Studies have indicated that many people may not consume an optimum amount of magnesium. This can be a concern because magnesium plays a vital role in more than 300 cellular processes. For example, magnesium is necessary for maintaining healthy functioning of the brain and nervous system. It might also support healthy muscle function and blood pressure levels already within the normal range.∆ Ensuring we are consuming an adequate amount of magnesium can be vital.
Magnesium supplements are often compounded with a salt, an acid, or an amino acid chelate to make the magnesium stable and suitable for consumption.
In the bottle, Natural Vitality CALM contains magnesium carbonate and citric acid. When combined with water, a chemical reaction takes place and the two bind together to become magnesium citrate.
Because it’s dissolved in water, Natural Vitality CALM has advantages over pills or capsules, as it is an alternative form of magnesium supplementation. It’s this dissolution that ionizes magnesium and may enhance absorption.

Getting the benefits of Natural Vitality CALM is as simple as adding it to a glass of water. Using a little hot water makes the carbonate-to-citrate reaction occur immediately. When the fizzing settles down – signaling that the magnesium is fully dissolved – just add cold water.
