Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D for superior absorption, with a role in maintaining the health of the bone system and the normal functioning of the muscular system.

Present everywhere in nature, calcium has an essential role in the human body, ensuring the normal functioning of the osteoarticular system, bone density and the functioning of muscle and nerve cells. A vital macroelement for humans, calcium is found in many foods, but its fixation in bones also depends on the presence of vitamin D.

In the human body, calcium represents approximately 2% of the body mass and 99% is stored in the bone system and teeth, in the form of calcium phosphate and citrate. Quantitatively, bones contain approximately one kilogram of calcium.


Calcium deficiency can generate a series of conditions characterized by specific symptoms, including spasmophilia. Find out what the role of this mineral is, how it manifests itself and what health problems a lack of calcium can cause, but also how this can be avoided with a healthy diet and the right supplements, administered on the doctor's recommendation.


Calcium citrate, also known as tricalcium citrate, is a calcium salt that is very easily absorbed by the body and can have various health benefits. Calcium supplements are usually found in the form of calcium citrate or calcium carbonate.


For people who suffer from certain conditions, such as gastroesophageal reflux or digestive problems, calcium citrate is often preferred because it is better tolerated by the body and does not require stomach acid for absorption. Calcium citrate is safe for most people to consume as long as it is not consumed in excess. Therefore, a consumption of more than 2500 mg per day is not recommended.






 

Why do we need Calcium Citrate?

Calcium has an important role for the whole body. Although its weight is greater in bones and teeth, it is found in several organs and systems in the body and contributes to their proper functioning:

• It contributes to the regulation of the heartbeat and, implicitly, has an important role in the optimal functioning of the myocardium. It also regulates blood pressure.
• Thanks to calcium, the muscles respond to the commands given by the nerves.
• It has an important role in blood coagulation, intervening in several different stages of this process.
• It is a mineral responsible for activating some enzymes.
• It is the one that determines the cellular response as a result of hormonal changes.
• Permeable cell membranes to allow the passage of ions; thus, it can be said about calcium that it helps the plasmalemma (cell membranes) to fulfill its main role, that of transporting substances. Monosaccharides, nucleotides and amino acids are among the substances transported with the help of calcium. This means that this mineral has a notable contribution in the absorption of nutrients in the body and in their transport to the organs.
• It directly influences the increase or decrease in the level of some hormones, such as the thyroid ones, being thus also responsible for the normal functioning of the endocrine system.
• Calcium can significantly influence the health of nails, skin and hair, as well as their appearance.
• It also has an important role in strengthening the immune system, making the body strong against infections and able to heal.
• It is essential for the health of teeth and bones, having an important supporting role for the skeletal structure.
• Brain development and brain activity are dependent on calcium. The mineral also helps the central nervous system to function optimally.
• According to research from the last 20-30 years, calcium also plays an important role in reducing the risk of several types of cancer, including colon, rectal and prostate cancer.
