Calcium Chelate + D3 & K2, 90 capsules

Product detailed description

Is your body lacking calcium? Replenish this mineral effectively. The powerful triple combination of calcium in chelated form together with vitamins D3 and K2 works perfectly synergistically. Calcium is needed to maintain the normal condition of bones and teeth, as well as the proper functioning of muscles, nerves, and blood clotting. 

If you want to boost your health with calcium, you definitely won't go wrong if you supplement it together with "D" and "K". These vitamins support the absorption of calcium, so your body really gets the most out of its beneficial effects.

WHY ARE THEY ESSENTIAL FOR US?

Calcium

Calcium is a mineral that performs a variety of functions in our body. Everyone probably knows that calcium is important for bones and teeth and that it ensures their hardness and strength. We can think of bones as a storehouse of calcium - if we do not get enough calcium from our diet, the body will start to release it from the bones. Therefore, it is a good idea to ensure that you have a sufficient intake of foods rich in calcium in your diet.

This mineral is essential for proper growth, especially in children; in adults, it contributes preventively to maintaining bone density; in seniors, it is very important due to reduced calcium absorption, which naturally occurs with age. Sufficient calcium is also very important for women during pregnancy, breastfeeding and after menopause. 

Calcium deficiency is usually manifested by: 

• muscle or bone pain (especially in the back and neck)
• changes in bones
• tingling of the limbs
• involuntary jerking movements (tics) 
• muscle cramps
• brittle hair and nails
• increased tooth decay
• nervousness and depressive states
  
  

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is one of the important fat-soluble vitamins. On sunny days, our body can produce sufficient amounts of it on its own, while in winter, saturating the body with vitamin D can be problematic. And this can become a source of many health complications. 

Why vitamin D3? There are several types of vitamin D. The most biologically effective are vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is found in most cases in foods of animal origin, while vitamin D2 is typically found in plant sources. Numerous studies have shown that vitamin D3 is about a third more effective than vitamin D2. 

The body can synthesize vitamin D3 in the skin under the influence of UVB radiation. We can regulate this process ourselves. Therefore, there is no risk of the body overdosing on it during prolonged exposure to the sun. To create the necessary daily intake of vitamin D in the skin, it is recommended to spend 15–30 minutes in the sun. However, due to modern lifestyles, most of the population is vitamin D deficient.

Vitamin K

Vitamin K is also a fat-soluble vitamin. Vitamin K2 is essential, for example, for bone health and the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system. It acts as a protective and preventive factor for the good condition of our body until old age.

WHY TAKE CALCIUM WITH VITAMINS D3 AND K2?

Vitamins D3 and K2 interact with calcium during its metabolism. Specifically, vitamin D is important for depositing calcium into bones. However, one more vitamin is needed for this, namely K2. If we take in enough D3 but not enough K2, there is a risk of increased calcium deposition in soft tissues and blood vessels, where we do not want it to be deposited, and conversely, there is a risk of insufficient calcium deposition in the bones, and thus a higher risk of osteoporosis. That's why we say that both vitamins act synergistically and together with calcium they form an ideal combination. 

WHO IS THIS DIETARY SUPPLEMENT SUITABLE FOR? 

• for children in the phase of rapid growth
• for pregnant women (especially in the 3^rd trimester)
• for women during menopause
• for seniors
• for vegans
• for people dealing with frequent bone fractures or bone thinning (osteoporosis)
• for people with lower physical activity
• for people on diets with limited intake of calcium-containing foods
• for people with eating disorders
• for people suffering from diseases that affect the ability to absorb calcium from the digestive tract

WHY CHOOSE THE CHELATE FORM OF MINERALS?

Most common vitamin and mineral supplements in powder or tablet form are not sufficiently absorbed by our body. During transport, they are broken down in the digestive tract by enzymes and gastric juices. And so only a small percentage of the active substance reaches its destination. 

The chelated form of minerals significantly improves absorption. Minerals in this form are much more natural for the body and are better absorbed than commonly sold inorganic forms of minerals. The body can benefit much more from the chelated form of minerals.

What is its specificity? 

A chelate represents the binding of one mineral to two amino acids (or organic acids). This special organic form of minerals appears in nature, for example in plant leaves. The absorption of amino acids is completely natural for the body, so the absorption of chelates also occurs without any problems. In addition, chelated minerals (unlike regular minerals) do not irritate the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines during digestion.  

Benefits of Chelated Minerals

• Higher usability and absorbability compared to conventional inorganic forms. 
• Does not irritate the stomach and intestinal mucosa like common minerals 
• No aftertaste, long shelf life and purity (no additives) 

Why prefer loose minerals in capsules?

Mineral dietary supplements are produced in bulk and liquid form. What are the advantages of powder-filled capsules over the more popular liquid form? 

• Powder capsules are easily portable, suitable for travel and convenient to use. The loose form of our minerals is just pure powder without additives. Of course, it does not contain any fillers, preservatives or inactive ingredients.  
• Powder packaged in a capsule lasts much longer. Unlike liquid supplements, which must be consumed quickly after opening, the powder form has a longer shelf life and is more stable.

FURTHER INFORMATION

How to use: 

• Take 1-2 capsules daily with plenty of water.
• in case of acute deficiency 3–4 capsules daily 

Contraindication:

Do not take at the same time as an iron supplement (calcium reduces iron absorption). We recommend a gap of at least 2 hours between them.

Interaction:

Oral administration of calcium reduces the absorption of some antibiotics (especially tetracyclines) and fat-soluble vitamins. When administering these products simultaneously, it is advisable to maintain a three-hour interval between their use.
