Jamieson Calcium Magnesium & Vitamin D3 200 caplets

Ingredients:

• Calcium (carbonate, citrate, fumarate, malate, succinate): 333mg (33% Daily Value for adults)
• Magnesium (oxide, citrate, fumarate, malate, succinate): 167mg (40% Daily Value for adults)
• Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol): 5 mcg (200 IU) (50% Daily Value for adults)

Claimed Benefits:

• Supports strong bones and teeth (calcium and vitamin D work together for optimal absorption)
• Supports muscle function and relaxation (magnesium)
• May help prevent osteoporosis (calcium and vitamin D, with a healthy diet and exercise)
• Vitamin D may also contribute to immune system function (limited evidence)

Considerations:

• Generally Suitable Dosages: The calcium and magnesium dosages are generally suitable for most healthy adults. The vitamin D3 dosage (200 IU) is a moderate amount.
• Calcium to Magnesium Ratio: This Jamieson formula boasts a 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium, which is considered optimal for absorption.

Recommendations:

• Consult Your Doctor Before Use: This is especially important if you have any underlying health conditions (kidney disease, hypercalcemia) or take medications that can interact with calcium, magnesium, or vitamin D.
• Individual Needs: Your doctor can assess your calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D needs based on your age, health, and dietary intake. They might recommend a different dosage depending on your situation (e.g., higher vitamin D if you have a deficiency).
• Dietary Sources: Include calcium-rich foods (dairy products, leafy green vegetables), magnesium-rich foods (nuts, seeds, legumes), and vitamin D-rich foods (fatty fish, egg yolks) in your diet.
• Follow Dosage Instructions: If your doctor recommends this supplement, follow the recommended dosage carefully. Don't exceed the recommended intake without consulting your doctor.
