Calcium is an important factor in the prevention of osteoporosis and in the maintenance of healthy bones. Calcium is also required for proper muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, heart beat regulation, blood clotting, blood pressure and energy production in fact, all of these activities take priority over maintaining bone integrity. NutriChem's Calcium supplement combines the advantages of citrate and carbonate forms to maximize the absorption and volume of elemental calcium per dose. Those with a diet low in milk products (i.e. vegan or lactose-sensitive individuals), or diets high in sugar, salt, caffeine, carbonated drinks and white flour can benefit from taking calcium. Certain medications such as anti-inflammatory drugs can accelerate bone loss. Lactating, pregnant and breastfeeding women also have increased needs for this mineral.
