Annique Forever Healthy OptiCalMag – Capsules

Strong bones, healthy muscles and a well-functioning body — built on the right foundation.

What It Does

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body — and one of the most critically important. Most people know that calcium and magnesium build strong teeth and bones. What many do not realise is that these two minerals play a far more wide-ranging and fundamental role in the body — supporting muscle function, blood vessel health, nervous system function, heart muscle activity, hormonal secretion, blood pressure regulation and blood sugar management.

Because calcium is so essential to survival, the body will do everything in its power to obtain it — including extracting it from teeth and bones when dietary and supplemental intake is insufficient. This process happens silently and progressively, leading to the weakening of bones and — particularly in women — the development of osteoporosis. Women are four times more susceptible to bone density loss than men, and the body’s ability to absorb calcium declines naturally with age — making supplementation not just beneficial but essential.

The quality and bioavailability of the calcium and magnesium used in supplements varies dramatically. Annique Forever Healthy OptiCalMag uses Calcium Citrate — a highly bioavailable form of calcium that the body absorbs significantly more effectively than cheaper alternatives like calcium carbonate — combined with Magnesium Citrate in the correct therapeutic ratio of three parts magnesium to four parts calcium. This precise ratio is critical because calcium and magnesium work synergistically — and an incorrect ratio undermines the effectiveness of both minerals.

Further enhanced with Vitamin D3 for calcium absorption, Vitamin E for antioxidant protection, Linseed Oil for essential fatty acid support and Green Rooibos extract for its exceptional antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties — OptiCalMag is a comprehensive, premium mineral supplement that goes far beyond simply building better bones.

Key Ingredients & Benefits

Calcium Citrate A highly bioavailable form of calcium that is absorbed significantly more effectively by the body than standard calcium carbonate — particularly important as the body’s ability to absorb calcium declines with age. Calcium provides the structural foundation for healthy teeth and bones, supports muscle contractions and blood regulation, aids hormone secretion, supports healthy nerve tissue development and helps prevent hypertension, obesity and certain cancers. When dietary calcium is insufficient, the body extracts it from bones — making consistent daily supplementation essential for long-term skeletal and overall health.

Magnesium Citrate Provided in the correct therapeutic ratio of three parts magnesium to four parts calcium — ensuring both minerals are absorbed and utilised optimally. Magnesium plays a significant role in more than 300 chemical reactions in the body. It maintains healthy muscle and nerve function, regulates heartbeat and blood sugar levels, maintains blood pressure, helps prevent and manage Type 2 diabetes and supports the immune system. Magnesium also relaxes muscles — complementing calcium’s role in muscle contraction — making their synergistic relationship essential for healthy cardiovascular and muscular function.

Vitamin D3 Essential for calcium absorption — without adequate Vitamin D3, the body cannot absorb calcium efficiently regardless of how much is consumed. Vitamin D3 is the most bioavailable form of Vitamin D and is a critical companion nutrient for any calcium supplement.

Vitamin E A powerful antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative damage, supports the immune system and provides anti-inflammatory benefits that complement the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal support provided by calcium and magnesium.

Linseed Oil Rich in Omega-3 essential fatty acids — providing additional cardiovascular, anti-inflammatory and hormonal support that complements the broader wellness benefits of calcium and magnesium supplementation.

Green Rooibos Extract Naturally caffeine-free and rich in powerful antioxidants including the unique bioflavonoid Aspalathin. Green Rooibos provides additional free radical protection, anti-inflammatory support and overall cellular wellness — completing a comprehensive and synergistic formulation.

Who It’s For

Women — particularly from age 30 onwards Women are four times more susceptible to bone density loss and osteoporosis than men. The body’s ability to absorb calcium declines with age — making daily supplementation increasingly critical for women from their 30s, and essential during and after menopause when bone density loss accelerates.

Men over 50 While men are less susceptible than women, bone density still declines with age — making consistent calcium and magnesium supplementation an important part of long-term health maintenance for older men.

Anyone with a calcium or magnesium deficient diet Modern diets — particularly those high in processed foods, sugar, carbonated drinks and coffee — are acid-forming and deplete calcium and magnesium levels. Daily supplementation is essential for those whose diet cannot reliably supply adequate levels.

Those with muscle cramps or cardiovascular concerns Magnesium relaxes muscles and regulates heartbeat — making OptiCalMag particularly valuable for those who experience frequent muscle cramps, irregular heartbeat or cardiovascular health concerns.

Those managing blood sugar or Type 2 diabetes Magnesium plays a significant role in blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity — making consistent supplementation an important daily support for those managing diabetes or metabolic health.

Active individuals and athletes Calcium and magnesium are both depleted through sweat and physical exertion — making daily supplementation essential for maintaining muscle function, preventing cramps and supporting recovery.

Lifestyle Factors That Deplete Bone Density

The following factors actively reduce bone density and increase the risk of osteoporosis — making adequate daily calcium and magnesium supplementation even more critical if any of these apply:

• Excessive coffee and carbonated drink consumption
• Smoking
• Excessive alcohol consumption
• Lack of regular exercise
• Acid-forming diets high in carbohydrates, sugar and meat
• Ageing
• Being female — women are four times more susceptible to bone density loss than men

How To Use

Women: Take 2 to 4 capsules per day or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner.

Men: Take 1 capsule per day or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner.

Take with food for optimal absorption. Vitamin D3 supports calcium absorption — ensure adequate sun exposure or Vitamin D supplementation alongside OptiCalMag for maximum effectiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the calcium to magnesium ratio important? Calcium and magnesium work synergistically — they need to be present in the correct ratio for both minerals to be absorbed and utilised effectively. OptiCalMag provides the correct therapeutic ratio of three parts magnesium to four parts calcium — ensuring maximum benefit from both minerals with every dose.

Why calcium citrate instead of calcium carbonate? Calcium citrate is significantly more bioavailable than calcium carbonate — meaning the body absorbs and uses it more effectively. This is particularly important as the body’s ability to absorb calcium declines with age. Quality and bioavailability matter far more than the quantity of calcium listed on the label.

Why do women need more calcium than men? Women are four times more susceptible to bone density loss and osteoporosis than men — particularly after menopause when oestrogen levels fall and bone density loss accelerates. Women also tend to have smaller, lighter bones and lower peak bone density than men — making consistent daily calcium and magnesium supplementation even more critical for long-term skeletal health.

What happens if I don’t get enough calcium? Because calcium is so essential to survival, the body will extract it from teeth and bones when dietary and supplemental intake is insufficient — silently weakening skeletal structure over time. This process can progress undetected for years before bone density loss becomes clinically significant or results in fractures.

Why is Vitamin D3 important for calcium absorption? Without adequate Vitamin D3, the body cannot absorb calcium efficiently regardless of how much is consumed. Vitamin D3 is essential for activating the intestinal receptors that allow calcium to be absorbed from the digestive tract into the bloodstream. Ensuring adequate Vitamin D3 — through supplementation and sensible sun exposure — is critical for maximising the effectiveness of calcium supplementation.

Can children take OptiCalMag? No. OptiCalMag is not recommended for children.

Does coffee and fizzy drinks really affect calcium levels? Yes. Both caffeine and the phosphoric acid found in carbonated drinks interfere with calcium absorption and increase urinary calcium excretion — actively depleting the body’s calcium stores over time. Reducing consumption of these beverages significantly supports better calcium retention and bone health.
