Calcium is one of the key micronutrients that is needed to support important functions in the human body that goes beyond just healthy bones and teeth. While food is the best source, a high-quality dietary supplement can help fill the nutrient gap in our modern diet. Therefore, the Nutrilite Cal Mag D Plus is a valuable addition to our existing portfolio of Nutrilite products as it offers a unique combination of 5 essential nutrients to support bone building and maintenance processes.
