Calcium is one of the most important minerals in your body because it helps to build and strengthen bones and teeth. Supplementation is essential in order to prevent diseases such as Osteoporosis (common in elderly), Osteomalacia and Rickets (more common in juveniles). For this reason, people that are lactose intolerant (diary only), or Vegans should definitely supplement their diet with calcium as diary is one of the main sources of calcium.

Supplementation of calcium is also encouraged when pregnant women are at a high risk of Preeclampsia, Premenstrual Syndrome and Gestational hypertension. Calcium supplementation is also thought to benefit patients suffering from colon cancer.

Zinc is an essential mineral that is a component of more than 300 enzymes needed to repair wounds, maintain fertility in adults (esp. male infertility), encourage growth in children, synthesize proteins, help cells reproduce, preserve vision, boost immunity, and protect against free radicals, among other functions.

Zinc is thought to be very beneficial in the treatment of acne, night blindness, male infertility, hair loss and Wilsons disease. It has also thought to have a beneficial role in Downs syndrome, Anemia, immune function (potential anti-viral function -common cold and cold sore prevention) and in pregnancy.

Magnesium is an essential mineral to the human body. It is required in the formation of bone tissue and regulation of calcium by the kidneys, thus improving cardiovascular health and preventing kidney stones.
