Calcium: for optimum bone health and muscular function

You might not realise, but our bones are made up of living tissues – two of the four main types are called ‘osteoclasts’ and ‘osteoblasts’. These tiny bone cells work together to maintain our bone health, and function as the body’s main calcium storage facility
(holding 99% of it). Osteoclasts break down old or damaged bone tissue,to make way for the osteoblasts, which deposit calcium in the body and create new bone tissue.

Sounds simple, right? Well, not always. Calcium is stored on our bodies for a reason: it’s vital. Our muscles(including the heart) all need calcium to function properly. Calcium also helps our body send and receive nerve signals, and release hormones and other chemicals. If we don’t get enough calcium in our bodies, our bones will suffer. Osteoclasts will take some from the reserves instead, which could result in weaker, more fragile bones that break easier and can cause a loss of mobility over time.

A finely-tuned balance of vitamins and minerals for best bioavailabilty

Bio-Calcium+D3+K1+K2 peppermint flavour calcium tablets from Pharma Nord contain a high percentage of
easily-absorbed calcium, plus vitamin D3, K1 and K2. This is because our bone cells also need more than just calcium to get by. In fact, calcium can’t be absorbed from our digestive system without vitamin D – which can only be produced by our body when UV rays hit the skin. What’s more, vitamin K1 and K2 promote the uptake of calcium into bone tissue, and also contribute to normal blood clotting.

We all need sufficient supplies of calcium – some of us more than others. Growing children, teens, and young adults need enough to build up strong bones at an early age. Older adults need to watch their intake too, as bones can lose calcium as we age – particularly after menopause. Taking an effective supplement like Bio-Calcium+D3+K1+K2 will help counteract the loss of bone mass which occurs in later life.
