone metabolism, and muscle and nerve activity.
Research indicates that supplementing with calcium alone can hinder the
action of magnesium and vice versa. Nutrilite® Cal Mag D provides a
balanced combination of both minerals. Magnesium plays an important role
in regulating calcium levels in the body and is needed to keep strong
bones.
Why is there more calcium in the previous Cal Mag D supplement when compared with the new Cal Mag D formula?
To
make room for more vitamin D, a vitamin that is harder to get through
diet alone, we took out some calcium, which is easier to ingest through
food sources like milk, cheese, and yogurt. Reducing the calcium content
allowed not only for more vitamin D, but for a 30% smaller tablet.
