Windmill Cal-Mag-Zinc
Brand: Windmill · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Windmill Cal-Mag-Zinc combines three essential minerals in a single supplement. However, data on this specific product is limited. The data provided does not include dosage amounts for calcium, magnesium, or zinc, nor does it specify the form of these minerals (e.g., calcium carbonate vs. citrate). This makes it impossible to assess whether the product meets your individual needs or provides optimal absorption. For general health, the RDA for calcium is 1,000–1,200 mg for most adults, for magnesium it is 310–420 mg, and for zinc it is 8–11 mg [NIH ODS]. Without these numbers, we cannot confirm if this product delivers effective amounts.
How it works
Think of these three minerals as a team supporting your body’s foundation. Calcium is critical for bone strength and muscle contraction [NIH ODS]. Magnesium helps regulate muscle and nerve function, blood sugar levels, and blood pressure [NIH ODS]. Zinc supports your immune system, wound healing, and cell growth [NIH ODS]. Taking them together can be convenient, but high doses of calcium can interfere with zinc absorption, and the ratio matters for effectiveness. Data not available on the specific ratios or forms used in Windmill Cal-Mag-Zinc, so we cannot confirm how well they work together in this product.
Safety profile
Data not available on adverse event reports for Windmill Cal-Mag-Zinc specifically. However, general risks for these minerals are well-documented. Too much calcium (above 2,000–2,500 mg daily) can cause kidney stones and constipation [NIH ODS]. High magnesium intake from supplements can lead to diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal cramping [NIH ODS]. Excessive zinc (above 40 mg daily) can cause copper deficiency and suppress immune function [NIH ODS]. FDA data for these minerals individually includes reports of gastrointestinal upset, but no specific report count is available for this product [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the exact dosages and mineral forms in Windmill Cal-Mag-Zinc, so we cannot recommend it with confidence. For a safer approach, consider taking separate supplements for calcium, magnesium, and zinc with known dosages. Choose forms like calcium citrate for better absorption, magnesium glycinate for gentler digestion, and zinc picolinate for high bioavailability [NIH ODS]. Always check with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you have kidney issues or take medications like antibiotics or diuretics [NIH ODS].

- Amount Per Serving — Shows the quantity of each nutrient in the product, typically in IU (International Units), mg (milligrams), or mcg (micrograms).
- % Daily Value (%DV) — Indicates how much a nutrient in a serving contributes to a daily diet. 5% DV or less is low; 20% DV or more is high.
- Other Ingredients — Lists inactive ingredients like fillers, binders, and capsule materials (e.g., gelatin, cellulose, magnesium stearate).
- Suggested Use — The manufacturer's recommended directions for taking the supplement, including timing and dosage.
