VITAMINS & MINERALS
What are the benefits of Calcium?
Calcium is an essential mineral that offers numerous health benefits, including the strengthening of bones and teeth, prevention of osteoporosis, support of muscle function, assistance in nerve function, lowering of blood pressure, and reducing the risk of colorectal cancer.
When choosing a calcium supplement, it is important to verify that the form offered is easily absorbable, and to take the dosage into account.
Our calcium qualities include heavy calcium carbonate and dibasic calcium phosphate, which is highly bioavailable and provides a good source of phosphate. Choosing a high-quality calcium supplement is essential to maximize the benefits of the supplement.
