Calcium, Magnesium, and Zinc:

Action: 

These three minerals work synergistically and are essential for numerous bodily functions. 

Calcium is vital for bone health, muscle function, nerve transmission, and blood clotting. 

Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, including energy production, muscle relaxation, and nerve function.

Zinc is crucial for immune function, cell growth, wound healing, and enzyme activity.

Benefits:

• Bone Health: Calcium and magnesium are essential for maintaining strong bones and preventing osteoporosis.
• Muscle and Nerve Function: Magnesium supports muscle relaxation and nerve transmission, helping to prevent muscle cramps and improve nerve function.
• Immune Support: Zinc is crucial for a healthy immune response.
• Enzyme Activity: All three minerals are involved in various enzymatic reactions.

Side Effects:

• Calcium: High doses of calcium can cause constipation, kidney stones, and may interfere with the absorption of other minerals.
• Magnesium: High doses of magnesium can cause diarrhea.
• Zinc: High doses of zinc can cause nausea, vomiting, and may interfere with copper absorption.

Dosage:

Most adults need about:

•  750 mg of a quality calcium product
• 450 mg of a quality magnesium product, 
• and about 20-30 mg of a good zinc product. 

Chelated minerals (such as calcium citrate, magnesium glycinate, and zinc picolinate) are generally well-absorbed. 

The form of the minerals should be chelates, lactates, citrates, or other high-quality forms. Some people need more than this.

Even babies need a calcium and magnesium supplement, but not much zinc (consult a pediatrician for infant dosages).
