*IF* you take any mineral, you need to take them all. They work best in combination....calcium + magnesium + zinc.+ potassium+ selenium...plus a dash of copper.
It is better for your body, that way, too, and safer.
Also remember, that unlike water soluble vitamins (the C and B complex)minerals and fat soluble vitamins DO NOT exit the body quickly and in large doses will accumulate within the body and cause nasty problems. So be careful with those at high doses!! I would never take high does of minerals, only the recommended amount, unless otherwise directed by a Dr.
