Calcium and Magnesium Asporotates by Solaray is a highly advanced formula that consists of calcium and magnesium which have been combined with aspartic acid, citric acid, and a special delactosed whey protein concentrate containing naturally occurring orotic acid to increase absorbtion of calcium and magnesium into the body. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. It forms bones and teeth, and is needed for blood clotting, and transmitting signals in nerve cells, and muscle contraction. It is most commonly used in the prevention of osteoporosis. Magnesium is needed for bone, protein, and fatty acid formation, making new cells, activating B vitamins, relaxing muscles, clotting blood, and forming ATP-- the energy the body runs on. In primary research, magnesium helped improve vision in persons with glaucoma, which could be due to the fact that Magnesium lowers blood pressure. It has also reduced hyperactivity in children in primary research.
