Dairy products are the most well-known calcium abundant food item, however, green leafy vegetables, almonds and fish where the bones are eaten are also high in Calcium. Calcium contributes to normal muscle function, neurotransmission, the normal function of digestive enzymes and the cell division and specialisation. Additionally, the mineral is essential for the maintenance of normal teeth, normal blood clotting and energy metabolism.



Magnesium

This mineral was named after Magnesia, a district in the Thessaly region of Greece. Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance, energy-yielding metabolism, normal muscle function and the normal functioning of the nervous system. Additionally, the mineral contributes to normal protein synthesis, the maintenance of normal bones, teeth and the process of cell division, and contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
