Calcium, magnesium, and zinc are familiar and indispensable nutrients for humans. They exist in different foods and enter the body naturally when people consume those foods.
1. Benefits of using calcium - magnesium - zinc combination tablets
Supplements with ingredients that combine many factors such as calcium - magnesium - zinc are becoming more and more popular and used more and more. In fact, calcium - magnesium - zinc combination tablets can bring quite a lot of benefits, although there are only clear research results for each individual mineral, while the combination pill is still under investigation. is lacking and is still being worked on. However, calcium combined with magnesium and zinc is completely safe, capable of bringing many benefits to users.1.1 The ability to strengthen bones Calcium - magnesium - zinc combination tablets help strengthen bones in many different ways. Calcium is the main mineral component found in bones, accounting for more than 99% of calcium reserves in the body. Bone tissue is regenerated continuously, so it is extremely important to get enough calcium daily to create a source of raw materials for regeneration.
Zinc also helps synthesize bone-building minerals. In addition, zinc supports the creation of osteoblasts and prevents the formation of osteoclasts.
Magnesium plays an important role in converting vitamin D into its active form so that the body can absorb calcium.
1.2 Emotional Enhancement Magnesium and zinc are fundamental components of the brain's signaling and signal processing. If adequate amounts of these minerals are not obtained on a daily basis, emotions can be affected, and taking a synthetic supplement is likely to improve the condition.
Results of 18 different studies suggest that magnesium supplements can reduce feelings of anxiety in susceptible individuals. However, these studies still have certain problems. Additionally, a recent analysis of depressive symptoms noted that magnesium supplementation had little effect in controlled studies, in contrast to the potential results in observational studies.
A large study of more than 14,800 people found that those who got the required amount of zinc daily were 26% less likely to develop depression than those who didn't get enough. Research results are currently mixed, so further research is continuing to be conducted.
1.3 Immune-boosting power Magnesium and zinc can help boost immunity and reduce inflammation. Inflammation is a normal immune response of the body, but chronic inflammation is damaging and is one of the causes of serious conditions such as heart disease or cancer.
Magnesium supplementation has been shown to reduce markers of chronic inflammation, such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin 6 (IL-6). And magnesium deficiency has been linked with chronic inflammation.
Zinc plays an important role in the development and function of many immune cells. Zinc supplements offer hope in helping to fight infections and heal wounds.
1.4 The ability to support blood sugar control Magnesium and zinc also have the ability to regulate blood sugar levels of the body. An analysis of the results of 32 studies involving 1,700 people showed that zinc administration significantly reduced insulin levels, fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) - an indicator of control results. long-term glycemic control.
An analysis of the results of 25 other studies in more than 1360 patients with diabetes found that zinc supplementation was as effective in lowering HbA1c as a treatment called metformin.
Magnesium is also the result of research suggesting the ability to support blood sugar control in people with diabetes by increasing the body's ability to use insulin. Analysis of the results of 18 studies in patients with diabetes showed that magnesium supplementation was effective in reducing fasting blood glucose levels. Furthermore, blood glucose levels in people at risk of diabetes were also significantly reduced.
1.5 The ability to improve sleep quality Both magnesium and zinc have the ability to improve sleep quality. Studies show that magnesium helps regulate the parasympathetic nervous system, making the body feel calmer and more relaxed.
Plus, studies of zinc supplementation in humans and animals show that higher blood zinc levels correlate with better sleep quality. A small eight-week study in older adults with insomnia revealed that daily supplementation of zinc, magnesium, and melatonin resulted in easier sleep and higher sleep quality.
