B-Cal-DM Swallow 30 Tablets

B-Cal-DM takes its name from its formula: B-Cal calcium with added vitamin D and magnesium. Vitamin D drives calcium absorption, and magnesium is needed to convert vitamin D to its active form and to build the bone matrix. It is widely prescribed for osteoporosis prevention and during treatment with bone medicines. Calcium is the main structural mineral in bone and teeth. The body also needs a steady supply for muscle contraction, nerve transmission and blood clotting, and it draws on bone whenever dietary intake falls short. Vitamin D3 is the form the skin makes from sunlight. It controls how much calcium the gut absorbs, supports normal muscle function and helps regulate the immune response. Every muscle contraction uses calcium to tighten and magnesium to release. Magnesium also helps regulate the nervous system's stress response and supports normal heart rhythm and energy production.

Your doctor has probably told you calcium needs vitamin D. It also needs magnesium. Bone mass peaks around age 30 and declines after that, faster in women after menopause. If you eat little dairy, are over 50, or take long-term cortisone, your intake is unlikely to cover what your bones lose.
