Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, D3 Complex

Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Vitamin D3 Complex capsules are a dietary supplement containing chelated forms of calcium, magnesium and zinc with high bioavailability and utilization in the human body. In addition, the formula is supplemented with vitamin D3.

The product is intended for people who want to keep their bones and muscles healthy, maintain the normal function of the immune system, contribute to energy metabolism and ensure optimal intake of calcium, magnesium, zinc and vitamin D from quality sources.

Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Vitamin D3 Complex capsules contain as many as 3 forms of calcium, which in the recommended daily dose provide 564 mg of elemental calcium (71% PU), 3 forms of magnesium, which provide 242 mg of elemental magnesium (65% PU) and 3 forms of zinc, which provide 10 mg of zinc (100% PU) – optimal bioavailability and utilization are ensured. It contains vitamin D3, which best raises the level of vitamin D in the body.

Magnesium is involved in practically all major metabolic and biochemical processes within the cell (it is a cofactor in more than 600 enzymes and acts as an activator in an additional 200) and is responsible for numerous functions in the body, including bone development, brain and muscle function, signaling pathways in energy storage and transfer to the body, glucose, lipid and protein metabolism and cell reproduction.

Zinc is a trace element essential for the human body and plays a key role in various physiological processes, such as cell growth and development, metabolism, cognitive, reproductive and immune systems, and is an important factor in bone health.

Vitamin D is necessary for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the intestines, which is essential for building and maintaining strong bones and teeth. Inadequate vitamin D intake over a long period of time can lead to bone demineralization. Vitamin D stimulates the synthesis of muscle proteins and inhibits their breakdown. It supports the growth and repair of muscle fibers, which is essential for muscle hypertrophy and recovery after exercise.

  • Results: The study examined the effect of calcium supplementation (with participants taking either 1,000 mg of calcium or a placebo) over a two year period, on bone mass in a group of 122 women. The average rate of total body bone mineral density loss was reduced by 43% in the calcium group compared to the placebo group. The calcium supplement had a similar effect regardless of whether the dietary calcium intake was above or below the group’s average.

  • Results:
    In a study where patients with fractures were treated by daily using 50 mg of zinc, 24 out of 30 patients showed radiological evidence of fracture healing after 60 days, compared to 15 out of 30 patients treated with a placebo.

  • Results: After zinc supplementation (45 mg of zinc daily for 12 months) in 50 healthy individuals aged 55-87 years, the frequency of infections was significantly lower and plasma zinc levels were significantly higher in the group receiving zinc compared to the placebo group.

  • Results:
    Research findings indicate a correlation between bone mineral density and vitamin D concentration, particularly in the hip area. Women with osteoporosis can be expected to have a threefold higher prevalence of severe vitamin D deficiency compared to women with normal bone mineral density.
