What are the benefits of taking calcium and magnesium?
Calcium and Magnesium are two of the most important minerals found in the body. Both of these minerals are critical for maintaining healthy bones, and the combination of them both is the best way to ensure that your bones are in tip-top shape.
However, possibly our favorite functions of magnesium and calcium are that they promote relaxation and restful sleep while helping you to maintain supple, glowing skin. Read on to find out more about the benefits of taking magnesium and calcium together, how to add it to your diet, and more.
Benefits of taking Calcium and Magnesium together
As we know, calcium and magnesium are good for our bones. Calcium is the most abundant mineral found in the body and most of it is found in our bones. Having enough calcium in your diet can help reduce bone loss by 30 – 50%. At the same time, magnesium contributes to increased bone density.
Magnesium binds to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors, the neurotransmitter responsible for suppressing nerve activity and thus allowing you and your body to ‘switch off’.
At the same time, calcium plays a further role in the maintenance of healthy skin functions including sebum regulation, lipid barrier function, cellular turnover and antioxidant production. Therefore, it is vital to keep a constant level of calcium and magnesium within the body to maintain supple, glowing and beautiful skin.
What happens if I have a calcium and magnesium deficiency?
Since we now know the advantages of having enough magnesium and calcium in your body and your bones, we can consider what would happen if we didn’t have enough. While these deficiencies are not common, the adverse effects of not taking enough of these minerals clearly indicate the benefits of the alternative.
Magnesium deficiency can cause sleepiness, muscle spasms, fatigue and weakness, and shaking, amongst others. Long-term calcium deficiency can cause dental changes, alterations in the brain, and osteoporosis, which causes the bones to become brittle.
How much Calcium and Magnesium should you take a day?
For optimal health, you should take 1,000 mg of calcium per day and 400 – 500 mg of magnesium.
