Dolomite

 

Dolomite is a naturally occurring mineral (Calcium Magnesium Carbonate), which is obtained from extensive deposits, from which stone of only the highest quality is selected.  The mined mineral is subsequently ground using pebble mills to give a powder of the desired specification.

 

The Benefits of Dolomite

 

Maintains healthy bones and teeth – it is especially important for menopausal and pregnant women.

Muscle cramps – it can alleviate muscle cramps and twitches (especially premenstrually).

Bone replacement – between 10% and 20% of adult bone calcium is replaced annually.

 

Properties

 

Dolomite is a particularly useful product because the two minerals are provided in such quantities that they are perfectly balanced nutritionally, ensuring maximum utilisation of each.

Magnesium – necessary for calcium and vitamin C metabolism, as well as phosphorus, sodium and potassium.  It is an essential part of many enzyme systems, including those controlling nerve and muscle function.

Calcium – is the most abundant mineral within the body, and works with phosphorus to make healthy bones and teeth.  Calcium works with magnesium to promote cardiovascular health.

 

Contra-indications/Precautions

 

Should be avoided by anyone with hypercalcaemia, hypercalciuria, renal impairment and renal stones and hypertension.
