Best vegan supplement for healthy bones with ionic magnesium citrate, vitamin D3 (vegan) from lichen, vitamin K2, zinc, potassium, boron, vitamins C, B6 and B12.
Plantforce® Mag Osteo is formulated not just to increase your magnesium level, but it also helps absorb the calcium obtained in your diet and help maintain healthy bones. Research shows that dietary supplements with calcium do not have the perceived positive effect on bone health (5,6), instead it is actually harmful for your body. (1,2,3,4) Our tailored combination of vitamins and minerals in this formula helps prevents calcifications and are needed absorb the natural calcium from your diet.
When the powder is mixed in water, ionic magnesium citrate is created through a reaction between magnesium carbonate and citric acid. Ionic magnesium citrate powder (1:1) will lower risks of magnesium deficiency. Our ionic form of magnesium allows it to readily enter the cells making the magnesium intake fast acting and highly absorbable, therefore preventing low magnesium levels in the body. Mag Osteo is the perfect magnesium supplement as it not only provides the benefit of magnesium, but we also combine other essential minerals and vitamins. Therefore, health benefits are as follows;
- A healthy nervous system and muscle function.
- Help to reduce fatigue and exhaustion.
