What are calcium and magnesium?

FIJI Natural Artesian Water - Frequently Asked Questions
FIJI Water is an artesian water which makes it distinct from other waters. FIJI Water's mineral composition and taste are the result of its source: an artesian aquifer on the islands of Fiji. The volcanic rock on the island acts as a natural filter for the water. FIJI Water filters through layers of this mineral-rich volcanic rock over hundreds of years gathering minerals like calcium & magnesium. The unique blend of these minerals is what leads to the distinct soft, smooth taste of FIJI Water.

Why doesn't EZorb Calcium contain Vitamin D or magnesium?

Ezorb Calcium for Bone spurs, osteophytes, back pain, spinal...
Traditional calcium supplements are hardly absorbed in the pH medium of the small intestine. With the help of Vitamin D, their absorption rate is slightly higher. Taking traditional calcium supplements also suppress your body's ability to absorb magnesium. In the pH environment of the small intestine, inorganic minerals tend to attach themselves to one another and form magma precipitation. Once precipitated, the minerals become nonabsorbable.

Do I need to take magnesium to absorb calcium?

Nutrition FAQ's
No. Magnesium is required for many functions in the body, some of which also require calcium, so the belief has grown that the two must always be taken together. This is simply not supported by science. Studies done on a "bone support" product such as MCHC by itself (without additional magnesium) have shown dramatic benefits. While you may require both calcium and magnesium, there is no credible scientific evidence that everyone needs to take both of them together in a special ratio.

Calcium supplementation without magnesium may interfere with the absorption of magnesium from the diet. This can result in less movement of magnesium into the bone and lead to greater bone demineralization (breakdown). Because a high calcium intake can intensify a magnesium deficiency and vice versa, both of these minerals should be supplemented.

F.A.Q Page
During the winter months, we talk to several growers who are having difficulty getting enough calcium and magnesium into their plants. They are supplying plenty of these elements in their fertilizer solutions, but the plants are not able to take them up. We feel the main problem is high humidity within the greenhouse. The ideal relative humidity (RH) for tomatoes is 60% - 70%. RH levels above 85% create an ideal environment to raise fungus rather than tomatoes.
