Calcium 500 g

Calcium carbonate

Calcium is one of the most abundant minerals in our body. Although we mostly associate it with bones, calcium has many other important functions in the human body. Calcium is, in fact, a component of bone tissue and consequently affects bone density. That is why consuming foods rich in calcium is very important during childhood, when we are growing. It is also very important during the menopause, when the disruption to hormonal balance caused by this phase often affects calcium absorption and thus reduces bone density. The same applies to more or less all older adults. Calcium also plays an important role during pregnancy.

Calcium contributes to the normal functioning of cells and muscles, to the health of bones and teeth, to the normal functioning of digestive enzymes, to proper blood clotting, to the transmission of nerve impulses and to the normal release of energy during metabolism. A deficiency of calcium often leads to osteoporosis, which is another extremely common disease of modern times.

Calcium in the form of calcium carbonate is a natural and safe form of calcium as a dietary supplement. It is well absorbed and has optimal bioavailability.

Calcium needs to be deliberately incorporated into the diet, particularly during periods of rapid growth and during pregnancy. The easiest way to achieve this is through a varied and balanced diet that is naturally rich in calcium.  However, we recommend taking dietary supplements particularly for those who very rarely or never consume milk and dairy products. We also recommend them for women going through the menopause and all older adults.

This dietary supplement is of exceptionally high quality and contains up to 40% elemental calcium.

Why choose calcium carbonate?

There are several types or forms of calcium-based dietary supplements. These are known as calcium salts. These can include calcium gluconate, calcium carbonate, calcium citrate and others. For example, calcium citrate is excellent for those who have problems with low stomach acid or are taking acid-suppressing medication, as it does not require acid for proper absorption. Calcium carbonate, on the other hand, is the most common form of calcium in dietary supplements; it has been proven to be safe and ensures good absorption. We recommend that older people take it immediately after a meal, whilst younger people should take it one hour before or two hours after a meal.

What effect does calcium intake have on our bodies?

Vitamin D also plays an important role in ensuring proper absorption and normal calcium levels in the blood. We can meet the recommended daily intake, particularly in summer, simply by exposing our skin to sunlight. Calcium then helps to:

💚 maintaining healthy teeth and bones,

💚 proper blood clotting,

💚 the release of energy during metabolism,

💚 the normal transmission of nerve impulses and the functioning of muscles and digestive enzymes,

💚 cell division and specialisation.

What are the benefits of our calcium carbonate?
