21st CenturyCal Mag Zinc +D Tablets, 90 Count

Actually, the phrase that I used in my headline was the slogan for Wonder Bread. But Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc are supposed to strengthen your bones in a plethora of ways. That is why I take it. Paul H.

This company makes excellent vitamins and supplements at a very reasonable price.

I take this on my doctor's recommendation. They provide the right amount of the 3 vitamins. The best thing is they are not too big to swallow! They have a smooth, glossy finish which helps them go down.

While it is too soon to know the overall impact of this supplement, I can at leasttell everyone about the pills themselves. For some reason, most manufacturers never showthe actual pill. Considering how important that is to most people, it is pretty strange thatthey don't show them.First off, I am lactose-sensitive (not full blown allergic, but milk and I don't agree at all).So after many, many years of not even thinking about the impact that would eventually have on mybones and teeth, I finally woke up and started supplementing what I was missing from not drinkingmilk. I also don't get outside very much (and am NOT an outdoors person), so I wasn't getting thesunshine source either.I was taking just vitamin D supplements, and did notice an increase in feeling better overall. Mostlikely, like many women, I was not getting enough. However, after reading many articles about women'shealth, Vit D and such, I did a head-slap realization that my vit D supplements were still not helpingon the calcium. I looked through a lot of supplements that had both Vitamin D AND Calcium. There areseveral out there, but not a lot that had enough to really do any good without taking several a day.This one actually had more than I was looking for, but nothing that would be harmful in my case, so I tried it.I am not really sure about the added value of the magnesium and zinc. However, sinceI don't regularly take anything else with those two things in it, I figured it would be hard to get morethan I needed.The container is GREAT! Truly, I appreciate it when something is thought out and well-designed.The bottle is easy to handle and easy to open. There are no push-down lids that you need pliers to remove,or doohickeys to line up to get them open. With this one, the lid stays on, and it has a pop-up half lid.It makes it very easy to get your pill out. For all adult households or older people, this is a really nicething. I don't know about you, but I hate fiddling with some of those lids that offer a whole lot more"protection" than I need from my own vitamins! Either I can't get the lids off, or they roll away after theyfinally pop off. The lid here stays on all the time, and I think that is a huge benefit. It makes my day easier!To households with little children, it might make a difference, but all medications should be out of reach any way.The pills themselves are a little less than an inch long. They are very compressed, and coated somehow that makesthem very slick. I have a hard time with swallowing pills. I still can't take this one alone, but it goes downvery easily with a bite of bread or fruit. I've never had one stick to my tongue like some other pills! That'sa benefit too.So, the overall effect hasn't been quantified yet - no bloodwork, nothing special, no numbers to quote.But I can say that I haven't had leg cramps since taking this, probably due to the combination of calciumand magnesium. As with anything, don't take more than you need, but I could say that this supplement would bea benefit to adult females of any age, and possibly males.So far, very happy with my purchase.

These are a good combination mineral supplement and good value for the price. They are small-ish and easy to swallow but the dose is 3 pills not one.
