Quality calcium and magnesium for your bones
Calcium + Albion® Minerals magnesium (2,5:1) from EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement based on calcium and magnesium.
A supplement developed for those seeking a high-quality mineral support of calcium and magnesium, high elemental content and good tolerability. We use the complete chelation mineral salts Albion® Minerals (the standard of modern chelation) and merge them with high-concentration mineral sources. HSN as the manufacturer of the final product and Balchem as the supplier of the raw materials are an indisputable guarantee of unmatched quality.
A simple, yet highly relevant support to contribute the necessary calcium intake to maintain the structural health of bones.
What makes our formula special
Chelation that makes the difference: the importance of the raw material
The Albion® Minerals chelation favors its bioavailability and improves the digestive experience. It’s a technology designed for continuous use without hassle, characterized by being a 'complete chelation'.
Mineral balance 2,5:1: the key role of the HSN formulation
We set a ratio of 2,5 parts calcium to 1 part magnesium because it answers a real need: to provide enough structural calcium without neglecting magnesium’s regulatory role in muscles, nervous system, and its invaluable support on bone health.
What you get per dose
With 3 vegetable capsules you get a relevant contribution to complement any diet:
- 500mg elemental calcium.
- 200mg elemental magnesium.
Both from high-quality mineral salts patented under the Albion® Minerals brand.
Properties of both minerals
The combination of calcium and magnesium has a clear main function, which is: to contribute to the maintenance of bones and teeth under normal conditions.
However, each mineral has additional properties that may be interesting to complement your diet. Below we list the most relevant ones.
Calcium:
- Contributes to the normal blood coagulation and to normal energy metabolism.
- Contributes to the normal functioning of muscles and to neurotransmission.
- Contributes to the normal functioning of digestive enzymes.
- Contributes to the process of cell division and differentiation.
Magnesium:
- Helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue and contributes to electrolyte balance.
- Contributes to normal energy metabolism and to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
- Contributes to the normal functioning of muscles and to normal protein synthesis.
- Contributes to normal psychological function.
- Contributes to the cell division process.
Who would we recommend it for?
For anyone looking to supplement their diet with a calcium and magnesium formula of exceptionally high quality, that works as a base mineral support, aimed at supporting the maintenance of the bones, with good elemental contribution and the best digestive tolerance. It’s ideal to accompany athletes’ routines, active lifestyles or vegans where dietary intake, especially calcium, may be insufficient; and for older adults.
Combinations you can take advantage of
To further optimize your supplement routine you can consider adding hydrolyzed collagen, or silicon. Both ingredients are highly compatible with using this dietary supplement
Other interesting allies are vitamins like the Vitamin K or Vitamin D, which also have properties linked to bone health.
Frequently asked questions
Why choose Albion® Minerals as raw material?
Because the next-generation complete chelation is a differentiating factor in minerals.
Does the 2,5:1 proportion make practical sense?
Yes. We aim for a relevant calcium contribution as the basic structural element of the formula, principally linked to maintaining bones under normal conditions, along with a sufficient magnesium contribution to support this effect, in addition to optimizing functions like electrolyte balance and muscle function.
Can it be used all year?
Of course. It’s a product designed for daily, continuous use.
Is it compatible with other products?
Yes. We previously recommended combining it with ingredients like collagen or vitamins; but it is fully compatible with all common dietary supplements such as pre-workouts, creatine, amino acids, etc.
