*I’ve got some fantastic news… We’ve just released our brand new Calcium supplement! We’re VERY excited about this as we know how essential calcium is in the body and how important it is to consume every day. Our Calcium is made with calcium carbonate, one of the most popular and effective forms of calcium on the market. Plus, we add in 25mcg (1000IU) of Vitamin D3 to improve your body’s absorption of calcium and synergistically increase its benefits. Calcium, as you know, is great for building strong bones and teeth, but what you may not know is that it’s also incredibly important for muscle function, nerve transmission, hormone balancing, and regulating your sleep, to name just a few of its many functions. It’s truly one of the most important nutrients for the body and it’s critical to get enough of it everyday! Oh, and by the way, this Calcium works great with our Magnesium Citrate and can provide a 1-2 punch to ensuring you’re at your very best when it comes to bone health, muscle function, nerve function, sleep regulation, and the myriad of other crucial processes they both regulate in the body!
