Good 'N Natural Chelated Calcium Magnesium Zinc
Brand: Good 'N Natural · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this combination supplement provides three essential minerals that work together. Calcium supports your bone density and nerve signaling, but the key is getting the right balance [NIH ODS]. Our assessment: this product can be a convenient way to support your daily intake, but you must be careful with total calcium from all sources.
How it works
Think of calcium as the building block for your bones, supporting mineralization and density [NIH ODS]. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. The inclusion of magnesium and zinc in this formula supports these processes, though specific data for this exact combination product is limited.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all products in this database, though this number is not specific to this supplement alone. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High blood levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start with one serving per day and do not exceed the labeled dose. You should check your total calcium intake from food and other supplements, as high intakes pose risks [NIH ODS]. Take this supplement at least two hours apart from any medications you are on, especially antibiotics or thyroid medication [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific magnesium and zinc levels in this product is not available, so choose a brand with clear labeling.
