Calcium citrate 500 mg, 60 capsules

Calcium Citrate – Support for Muscles, Nervous System, and Electrolyte Balance

Calcium is one of the key elements for maintaining the body's homeostasis and influences, among other things, the condition of the skeletal system, as well as the proper functioning of the heart, muscles and nerves. Calcium is the mineral most abundant in the human body, and every cell needs it to continue functioning. The citrate form is characterised by high bioavailability and safety for the digestive system.

Calcium, in combination with vitamin D3, slows bone loss - to which women in particular are prone as a result of hormonal changes during menopause. In young people and athletes, it strengthens bones and maintains their normal weight.

Mitochondria are important stores of calcium, as it participates in the polarity of the mitochondrial membrane. Changes in calcium levels regulate the ratio of ATP and ADP.

Calcium can reduce PMS symptoms such as cramps, headaches and muscle aches, bloating or fatigue. It is important in maintaining fertility and normal ovulation.

Caffeine or smoking may increase the excretion of calcium from the body, and a deficiency of vitamin D or magnesium may impair its absorption. Too high an intake of sodium or phosphorus, for example in fizzy drinks, can disrupt the body's calcium balance. 

A calcium deficiency may manifest itself through problems with blood clotting and blood pressure, muscle spasms, including a fluctuating heart rhythm, fatigue and irritability, and above all significantly increases the risk of fractures.
