As a nation, we eat poor-quality foods that have been stripped of nutrients. We do not incorporate enough fresh fruits and vegetables into our diets. Many of us get our whole grains from instant rice, refined wheat breads, pastas, and cereal. We eat a tremendous amount of prepackaged, pre-made meals. Because the foods we eat do not provide our bodies with the nutrients it needs, Americans have become overfed and undernourished. While our bodies are not thin, they are still starving for high quality vitamins and minerals. These nutrient deficiencies eventually contribute to chronic illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.
The human body is well designed. If we give the body what it needs, it will heal itself. To help this process along, we need to eat healthier, exercise, and give ourselves high quality supplements where our diets fall short. Whole food supplements supply our bodies with all the vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, and phytonutrients that foods possess in a way that nature intended.

Calm
Natural Vitality’s Natural Calm is a magnesium supplement designed to help with symptoms of calcium excess/magnesium deficiency. Magnesium and calcium are two nutrients that need to be balanced within the body in order for you to be fully healthy. They act to oppose each other, for instance, calcium makes muscles contract, while magnesium makes muscles relax. Calcium excites nerves, while magnesium calms them down. If calcium is the “on” switch, magnesium is the “off.” Magnesium helps your muscles and nerves function properly, keeps your heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, helps to regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure and is required to produce/store energy. With that being said, it is easy to see how critical magnesium can be to our health.
Because magnesium is vital to a wide variety of body processes (over 300 biochemical reactions), deficiency can show up in many ways like fatigue, constipation, headaches, muscle tension and muscle cramps. Natural Calm is the best-selling, award-winning supplement that can help to restore healthy magnesium levels quickly and effectively. Calm comes in 4 flavors: original, orange, lemon, and raspberry-lemon.
