Calcium

Approximately 99% of the body's calcium is stored in bones and teeth. The remaining amount supports tightly regulated functions in blood, muscles and nerves.

• Scientific identity: Calcium; body distribution: approximately 99% skeletal hydroxyapatite.
• How it works: Supplied as a compound: Calcium is never taken as a bare metal - each form differs in elemental content and in how much it depends on stomach acid. Absorbed in the small intestine: Uptake is active and vitamin D dependent at ordinary intakes, and passive at higher ones.
• Primary function: Adequate calcium intake helps maintain normal bone structure, muscle function, nerve transmission and blood clotting.
• What it supports: Calcium helps maintain the strong skeletal framework, coordinated muscle movement and steady nerve signalling you rely on every day.
• Important consideration: The elemental mineral amount is more meaningful than the weight of its source compound.

CARPEDIEM selected Calcium for a clearly defined role within a thoughtfully balanced formulation.

• Formulation purpose: Adequate calcium intake helps maintain normal bone structure, muscle function, nerve transmission and blood clotting.
• Used in: CARPEDIEM MultiTeen and CARPEDIEM Whole Family Wellness Pack.
• Works alongside: Calcium complements Vitamin D3 and Magnesium to support balanced daily mineral nutrition.
• Meaningful contribution: Calcium helps maintain the strong skeletal framework, coordinated muscle movement and steady nerve signalling you rely on every day. Contributes to nerve signalling that helps muscles respond to everyday demands.
• Quality and scientific context: The elemental mineral amount is more meaningful than the weight of its source compound. 2 ingredient-specific studies are included because the research reports a relevant benefit.
