Cal-6+Mg. is a special Chelate complex of 6 sources of calcium with magnesium and other ingredients to assist the body in maintaining healthy bones. Calcium is a primary mineral for building strong bones and teeth. From calcium citrate, carbonate, gluconate, lactate, Ascorbate and Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite

Calcium is a mineral vital for bones, nerves, tissues, cells and energy production. Also helps prevent bone loss. Calcium inhibits the development of precancerous polyps in the colon and rectum and reduced incidence of colon cancer. Calcium is an effective treatment for PMS.

Magnesium is a mineral that helps support cardiovascular, neuromuscular system, blood pressure and energy production

During pregnancy and lactation consult with physician before using.

Numerous studies indicate that calcium supplements are useful in preventing and slowing osteoporosis, the progressive loss of bone mass as we age. Calcium supplementation at the recommended dosages appears to reduce bone loss in postmenopausal women in every part of the body except the spine.^1,2,3 When vitamin D is taken along with calcium, it may be possible not only to slow down but actually reverse osteoporosis, in the spine as well as in other bones.⁴

According to a large and well-designed study published in a 1998 issue of American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, calcium supplements are a simple and effective treatment for a wide variety of PMS symptoms.⁵ In a double-blind placebo-controlled study of 497 women, 1,200 mg daily of calcium as calcium carbonate reduced PMS symptoms by half over a period of three menstrual cycles.

Recent evidence suggests that the use of calcium can inhibit the development of precancerous polyps in the colon and rectum. A double-blind placebo-controlled study followed 832 individuals with a history of polyps for 4 years.⁶ Participants received either 3 g daily of calcium or placebo. The calcium group experienced 24% fewer polyps overall than the placebo group.

There is also evidence from observational studies that a high calcium intake is associated with a reduced incidence of colon cancer ⁷
