SOLARAY Calcium Magnesium Zinc 250 Vegetarian Capsules

Helps maintain strong bones

This product works well but my system sometimes needs less magnesium and more calcium. Too much Magnesium doesn't work well for me but it's great for the majority of women.

Soloray is a brand of supplements that I trust and this particular product is a good balance of calcium, magnesium, and zinc. Calcium is necessary to maintain healthy bones and teeth as well as benefiting nerves and muscles. Magnesium helps the calcium do its job and participates in numerous enzymatic reactions in the body and is intended to provide nutritive support for normal, healthy heart, muscle, nerve and circulatory function. Zinc is involved in over 100 enzymatic reactions in the body, plays an important role in immune system function and is vital for the normal structure of cell membranes. I began using this product several years ago on the advice of a nutritionist. I was already taking a calcium supplement in order to maintain good bone density; but this nutritionist recommended that I take a magnesium supplement along with holy basil 30-45 minutes before bedtime to help with my sleep. I had been taking Ambien nightly for nearly 9 years. I'd tried off-and-on for a number of years to wean myself off the Ambien and tried substituting a variety of natural sleep aids (melatonin, herbal mixes, behavior modification, you name it). Nothing helped my insomnia. Then I took her advice and added the magnesium to my supplement regimen. For the first time in years, I was able to gradually drift off to sleep. When I added the holy basil, sleep came even easier and my sleep patterns seemed more regulated. I'd been buying this at a health store; but the price on Amazon is much better.

This is the ONLY cal-mag that I've found that has the EXACT proportions of each mineral! I no longer have to purchase extra magnesium because the other brands are heavy on Calcium but light on mag!

I was having horrible insomnia and was told to try some Cal/Mag at night to try to help relax and sleep. I found this product and for the price and ingredients I gave it a try. Since I am new to using this supplement I am taking half the does right now. I tried taking the full dose right off the bat (4pills) but it gave me a little stomach ache so decided to cut it back to half (2pills) and work my way up. I have def noticed that they help me relax, I take them right before bed. Its only been a couple of weeks so I will see how I they help by the end of the bottle and decide then if I will keep taking them. I also purchased the Solaray B-Complex and my acne is almost gone. I don't know if that is from taking this Supplement or the B-Complex but it is def a plus as I have been battling acne my entire life. So for now I will keep talking this at night along with the B-Complex in the morning.
