Calcium Carbonate is a dietetic supplement used to fulfill the calcium deficiency in the body. The body needs calcium for healthy bones, muscles, nervous system, and heart. Calcium carbonate is also used as an antacid to reduce heartburn, stomach upset and acid indigestion. It is obtainable with or without a doctor’s prescription. Calcium carbonate comes as a chewable tablet, swallowing tablet, capsule, and liquid form. It is generally taken three or four times in a day. Chewable calcium carbonate tablets must be chewed properly before being swallowed; never swallow them whole. Drink a full glass of water with either the normal or chewable tablets or even capsules. Liquid forms of calcium carbonate should be shaken well before use. Do not use calcium carbonate as an antacid for more than two weeks except if your doctor advices.

Calcium Citrate, calcium salt of citric acid, is one of the forms of the mineral calcium. Calcium is required for a wide array of bodily functions and its deficiency can result in disorders like osteoporosis. In order for the body to continue its daily processes efficiently, a steady level of calcium has to be maintained in the body. If your daily diet does not provide you with the necessary calcium, you may have to resort to calcium citrate or calcium carbonate supplements. While both of them serve the same purpose, calcium citrate has added benefits than calcium carbonate. Not only is it easy on your digestive system but also more easily absorbed. Ideally, not more than 500 mg. should be consumed in a single dose. Dividing the dosage over the course of the day is preferable.

Calcium Phosphate is from the family of minerals containing calcium ions (Ca2+) together with orthophosphates (PO43-), metaphosphates or pyrophosphates (P2O74-) and occasionally hydrogen or hydroxide ions. It is increasingly insoluble at increasing temperatures unlike other chemicals so it precipitates at higher temperatures. Commercially Calcium phosphate is used in production of phosphoric acid and fertilizers. It is also used as nutritional supplement for bone and tooth health. Another practical use of Calcium phosphate is in dental products for demineralization and as diluents in some medicine. It is also used in technologies involving transfection of cells.

Coral Calcium is composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) obtained from fossilized coral reefs. Living reefs are endangered so it is harvested from limestone deposits which were once part coral reefs. It is a source of calcium which is an essential nutrient for humans. Manufacturers claim many health benefits of coral calcium supplements, it is also claimed to be an alternative treatment for cancer however these claims are biologically unproven. In United States, Food and Drug Administration has announced them to be "Fake Cancer 'Cure'.

Iodine, a necessary element used by the body to make the thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine. These Thyroid hormones are needed to maintain a healthy metabolic rate and cellular metabolism.

Iron is vital in human nutrition as the adult human body contains 3-4 grams of iron. Haem-iron and non-haem iron are the two types of iron. Foods rich in haem-iron include meat, liver, fish, and poultry. Foods that are high in non-haem iron are those of vegetable origin, like green leafy vegetables, cereals, legumes, oilseeds, nuts, dry fruits and jiggery. Iron is vital for numerous body functions, including hemoglobin formation, brain development and function, muscle activity, regulation of body temperature and catecholamine. Deficiency of iron affects immune system, reduces the number of T-cells and production of antibodies. Iron is also necessary for binding oxygen to body cells as its main function is oxygen transport and cell respiration. It works as an anti-cancer agent. Iron increases energy level of the body, improving physical performance. It prevents insomnia.

Magnesium, which is a mineral used by the body to help maintain muscles, bones, and nerves. Magnesium is also needed for energy metabolism and protein synthesis.

Vitamin D- The fast soluble vitamin D is perhaps the most underrated nutrient that is produced when sunlight touches the skin. But it is extremely vital for bone health, as without it the body cannot absorb the calcium that you may provide it in the form of supplements. With the advent of beauty products with high sun protection factor, this nutrient is becoming less available to our bodies. Even weaker sunscreens with just SPF-8 prevent the body considerably from producing vitamin D. Diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, certain cancers, multiple sclerosis, and even schizophrenia may stem from deficiency of this vitamin. You can provide vitamin D to your body through supplements and foods like mushrooms, tuna, eggs, dark green leafy vegetables, salmon, sardines, mackerel, fortified dairy products and cereals, yoghurt, and milk.

Zinc is a mineral found in most cells in the human body. It plays an important role in stimulating enzyme functions. It improves the immune system that protects against bacterial and viral infections. It also promotes healing of wound. Zinc helps in maintaining a normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood and adolescence. It also has antioxidant properties that prevent cell damage caused by free radicals that may lead to premature aging, heart problems and even cancer. It aids in cell growth, renewal, and repair. Zinc increases muscle growth and improves endurance. It also helps cleanse and get rid of toxins that accumulated in the body.
