 The
purposes of calcium
as used by the human
body for
 function of various systems
 regulation of body processes
 prevention of disease
 The
vital importance of
calcium as a mineral

its own regulating gland
 It is the basic component of
nearly every basic function
 Factors
that activate
calcium for optimum use
 Magnesium, calcium’s
mineral counterpart
 The parathyroid gland
 The proper form of calcium
 The exact ratio of calcium to
other minerals
 How
Instant CalMag-C Is
formulated parallel to
these basic processes

3. The Parathyroid Gland: Calcium’s Regulator
Though you may have heard
that calcium is of the utmost
importance, it may have
escaped your attention that
your body has a gland just to
regulate calcium in the blood
and control vital bodily
functions.
Called the “parathyroid”
(meaning “beside the thyroid”),
this gland governs the use of
what calcium supply your body
has, to ensure function of
nervous, muscular and skeletal
systems to name but a few.

4. 3 Main Functions of Calcium
The 3 Main Body Systems Calcium Serves

5. The Nervous System
The Nervous system could be
called the electrical
communication system of the
body. Thousand of electrical
impulses are required to send
messages between organs to
make them function.
Calcium provides the means for
electrical impulses to travel
along nerves. This is conduction
of electricity in fact and behaves
just as electricity does outside
the body.

6. The Muscular System
The muscular system of the body
supports structure and enables
motion by alternately
contracting and relaxing certain
muscle groups in set patterns.
Calcium use is two-fold in this
system. Primarily, muscles require
proper nerve conduction to
operate. The nerves must carry
messages from the brain to the
muscles to tell them what to do.
No less important is use in the
contraction/relaxation process.

7. The Skeletal System
Perhaps the body’s most
important system for obvious
reasons, the Skeletal System
supports the structure of the
entire body. Made of bones,
these basic structural units
require calcium for strength.
While it is widely known that
calcium “helps build strong
bones and teeth”, bones
additionally serve as a sort of
“vault” to store surplus. Excess
calcium can be stored in the
bones much like a bank vault,
and can be withdrawn later for
use in times of need.

8. Additional Functions Dependent Upon Calcium
 Blood
Vessel
Expansion/Contraction
 Fighting
 Glandular
 Assisting
Secretion of
Hormones/Enzymes
 Biochemical
 Tolerance
Reactions
of Stress
and Prevention of
Various Diseases
Other Minerals In
Their Various Functions
 Sleep
 Mood

9. Calcium Alone Is Not Enough
To Be Active in Body Processes, Calcium Has Several Other
Requirements to Work in Tandem to Activate It

10. Necessary Reaction: Calcium and Magnesium
 Major
body functions require calcium and magnesium in tandem
 Calcium
produces contraction of muscles and nerve channels
 Magnesium
 Nerve
produces relaxation of muscles and nerves
impulses depend upon the contraction-relaxation process
 Calcium
and magnesium must be in precise 2:1 ratio
 Combination
requires an acid to activate their reaction

11. Magnesium’s Many Roles
 Magnesium
is also required for hundreds of biochemical reactions
within the body. Such reactions account for things such as:
 Heart Rhythm
 Immune System Optimization
 Regulation of Blood Sugar
 Government of Blood Pressure

12. The Decline of Calcium’s Reputation
Unfortunately calcium, to say
nothing of magnesium, has been
relegated from an essential mineral
to “something you become
deficient in with age” or a
“supplement” that prevents
osteoporosis or kidney stones.
Evidenced by the existence of the
parathyroid, calcium supersedes
such repute.
Calcium is one of the basic building
blocks of the body and, though it
may need supplement when
deficient, calling it a supplement is
like calling fresh air a luxury.

13. Chemistry: The Correct Form of Calcium Is Vital!
There is one more technicality,
however, for calcium to be of use: it
must be the correct form of calcium.
Calcium gluconate, the actual form
needed, can often be confused with
other forms of calcium. Most often,
calcium carbonate is used in
supplemental minerals, a form which is
not useable by the body. Therefore
persons taking calcium carbonate
who believe they are “taking enough
calcium” can actually end up in
deficiency, or worse, with calcium
deposits in joints, kidneys, etc.
In point of fact, using one or the other
form of calcium can account for, in a
child for instance, the difference
between susceptibility and resistance
to fever-producing diseases, colds
and even polio. No amount of
calcium carbonate will stave off any
of these maladies. Calcium
gluconate, however, may be of
service.

14. Price to Pay For the Wrong Form of Calcium
 Symptoms
of calcium deficiency abound. Choosing the wrong
form (calcium carbonate over calcium gluconate) will still
produce deficiency and symptoms include:
 Numbness and tingling in the fingers
 Depression, stress, insomnia
 Tension, hyperactivity, inability to “switch off”
 Muscle cramps, convulsions
 Lethargy, poor appetite
 Abnormal heart rhythm

15. Magnesium Deficiency
 As
magnesium is needed to balance calcium, its deficiency
likewise can cause symptoms such as:
 Loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting
 Fatigue, weakness, numbness or tingling
 Muscle contractions and cramps
 Many others

16. Formula for Health
Knowing About the Importance of Calcium and Its Role In
Body Function Opens the Door to Health

17. Calcium In Balance and Overall Health
Obviously, it is more than just a
gland or single mineral that builds
health and prevents disease or
deficiency.
A properly working parathyroid,
coupled with a proper supply of
calcium gluconate, in a precise, 2:1
ratio to its “partner mineral”
magnesium, all balanced by an
acid, is the formula for proper
function.
All elements present can make for
the optimum body and condition.
