NOW Foods Calcium & Magnesium Powder with D3 8 oz

NOW® Calcium & Magnesium Powder provides these two essential minerals in the readily absorbed citrate form, in a balanced 1:1 ratio, along with vitamin D3. Calcium and magnesium work as partners in the body: calcium is the primary structural mineral of bones and drives muscle contraction, while magnesium supports bone structure, aids muscle relaxation and is required for hundreds of enzyme reactions — including those that help the body use calcium properly. Vitamin D3 rounds out the formula by supporting calcium absorption. The enhanced-mixability powder makes it easy to take an adjustable dose in a beverage.*
