The Calcium + Magnesium Profile is an assessment of urinary levels of calcium and magnesium. Since magnesium works closely with calcium, it is important to have an appropriate ratio of both of these critical minerals for them to be effective. Calcium plays a critical role in the body as it is tightly regulated and necessary for nerve function. Additionally, it is a structural element in bones and teeth, with 99% of the body’s calcium being stored in the bones. A drop of about 30% in plasma calcium levels can result in tetany, a potentially fatal condition that causes overstimulation of the nerves in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, leading to skeletal muscle contractions.
