$12.25 $14.25

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, best known for its role in the formation of strong, healthy bones and strong teeth. An important nutrient for growing children and adolescents, calcium helps establish adequate bone mass to will maintain strong bones. But inadequate calcium consumption later in life, however, increases the risk of osteoporosis (bone-thinning).

Osteoporosis strikes both men and women, though it is a particular concern for post-menopausal women. Regular calcium supplementation along with weight-bearing exercise can help prevent osteoporosis to reduce the risk of fractures later in life.

Jamieson Super Calcium 600 mg with Vitamin D 400 IU provides high-potency elemental calcium. Meet your daily calcium requirements with only two Super Calcium tablets. The addition of 400 IU of premium Vitamin D3 ensures your body can put this vital mineral to use.

Restrictions

Drug Interactions: Calcium and/or Vitamin D can interfere with tetracycline antibiotics, anticoagulants, and calcium channel blockers. Consult your physician before use if you are taking any thiazide diuretics, as these can cause extremely high (potentially toxic) levels of calcium in the body.

Nutrient Depletions: Calcium can impair the absorption of the mineral iron. Foods high in phosphorus (animal protein and soft drinks) promote urinary loss of calcium. High consumption of caffeine, and excess dietary fat and fibre can inhibit calcium absorption.

Supportive Interactions: Vitamin D enhances calcium absorption. Garlic supplements along with calcium may help reduce high blood pressure.

Warnings and Precautions: None known when taken as directed.

Toxicity, Adverse Warnings and Side Effects: Calcium carbonate may cause symptoms of gas, bloating, or constipation. Do not exceed recommended dosage. Excess calcium can contribute to the development of kidneys stones, and may cause calcium deposits in the body.
