April 11, 2016
Calcium, Magnesium & Zinc
These three minerals have a special relationship.Sometimes their roles oppose each other, sometimes they complement each other and it is their balance that influences many processes. The skeleton acts as a reservoir of calcium and inadequate calcium uptake results in a reduction of bone mass.Calcium uptake depends on the amount in the diet and on factors influencing its absorption. Because increased levels of calcium can cause the loss of magnesium it is beneficial to supplements both together. The lion's share of zinc in the human adult is found in skeletal muscle and bone. It is required for many biological processes including
growth and development, tissue renewal, healthy skin, sexual maturation and reproduction.
The Benefits of Calcium,Magnesium & Zinc:
Osteoporosis- is a loss of bone mass resulting in an increased risk of fractures.
Post-menopausal women have a higher risk of Osteoporosis, this is because
Estrogen, a hormone in women that protects bones, decreases sharply when women reach menopause, which can cause bone loss. Calcium and Magnesium are vital for the formation of bone.
Pre-menstrual Syndrome- Clinical trials have shown that calcium and magnesium both relieve symptoms including water retention, breast tenderness, mood changes, headaches and cramps.
Arthritis- due to the support calcium and magnesium give to bone structure they are important in
osteoarthritis where the joints are affected by wear and tear.Zinc can help
alleviate pain and swelling in
rheumatoid arthritis.
Wound Healing- zinc is required for
protein synthesis and
tissue growth and developments.It is often used in creams to aid healing of
nappy rash,burns and after surgery.
Immune System- zinc works with the
antioxidant vitamins to protect the body from
free radicals.
Heart Health- calcium helps to keep the
heartbeat regular and magnesium helps to promote a healthy
cardiovascular system.
Insomnia- calcium has been shown to help promote normal sleep.
Nervous System- both calcium and magnesium are important in the normal functioning of nerves and nerve impulses.
Acne- zinc has been shown to be effective but, like many acne therapies,may take three months before improvements are noticed.
