Calcium

Strong bones, healthy teeth

Chela-Calcium D3® is a dietary supplement containing the most assimilable form of calcium (Albical™ amino acid chelate) and vitamin D3 – two most important nutrition elements responsible for keeping the structure of bones and teeth strong and healthy .

For whom can calcium deficiency be dangerous?

Proper ingestion of this element is particularly important for menopausal women since as a result of reduced synthesis of female hormones bone mass loss progresses. Also in children and teenagers in the growth period and in people under 35, too low calcium supply can limit appropriate development of osseous tissue and in the future it can accelerate the manifestation of the features of osteoporosis. In middle-aged and elderly people insufficient provision of calcium can considerably intensify the skeleton destruction process. Calcium is also a very important mineral accelerating the recovery process after bone injuries.

Why is calcium recommended to be taken together with vitamin D3?

Vitamin D3 is one of the most important components regulating calcium metabolism. Its activity involves enhancing calcium absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and reducing release of the hormone that intensifies osseous tissue resorption and lowers collagen synthesis, thus resulting in bone mass reduction. Vitamin D3 deficiencies are very dangerous. In children and infants they cause rickets-related changes. In pregnant and breastfeeding women they can lead to bone decalcification and softening and in elderly people – to increased demineralisation, deformation and excessive porosity and fragility of skeleton.

How is Chela-Calcium D3® different from other calcium supplements?

The calcium contained in Chela-Calcium D3® is absorbed and used by your body many times better than traditional calcium preparations (e.g. calcium carbonate). This is mostly an effect of a unique mineral chelating technology developed by the Albion Laboratories Institute®. Due to the chelation process, not only does it improve the bioavailability of calcium but it also reduces the risk of various adverse reactions between this element and other minerals (antagonism) or drugs used. Proper calcium absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and its distribution in the body is ensured by the innovative form of calcium as well as the presence of vitamin D3.
