Calcium tablets 400 mg ensure that the body does not lack central building blocks for the Bone health is missing. The high-quality calcium tablets provide 400 milligrams of the pure mineral calcium with three other vital substances, an ideal combination to prevent reduced calcium absorption in the intestine, for example in old age.

As we age, bone mineralization declines. Calcium is associated with vitamin D a central component for bone health and important for bone mineralization. With the high-quality calcium supplement Calcium Tablets 400 mg you can support the adequate total absorption of calcium every day. Vitamin K also supports bone metabolism, for example through the carboxylation of various bone proteins. Vitamin D also ensures that calcium can be incorporated into the bones. With the calcium tablets you enrich your diet with 400 milligrams of calcium (mineral for the bones), 100 milligrams of vitamin C, 100 micrograms of vitamin K1 and 5 micrograms of vitamin D3 without risk and without side effects.

The mineral calcium supports the organism in many more important functions, for example calcium

• to a normal Blood clotting at
• to a normal Energy metabolism at
• to a normal Muscle function at
• to normal signal transmission between the Neurons at
• to a normal function of the Diuretic enzymes at

and calcium is also used to maintain normal Teeth needed. And vitamin D is also important for the immune system , which makes both vital substances an ideal combination.

Good to know : Many people consume less than half the amount of calcium recommended for developing and maintaining healthy bones. Only 33 percent of older women fully meet their calcium requirements. Smoking, high coffee consumption, many sugary drinks and too many foods containing phosphates, as well as the phytin content of highly refined wheat flour, also increase calcium requirements.

Calcium and vitamin D are the most important nutrients when it comes to bone strength. That is why it is so important to regularly supply the body with calcium and vitamin D. But vitamin C and vitamin K are also important for smooth bone metabolism. Calcium tablets 400 mg therefore also contain these two nutrients.

Older people in particular should ensure they have an adequate supply of calcium, eat plenty of grain and dairy products and thus prevent a calcium deficiency. This was announced by the Federal Association of German Pharmacists in Berlin. A Dietary supplements with calcium (calcium tablets, calcium effervescent tablets) are recommended to prevent osteoporosis (bone loss). The associations recommend taking the mineral calcium with meals if possible, because calcium salts are better absorbed by the body when combined with small amounts of fat and protein. A lot of fat and fiber, on the other hand, hinders the absorption of calcium supplements. osteoporosis is a Metabolic disease in which the bones lose stability due to the loss of bone mass. The result is broken bones .

Older people should have their individual risk of osteoporosis assessed by a doctor. The “National Initiative against Osteoporosis” points this out; it draws attention to the danger of bone loss. There are 130,000 femoral neck fractures in senior citizens nationwide every year due to calcium deficiency. The deficiency can be prevented with an adequate calcium supply. Because the mineral calcium is so important for bodily functions, the body meets its needs from the bones when there is a deficiency, which makes them thin and brittle. Our body loses up to 600 mg calcium , which must be replenished through food (or alternatively through calcium supplements, calcium tablets or calcium effervescent tablets). Calcium levels also depend on a sufficient supply of vitamin D, as vitamin D is needed for the storage of calcium in the bones. The vitamin, which is formed in the skin under the influence of the sun, is responsible for calcium storage and management in the body. In countries such as Germany, where the sun shines less often, it is important to give the body additional Vitamin D to supply.

Protein plus calcium prevents hip fractures

A diet that contains a lot of animal protein and calcium significantly reduces the risk of hip fractures. If calcium intake is insufficient, this connection is not evident. This was the result of a study by US researchers led by Dr. Marian T. Hannan from Boston, who evaluated data from 1,752 men and 1,972 women with an average age of 55 from the Framingham Offspring Study. The participants who consumed a lot of animal protein and 800 milligrams or more of calcium daily were particularly well protected against fractures.

Patients who have to take cortisone regularly can reduce or avoid side effects with a proper diet. "In particular, you should pay attention to your body weight in order to prevent weight gain, which can be caused by the increase in appetite when taking cortisone," says Dr. Wolfgang Wesiack, President of the Professional Association of German Internists (BDI). When taking cortisone, you should consume as little sugar as possible because the medication increases blood sugar levels.

In addition, according to Wesiack's recommendations, patients should consume sufficient protein but as little fat and salt as possible. Cortisone can reduce bone density and thus lead to osteoporosis: "The intake of sufficient calcium and vitamin D therefore helps to counteract possible bone loss," says Wesiack.

Children who suffer from Gluten intolerance (celiac disease) and eat strictly gluten-free have a significantly higher bone mineral density than children who follow the gluten-free diet less consistently. This was the result of a two-year study by Slovenian researchers led by Štefan Blazina on 74 children and adolescents.

According to the study, 71 percent of children who did not strictly adhere to their diet had low bone mineral density, but only 38 percent of children who avoided all foods containing gluten. The supply of calcium and vitamin D to children with celiac disease also played an important role in the strength of their bones.

Those who drink two glasses of skimmed milk a day can lose weight more easily. This was the result of a study by Israeli researchers led by Danit Shahar from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. The scientists believe that the vitamin D and calcium, which are abundant in milk, are responsible for this connection.

The scientists followed more than 300 participants between the ages of 40 and 65 who wanted to lose weight for two years, during which they ate either a low-fat, low-carbohydrate or Mediterranean diet. Regardless of the type of diet, the participants who lost the most weight were those who drank a lot of skimmed milk. The researchers found that each daily portion of 180 milliliters of milk led to an additional weight loss of five kilograms in six months, especially if the subjects built up a high vitamin D level as a result.

The amount of calcium a baby consumes in the first days and weeks after birth determines whether the bones will be stable throughout life: the more calcium the infant consumes, the more bone stem cells are formed.

This is the result of a study by North Carolina State University in the USA, which will be presented at the "Experimental Biology 2010" conference in Anaheim. The scientists led by Dr. Chad Stahl assume that this development phase also has long-term effects and thus even influences the risk of osteoporosis in old age.

Vitamin D must be taken in combination with the mineral calcium to effectively protect against bone fractures. This was the result of a meta-analysis by researchers led by Professor Bo Abrahamsen in Copenhagen, who evaluated the data of 68,500 participants from seven studies in Europe and the USA.

The subjects were predominantly female and had an average age of 70 years. Vitamin D alone in the dosage used had no significant effect on the risk of fractures. However, in studies in which vitamin D was combined with calcium, the fracture rate was eight percent lower than in the control groups, and the hip fracture rate was even lower by 16 percent.
