Calcium
Calcium is a nutrient that is required by all living things, including humans. It is the body's most prevalent mineral and is essential for bone health.
Calcium aids in the control of muscular contractions. The body produces calcium when a neuron stimulates a muscle. Calcium aids muscular contraction by assisting the proteins in the muscle.
Calcium is essential for blood coagulation. Clotting is a multi-step operation that requires a lot of patience. A variety of substances, including calcium, are involved.
Many enzymes require calcium as a cofactor. Some important enzymes cannot function properly without calcium.

Potassium
Potassium is the body's third most abundant mineral.
It aids the body in fluid regulation, nerve transmission, and muscle contraction control.
This mineral is required for the activation of nerve impulses throughout the neurological system. Nerve impulses control muscular contractions, heartbeat, reflexes, and a variety of other functions.
The amount of potassium in the body has a big impact on muscular contractions. Changes in levels might induce muscle weakness and an irregular beating in the heart.
A potassium-rich diet has been linked to a lower risk of stroke in several studies.
Potassium-rich foods can help prevent osteoporosis by lowering the amount of calcium lost through urine.

Magnesium (as Magnesium Oxide)
Magnesium oxide, when used on a daily basis, can assist to raise magnesium levels & ease constipation.

2). What happens if we do not consume sufficient vitamins and minerals?

At every stage of life, micronutrients are required for vital functions of the body. Not consuming sufficient micronutrients can lead to major health complications such as nutral tube defects in the child if folic acid is inadequate during conception, it can also increase susceptibility to various lifestyle disorders such as hormonal issues, diabetes etc. Hence, it is critical to balance micronutrients in one’s daily consumption.

However, fat soluble vitamins (Vitamisn A, D, E, K) are not as easy to eliminate from the body and can cause issues when taken in excess. Further, minerals regulate crucial functions like contractions of muscles like that of the heart and higher doses of these could also be detrimental. It is therefore important to take these micronutrients in the quantities specified and required by the body.
