Effervescence Makes Calcium Carbonate Supplements Even Better!
Pharmaceutical Group: Food Supplement
Dosage Form: Effervescent powder
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body. It is essential for the development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth, where about 99% of the body's calcium is found. Calcium also helps the heart, nerves, muscles and other body systems work properly. It is probably best known for helping prevent osteoporosis.
The body also needs vitamins D in order for calcium to be absorbed and used properly.
Although the best way to get calcium is through food but some people may need to take calcium supplements to get the recommended amount. It is especially important for children to get enough calcium in their diets as they are growing and forming bone, and for older people as they start to lose bone. Postmenopausal women, people who consume large amounts of caffeine, alcohol or soda and those who take corticosteroid medications may need calcium supplements. Calcium deficiency can be found in people who don't absorb enough calcium, as can happen with Crohn's disease, celiac disease and some intestinal surgeries.
