By Dr. Candy Akers

As a holistic practitioner, I view Standard Process Cal-Ma Plus® as a beneficial supplement for promoting overall bone health and mineralization. Its unique blend of calcium, magnesium and other trace minerals supports proper cellular function and enzyme activity. Additionally, the inclusion of bovine parathyroid in the formula helps support endocrine function and hormone balance.

The Cal-Ma Plus has been helpful to me. Within a few days after taking this product, my hands and feet, which are normally always cold in the cooler Northeast climate, warmed up. What a relief! Also, I've noticed that my skin is toning up and looking more youthful and spider veins are fading away.
