Calcium and Magnesium are needed for the normal maintenance of bones and teeth. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of bones, cartilage, skin and teeth. Magnesium contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue, supports electrolyte balance, the nervous system, normal muscle function, normal psychological function and the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.
Zinc is a mineral essential to many body processes including the maintenance of normal cognitive function, vision, fertility and reproduction, hair, skin and nails and the immune system. Zinc also contributes to the normal metabolism of fatty acids and macronutrients.
Potential applications: This combination of minerals provides support for a wide range of applications including; osteoporosis or bone fractures, neuro-muscular disorders e.g. fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), cardiovascular conditions e.g. hypertension, the elderly, and sports nutrition (zinc, magnesium, and malic acid are required for efficient energy metabolism (ATP production).
Other applications include hypertension in pregnancy, pre-eclampsia, PMS, PCOS, muscle cramps, hearing loss, bronchial constriction, insulin resistance, acne, male sexual function, and macular degeneration.
Known contraindications: Patients with hyperparathyroidism, severe heart disease or cancer should consult their physician before introducing calcium/magnesium supplementation.
Interactions: Vitamin D is required for effective absorption of calcium. Daily exposure to sunshine, regular exercise and a multi-nutrient formula containing vitamin D and other synergistic nutrients is suggested for optimum bone protection.
Calcium in either food or supplemental form has been shown to inhibit iron absorption by 49 to 62% when ingested together.
Caffeine increases urinary output of calcium.
Note – Interestingly the calcium found in broccoli is twice as bio-available as that found in cow’s milk.
Physical deficiency signs that correlate with a low zinc status include poor night vision, growth retardation, testicular atrophy, mouth ulcers, a white coating on the tongue, and marked halitosis.
