The body’s ability to absorb calcium also declines as we age. This means our bones begin to weaken, which could lead to osteoporosis. This is why supplementation becomes even more critical – especially for women. It is also critical to understand acidity, when taking calcium supplements.

Most foods are acid-forming and the body needs an alkaline environment to perform optimally. If the body is too acidic, you will not be able to optimally absorb the nutrients from food and supplementation.

There are different forms of calcium and magnesium used in supplements, of which the quality and body’s ability to absorb these vary dramatically. It is important to look for a quality calcium supplement that is more bioavailable, rather than for quantity of calcium contained.

Annique Forever Healthy OptiCalMag provides the correct ratio of three parts magnesium to four parts calcium. It also contains calcium citrate for better absorption. Forever Healthy OptiCalMag is further enhanced with vitamin E and vitamin D3, linseed oil and Green Rooibos extract.

Calcium and magnesium are vital minerals that work synergistically with one another to promote better absorption. Magnesium plays a significant role in more than 300 chemical reactions to keep your body functioning properly.

Calcium and magnesium are also important for the health of your heart and arteries. Magnesium relaxes your muscles and calcium contracts muscles.

Probiotics in OptiFlora is the nucleus of your supplementation program, followed closely by three critical supplements that form the baseline nutrition of Forever Healthy to support, improve and maintain optimum health: a multivitamin (OptiVite), omega 3 essential oils (OptiMega) and necessary minerals calcium and magnesium (OptiCalMag).
