Calcium, Magnesium & Zinc by Nature's Way – Bone Health Mineral Supplement
Calcium, Magnesium & Zinc capsules by Nature's Way combine three essential minerals in a gelatin-capsule formula for bone health and normal muscle function. This mineral complex supplies calcium from carbonate, citrate, and malate; magnesium from oxide, citrate, and aspartate; and zinc as bisglycinate.
Each 3-capsule serving provides 500 mg calcium, 250 mg magnesium, and 15 mg zinc. The formula is available in 100- and 250-capsule bottles and contains gelatin, so it is not a vegetarian supplement.
Key Calcium, Magnesium & Zinc Benefits
- Supports the mineral framework that gives bones and teeth their structure through an essential supply of calcium.
- Helps maintain normal muscle activity and nerve signaling through the complementary physiological roles of calcium and magnesium.
- Provides zinc for normal immune-cell function, alongside magnesium-dependent processes that help cells use energy for everyday activity.
How Calcium, Magnesium & Zinc Works
These minerals serve different, complementary roles rather than performing one interchangeable job. Calcium provides structural material for bones and participates in cellular signals. Magnesium helps enzymes use cellular energy and supports communication between nerves and muscles. Zinc assists proteins involved in normal cell maintenance and immune function.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Calcium: Contributes to the mineral framework of bones, helping maintain their structure. The body also regulates calcium movement between the skeleton, blood, and cells, where it participates in the signals needed for normal muscle activity.
- Magnesium: Helps enzymes work with ATP, the energy-carrying molecule cells use to power everyday processes. This mineral also supports normal muscle contraction and nerve communication, connecting cellular energy use with the formula's muscle-support purpose.
- Zinc: Supports normal immune-cell development and activity. It also participates in protein and DNA synthesis, the processes cells use to make and maintain their working components. These nutritional roles complement the formula's calcium and magnesium.
Calcium, Magnesium & Zinc Is Formulated For
- Adults seeking calcium, magnesium, and zinc together to complement their dietary mineral intake.
- Adults who prefer capsules and can use a gelatin-containing formula; it is not formulated for children.

Frequently Asked Questions About Calcium, Magnesium & Zinc
What are the benefits of Calcium, Magnesium & Zinc?
Calcium, Magnesium & Zinc supports bone mineral structure and normal muscle function by supplying three essential nutrients in one capsule formula. Calcium contributes to bones and teeth, while magnesium helps cells use energy and supports nerve communication. Zinc supports normal immune-cell activity and protein production. Each 3-capsule serving supplies 500 mg calcium, 250 mg magnesium, and 15 mg zinc. These minerals complement food intake rather than replace a varied diet.
Who should take Calcium, Magnesium & Zinc?
This Nature's Way formula is intended for adults seeking a combined calcium, magnesium, and zinc supplement. It is not formulated for children, and the label says not to use it during pregnancy or nursing. The capsules contain gelatin, making them unsuitable for vegetarian diets. Adults with kidney dysfunction or anyone taking medications need professional guidance before use. Review your current supplements as well: the label specifically says not to combine this product with other magnesium-containing supplements.
Are there any side effects of taking Calcium, Magnesium & Zinc?
Some individuals may experience gastrointestinal (GI) upset while taking this product. Do not use if you are pregnant or nursing. If you have kidney dysfunction or if you are taking any medications, consult a healthcare professional before use. Do not take with other magnesium-containing supplements. Keep out of reach of children. Supplemental magnesium can cause diarrhea, nausea, or cramping, and calcium can cause constipation or bloating. Calcium can also interfere with levothyroxine, dolutegravir, and quinolone antibiotics; ask a pharmacist about spacing. The full daily dose exceeds the adult supplemental magnesium upper limit, so obtain healthcare guidance.
How does Calcium, Magnesium & Zinc support overall health?
The minerals in this formula contribute to everyday body maintenance in different ways. Calcium supports skeletal structure and normal cellular signaling. Magnesium supports energy-dependent enzyme activity, muscle contraction, and communication along nerves. Zinc helps maintain normal immune-cell activity and the production of proteins and DNA. Together, these nutritional functions support normal body processes, not a promise of a particular symptom change. The labeled schedule is 3 capsules twice daily, preferably with food, without exceeding that dose.
