Calcium salts

Calcium is a vital mineral that the body cannot produce on its own. It must be obtained through calcium-rich foods, high-quality supplements, or medications to prevent calcium deficiency and related health issues.

The German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends a daily intake of 1,000 to 1,200 mg of calcium for adolescents and adults.

Functions and Benefits of Calcium

Calcium contributes to:

• Maintaining healthy bones and teeth
• Normal muscle function
• Normal blood clotting
• Energy-yielding metabolism
• Normal neurotransmission
• Function of digestive enzymes
• Cell division and specialization

Scientifically Supported Benefits

Research shows that calcium:

• Improves bone density and helps prevent osteoporosis
• Supports healthy digestion by activating digestive enzymes
• May help reduce muscle loss with aging
• Can support menstrual regularity and ovulation
• Is especially important for athletes and active older adults

For postmenopausal women, calcium is particularly important, as the decline in estrogen can accelerate bone loss.

Approved EU Health Claims:

• Normal blood clotting
• Normal muscle function
