Scientific research and evidence
Helps promote healthy bone density.
1. 29 human clinical trials have demonstrated that supplementation with calcium alone, or in combination with vitamin D, helps maintain healthy bone and healthy bone density. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17720017/
2. Studies indicate that a higher magnesium intake helps support bone mineral density. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34666201/
3. Greater dietary vitamin C intake has been shown in research to be associated with higher bone mineral density at femoral neck and lumbar spine. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29644950/
4. Cellular research indicates that vitamin C helps maintain the balance between bone-building (osteoblasts) and bone-resorbing (osteoclasts) cells, which is important for healthy bone density. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34510185/
5. In population research, higher dietary silicon intake supported bone mineral density in men and younger women. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14969400/
6. Silicon was found to promote bone mineral density in post-menopausal women on hormone replacement therapy. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17435952/
7. Supplementation with boron may help promote bone density. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3678698/
8. Supplementation with vitamin K2 has been shown to help maintain healthy bone density in postmenopausal women. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32060566/
Supports bone health.
1. Vitamin D supports bone health in menopausal women. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12540414/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22762317/,
2. Calcium plays a key role in bone health; the International Osteoporosis Foundation recommends 1000-1300 mg/day for men and women. https://www.osteoporosis.foundation/health-professionals/prevention/nutrition/calcium.
3. Adequate calcium and vitamin D throughout life, as part of a well-balanced diet, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-21/section-101.72
4. Adequate calcium as part of a healthful diet, along with physical activity, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis in later life. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-21/section-101.72.
5. In some populations, supplementation with iron was shown to help promote healthy biomarkers associated with healthy bones. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33675347/
6. Magnesium has been shown to support healthy bones in different populations. http://books.nap.edu/books/0309063507/html/index.html, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3775240/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34666201/.
7. Vitamin K2 helps to keep calcium in the bone.

Promotes calcium absorption.
1. Research suggests that supplementation with vitamin D may help maintain healthy levels in the body and is effective for promoting calcium absorption. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12672710/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10232622/.
2. Both animal and human studies suggest that Aquamin calcium has better absorption than calcium carbonate. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28647775/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29023178/.
Supports healthy joints.
1. Aquamin supplementation was shown to promote healthy joint function, joint flexibility, and walking distance. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19187557/.
Supports energy production.
1. Magnesium is needed energy production as part of the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. Rude RK, Shils ME. Magnesium. In: Shils ME, Shike M, Ross AC, Caballero B, Cousins RJ, eds. Modern Nutrition in Health and Disease. 10th ed. Baltimore: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins; 2006:223-247.
Supports nerve and muscle function.
1. Through its role in mineral transport systems, magnesium affects the conduction of nerve impulses, muscle contraction, and normal heart rhythm. Rude RK, Shils ME. Magnesium. In: Shils ME, Shike M, Ross AC, Caballero B, Cousins RJ, eds. Modern Nutrition in Health and Disease. 10th ed. Baltimore: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins; 2006:223-247, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26404370/.
Important during exercise.
1. Magnesium loss occurs in sweat after strenuous physical exertion.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK236242/.
2. Magnesium loss occurs after exercise in hot weather.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1131135/.
3. Magnesium supplementation may improve physical performance.

Supports healthy sleep.
1. Magnesium has been shown to promote sleep quality in different populations.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35184264/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34883514/.
Supports gastrointestinal health.
1. Studies have shown that vitamin D helps promote healthy gastrointestinal function.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30431562/
2. Studies have shown that vitamin D helps promote digestive comfort. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35509010/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35396764/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35912148/.
