The mineral we need the most

An adult has about one kilogram of calcium in their body. About 99 percent of this is found in bones and teeth, which thus also serve as calcium stores. The remaining calcium performs functions in muscles, nerves, and blood.

The German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends that adults consume 1,000 mg of calcium per day. That sounds like a lot, and in fact, many people fall short of this amount, especially if milk and dairy products or calcium-rich plant-based foods such as kale are rarely part of their diet.

What Calcium Does in the Body

Calcium performs more functions than most people realize. These have been scientifically proven and are officially recognized. Health claims regarding the following effects of calcium are authorized in the EU:

  • Bones and teeth: Calcium is necessary for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.
  • Muscles: Calcium contributes to normal muscle function.
  • Nerves: Calcium contributes to normal signal transmission between nerve cells.
  • Blood: Calcium contributes to normal blood clotting.
  • Energy metabolism & Digestion: Calcium contributes to normal energy metabolism and the normal function of digestive enzymes.
  • Cells: Calcium plays a role in cell division and specialization.

Why Calcium and Vitamin D Go Hand in Hand

Vitamin D supports the absorption and utilization of calcium. Vitamin D is needed to ensure that calcium is absorbed more efficiently from the intestines. There is also a recognized health claim for this: Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, as well as to normal blood calcium levels.

That’s why many supplements combine both nutrients from the start, such as our Calcium Effervescent Tablets 400 mg with vitamin D3, vitamin C, and vitamin K1. If you’d like to take vitamin D as a separate supplement, you’ll find other suitable products under vitamin D3.

Buying calcium: 600 mg, 400 mg or a combination product?

  • Calcium Tablets 600 mg: The classic option with a higher single dose, plus vitamin D3, K1 and K2. Practical for anyone who prefers a higher-dose portion of calcium.
  • Calcium Effervescent Tablets 400 mg: Dissolved in water, with an orange flavour. Pleasant for anyone who does not like swallowing tablets and would rather take calcium as a drink. At the same time, you also take in fluid.
  • Combinations for the bones: Nobilin Osteo Complex and Nobilin Mineral Plus® combine calcium with other minerals and vitamins.

Who should pay particular attention to calcium:

  • if you avoid or do not tolerate milk and dairy products,
  • if you follow a vegan diet,
  • as you get older and during the menopause, when requirements increase,
  • if you regularly drink a lot of coffee or alcohol, as this can affect your calcium balance.

If you are unsure, have existing complaints or take medication regularly, please consult a doctor before taking a supplement.
