Vitamin And Mineral Supplements

-Calcium is vital for strong bones and teeth, and the 
 health of the heart, muscles and nerves. It is especially 
 important during pregnancy, lactation  and in the 
 menopause.
-Vitamin D3 acts as a regulator of calcium metabolism 
 and maintains the normal rate of  bone formation. 
-Zinc and magnesium are essential elements of 
 nutrition.  
-They are important constituents of many enzyme 
 systems and are present in all tissues, Zinc speeds
 wound healing and boosts the ageing of the immune
 system. 
-Zinc plays an important role in the treatment of 
 acrodermatitis enteropathica, anorexia nervosa, and 
 aphthous ulcer. 
-Zinc and magnesium are widely distributed throughout 
 the body and are excreted in the faeces with only traces 
 appearing in the urine and  have little or no role in 
 regulating the content of zinc in the body.
-Magnesium salts  and  calcium carbonate are important 
 during pregnancy for neutralizing hyperacidity of 
 common occurrence. Carbonate acts quickly for short 
 time, while magnesium acts for long time.
