The better answer for strong, healthy bones! Calcium may get most of the attention, but nutritionists will tell you that it takes more than calcium to maintain strong bones; it takes a healthy ratio of calcium to magnesium. Swanson Calcium Citrate Plus Magnesium is a special mineral formula featuring the ideal 2-to-1 ratio of calcium to magnesium with 150 mg of calcium and 75 mg of magnesium per capsule. Calcium bound to citric acid requires less stomach acid so it is gentler on the stomach.

FAQ
- Why are calcium and magnesium often taken together?
Calcium and magnesium work together to support many essential functions throughout the body. Calcium plays a central role in bone mineralization, muscle contraction, and nerve signaling, while magnesium helps regulate calcium transport into and out of cells and serves as a cofactor for more than 300 enzymatic reactions. Together, they provide complementary support for bone, muscle, and nervous system health. - What do calcium and magnesium do in the body?
Calcium and magnesium are essential minerals that support normal cellular function. Calcium helps build and maintain healthy bones and teeth while supporting muscle contraction, nerve transmission, and normal blood clotting. Magnesium supports energy production, protein synthesis, muscle relaxation, nerve function, and the body's normal utilization of calcium. Together, they help maintain healthy musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and metabolic function. - How do calcium and magnesium support bone health?
Approximately 99% of the body's calcium is stored in the bones and teeth, where it provides strength and structure. Magnesium contributes to bone mineralization by supporting the formation of bone tissue and helping regulate calcium balance. It also supports the activation of vitamin D, which plays an important role in calcium absorption. Together, calcium and magnesium help build and maintain strong, healthy bones. - How do calcium and magnesium support heart health?
Calcium and magnesium help support the normal function of the cardiovascular system by working together to regulate muscle contraction and nerve signaling—including the heart muscle. Calcium supports normal heart muscle contraction, while magnesium helps regulate calcium movement within cells and supports normal muscle relaxation. - Is Swanson Calcium Citrate Plus Magnesium suitable for special diets?
Swanson Calcium Citrate Plus Magnesium is suitable for vegan and vegetarian lifestyles, is made with non-GMO ingredients, and is formulated without gluten or dairy. Its clean, mineral-based formula makes it a great choice for a variety of dietary preferences.
