CAL-MAG-POT-SIL-BOR-is a combination of ‘nano-sized’, water-soluble minerals intended for those who need to increase bone density.  In addition to calcium/magnesium (CAL-MAG) which helps maintain healthy bone structure, this product contains additional minerals that are known to enhance calcium absorption, increase bone density and reduce inflammation.  The minerals in this product are also 100% absorbable.

Boron (BOR) is a trace mineral that is necessary for the formation of healthy bones.  A USDA study indicates that boron helps reduce the loss of calcium, magnesium, and phosporous; all of which are critical in bone formation.  Boron has also been known to alleviate joint discomfort by reducing the level of Cox-2 enzymes.  This has been demonstrated in a recent study that shows a correlation between boron and relief from arthritis pain.

Potassium (POT) is a ‘bulk’ mineral included because of its ubiquitous nature in the necessary functions of the human body.  It is needed for muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, heart function, protein metabolism, and activation of multiple enzymatic functions of the body.  Potassium also enhances the absorption and utilization of silicon.

Silicon (SIL) is the second most abundant mineral on earth.  Silicon lends strength to all connective tissue, increases collagen in bones, strengthens blood vessels, and increases body and skin elasticity, and promotes healthy nail and hair growth.  Silicon also stimulates the immune system, inhibits the aging process and is important in the prevention of Alzheimers disease. Silicon levels naturally decrease with age, so it is necessary to  increase our intake of silicon to maintain bone strength and joint elasticity.  Silicon is known as the ‘youth’ mineral !!!
