Calcium and vitamin D contribute to the maintenance of normal bone in adults and the growth of bone in children. Older adults, in particular women around menopause, should have a daily intake of calcium to counteract the loss of bone mass which occurs in later life. Whilst young people need to build up strong bones at an early age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVitamin K helps support normal bone as well as contributing to normal blood clotting. Vitamin D also contributes to normal absorption of calcium and helps support normal blood calcium concentrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"accordionHeader\"\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is Calcium?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"accordionBody\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"contentelement clearfix \"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body, of which our bones and teeth store 99%. The remaining 1% present is in the blood and other bodily tissues. Our skeleton acts as a reservoir for calcium therefore our bones become depleted if our calcium intake is insufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium cannot be absorbed from the digestive system without vitamin D. Our bodies produce vitamin D when UV rays hit the skin; however, our bodies ability to produce vitamin D reduces with age. Vitamin K1 and K2 promote the uptake of calcium into bone tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordionHeader\"\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCalcium and Bones\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordionBody\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"contentelement clearfix \"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bones consist of living tissue that is constantly being replaced. The bone-forming cells are called osteoblasts and the bone-degrading cells are called osteoclasts. As bone tissue also functions as the body's calcium storage facility, it is particularly important that we absorb sufficient calcium in the bones. If the body gets too little calcium, the osteoclasts are activated which breaks down bone tissue to cover the body's need for calcium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBio-Calcium + D3 + K1 + K2 is manufactured to pharmaceutical standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach tablet contains 500mg of calcium, 5mcg vitamin D3 and 35mcg vitamin K1 and K2 blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimal balance of elemental calcium and bioavailability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeppermint flavour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalcium tablets can be chewed or swallowed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGluten Free, Lactose Free, Yeast Free, Sugar Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for vegetarians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"question\"\u003eWhen is the best time to take a calcium supplement?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"answer\" data-v-a7030b34=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreferably before bedtime\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"question\"\u003eIs this product suitable for Halal diets?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"answer\" data-v-a7030b34=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product contains no animal derived ingredients or alcohol, it will be suitable for most halal diets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium carbonate, Sweetener: Sorbitol, Anti-caking agent: Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone, Sweetener: Xylitol, Glaxzing agent: Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose\u003cbr\u003eAnti-caking agent: Magnesium salts of fatty acid, Flavour enhancer: Peppermint Powder, Firming agent: Silicon dioxide, Vitamin K2 (Menaquinone), Vitamin K1 (Phytomenadione), Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDirections\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1-3 tablets daily or as recommended by a physician.\u003cstrong\u003eDo not exceed recommended amount.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePregnant and lactating women and those on medication should seek professional advice prior to taking supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNutritional supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.
