Calcium is an essential mineral found in great abundance in the body. Ninety-nine percent of all the calcium in the body is found in the bones and teeth. The remaining one percent is in the blood. Calcium plays important roles in nerve conduction, muscle contraction, and blood clotting. If calcium levels in the blood drop below normal, calcium will be taken from bone and put into the blood in order to maintain blood calcium levels. Therefore, it is important to consume enough calcium to maintain adequate blood and bone calcium levels.
Calcium supplements are used to prevent and to treat calcium deficiencies. Most experts recommend that supplements be taken with food to aid in absorption and that no more than 600 mg should be taken at a time because the percent of calcium absorbed decreases as the amount of calcium in the supplement increases. It is recommended to spread doses throughout the day. Recommended daily calcium intake for adults ranges from 1000 to 1500 mg.
Our Calcium tablets are a unique combination of Calcium, Magnesium & Vitamin D which is required to get converted to a hormone in the body which then induces the synthesis of intestinal proteins responsible for calcium absorption.
