Quality calcium and magnesium for your bones
Calcium + Albion® Minerals Magnesium (2,5:1) from EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement based on calcium and magnesium.
A supplement developed for those seeking a high-quality mineral support of calcium and magnesium, high elemental content and good tolerability. We use complete chelation mineral salts Albion® Minerals (the standard of modern chelation) and integrate them with high-concentration mineral sources. HSN as the manufacturer of the final product and Balchem as the supplier of the raw materials are an undeniable guarantee of unrivaled quality.
A simple, but very relevant support to contribute the required calcium for maintaining bone structure health.
What makes our formula special
Chelation that makes a difference: The importance of the raw material
The Albion® Minerals chelation helps its biodisponibility and improves the digestive experience. It’s a technology designed for continuous use without hassle, characterized by being a 'complete chelation'.
Mineral balance 2,5:1: The key role of the HSN formulation
We set a ratio of 2,5 parts calcium to 1 part magnesium because it meets a real need: to provide enough structural calcium without neglecting magnesium’s regulatory role in muscles, nervous system, and its priceless support on bone health.
What you get from this product’s dose
With 3 vegetarian capsules you get a meaningful contribution to complement any diet:
- 500mg elemental calcium.
- 200mg elemental magnesium.
Both derived from Albion® Minerals high-quality patented mineral salts.
Properties of both minerals
The combination of calcium and magnesium has a clear main function, which is: to support the maintenance of bones and teeth under normal conditions.
However, each mineral has additional properties that may be interesting to complement your diet. Here are the most relevant ones.
Calcium:
- Contributes to normal blood coagulation and to normal energy metabolism.
- Contributes to the normal functioning of muscles and to normal neurotransmission.
- Contributes to the normal functioning of digestive enzymes.
- Contributes to the process of cell division and differentiation.
Magnesium:
- Helps to reduce fatigue and tiredness and contributes to electrolyte balance.
- Contributes to normal energy metabolism and to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
- Contributes to the normal functioning of the muscles and to normal protein synthesis.
- Contributes to normal psychological function.
- Contributes to the cell division process.
Who do we recommend it for?
For anyone looking to supplement their diet with a calcium and magnesium formula of very high quality, that works as a base mineral support, aimed at supporting the maintenance of the bones, with good elemental intake and the best digestive tolerance. It’s ideal to accompany athletes’ routines, active lifestyles or vegan people where dietary intake, especially of calcium, might be insufficient; and for older people.
Combinations you can take advantage of
To further optimize your supplementation routine you can consider including hydrolyzed collagen, or silicon. Both ingredients are very compatible with using this dietary supplement
Other interesting allies are vitamins such as the Vitamin K or Vitamin D, which also have properties linked to bone health.
Frequently asked questions
Why opt for Albion® Minerals as the raw material?
Because the next-generation complete chelation is a differentiating factor in minerals.
Does the 2,5:1 ratio make practical sense?
Yes. We’re after a relevant calcium supply as the basic structural element of the formula, fundamentally linked to maintaining bones under normal conditions, together with a sufficient magnesium supply to support this effect, in addition to optimizing functions like electrolyte balance and muscle function.
Can it be used all year?
Of course. It’s a product designed for daily, continuous use.
Is it compatible with other products?
Yes. We’ve previously recommended the combination with ingredients like collagen or vitamins; but it’s fully compatible with all kinds of usual dietary supplements such as pre-workouts, creatine, amino acids, etc.
