Bone Health

Calcium, Magnesium, and Vitamin D3, everyone knows these as critical ingredients for healthy bones.  There are more side benefits to these three essential minerals and pro-hormone.  Inside each muscle cell is a compartment of calcium which the the cell uses in the process of creating the electric current that that contracts the sarcomeres and thus the muscle fibers.  Calcium also serves as the body's pH buffer to prevent an over acidic environment.  High carb and grain in the diet lead to acidic conditions.  This causes the body to pull calcium from the bones in order to raise the pH to acceptable levels.  pH is critical because many enzymes only function in narrow ranges of pH.  Magnesium helps the body to slow down, that's how milk of magnesia works, it slows down the peristaltic muscle action helping loosen you up. D3 is a pro-hormone that regulates all sorts of important body functions.  90% of the US population is very low in D3, side effect include weakness, fatigue, and even chronic fatigue syndrome and depression.  Get your sun, the further north you live the more you need, especially in the fall and winter.
