There are two main substances in the basis of life balance: calcium and magnesium. The lack of these components in the human body causes many negative changes, including the destruction of bones and joints, a decrease in the level of physical and mental activity, as well as a violation of the proper functioning of the nervous system. In addition, the lack of calcium and magnesium in the human body opens the way to the development of an impressive list of diseases.
Medication description

Middle-aged and older problems such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, allergies, kidney stones and bladder inflammation can be corrected with calcium and magnesium in the formulation.
Diabetes, alcohol abuse and heavy metal intoxication can also be successfully used with the described remedy. For women, this remedy will help with heavy and painful periods or premenstrual syndrome.
Benefits when using the drug
Complex of vitamins B6, C, D3, K1 interacts with magnesium, zinc and manganese, which allows calcium not only to be absorbed from the intestines, but also to go directly to the teeth and bones, strengthening them. By itself, vitamin D can only absorb calcium, which is then simply deposited, for example, on the walls of blood vessels. Thanks to this action of the drug, back pain can disappear after a few days of use.
Calcium and magnesium comprehensively saturate the body andI improve the work of all functionally active organs: the brain, immune system, muscles, kidneys and liver. The right balance of calcium and magnesium helps protect the brain from nervous strain and mental breakdown. The brain also normalizes metabolism and the mechanisms of excitation and inhibition.
Residents of large cities appreciate the drug for its ability to remove heavy metals from the body. Lead accumulated over a long period of coexistence with car exhaust gases is gradually eliminated from the metabolism and the body as a whole, new doses of lead are contained, and liver function improves over time.
Calcium deficiency in the diet contributes to kidney stones. Magnesium and vitamin B6 present in the preparation together help to excrete calcium oxalate, which is the main component of kidney stones, with increased efficiency in the urine. At the same time, the citrates in this medicine prevent the formation of new kidney stones.
Calcium and magnesium citrates in the preparation perform another important function - they change the acidity of urine to the alkaline side, thereby creating detrimental conditions for harmful microbes. Symptoms of acute cystitis may disappear within two days from the start of taking the remedy.
Irrational nutrition is inherent in many: an abundance of protein and fatty foods against the backdrop of a complete lack of fruits and vegetables. Substances in the preparation alkalize the internal microflora of the body and prevent the development of cancer, premature aging and the development of certain diseases,caused by calcium leaching.
The popularly known hangover is mostly a symptom of magnesium deficiency in the body. The excretion of ethyl alcohol requires large reserves of magnesium, and with abundant libations, these reserves run out very quickly.
Interestingly, in athletes and fitness enthusiasts, a lack of magnesium in the body can be as significant as in alcoholics. The drug from "Ortho" with calcium and magnesium will replenish the reserves of the missing substance due to strict diets and along the way strengthen the bones with the help of vitamin C in the composition.
Features of the drug
In comparison with some similar preparations, the bioavailability (absorption) of calcium in this preparation is 11 times higher. This effect is achieved due to the fact that specialists in their tool have clarified the features of the use of calcium and magnesium and have developed new effective dosages.
The appearance of the drug on the market for the first time solved the problem of many calcium and magnesium drugs by combining both components in one product at an affordable price. Another feature is the use of water-soluble vitamin D instead of fat-soluble, since the latter interferes with the normal absorption of magnesium in the body.
The drug is made from European raw materials imported from Sweden, Switzerland and Germany. The complex of minerals and vitamins in the composition of the product satisfies the needs for those of all family members of all ages.
