Calcium

Of all the minerals, Calcium ranks among the highest in terms of quantity in the body. While calcium supports a variety of functions in the body, such as muscle contraction, one of its most important jobs is to give structure and integrity to bones and teeth. In fact, calcium is pulled in and out of bones during normal processes.

Bone health is a sum of several factors including genetics, environment, life-style and nutrition. Calcium is just one ingredient in the “recipe” for healthy bones. Vitamin D is another nutrient that is important because it helps with calcium absorption, so calcium has a better chance of getting where it needs to go.

Calcium is better absorbed when taken with food. Also, when you split the dose—1 tablet twice a day rather than all at once—the calcium has an even better chance of being absorbed. And, we added vitamin D to our formulation to further help with absorption.
