As we age, bone mineralization can decrease, so an adequate supply of calcium and vitamin D is important, as both play an important role in bone strength. Women are particularly affected by increased bone loss due to hormonal changes. To prevent this, regular exercise and avoiding alcohol and nicotine are recommended, as both have a negative effect on bone metabolism. An adequate supply of calcium and vitamin D can also help to maintain bone strength.
Calcium is the essential building block of bones ; vitamin D promotes the absorption of calcium from the intestine and thus additionally supports bone metabolism.
Calcium effervescent tablets 400 mg also contain vitamins C and K. They support the mineral calcium in its function in building bones. An effervescent tablet sensibly supplements your daily diet with these four important vital substances.
Good to know :
- Many people consume less than half the recommended amount of calcium to develop and maintain healthy bones.
- Only 33 percent of older women fully meet their calcium needs.
- 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 the need for calcium.
