Calcium citrate containing 300mg calcium - 90 tablets

In our body is approximately one kilogram of calcium. 99% is bound in the skeleton

The remaining 1% is divided as follows: 0.5% is found as calcium ions in the blood serum, the other 0.5% is bound to proteins.
Calcium is the main component of our bones with 65% and is responsible for both the construction of the bones and their structure. Calcium is therefore of great importance for the stability of our bone structure.

Calcium for strong bones

Bone structure is built up and broken down throughout life, which is why adequate calcium intake must always be ensured, especially during growth. Up to the age of 35 years, the build-up processes predominate and the bone mass increases constantly. After that, the degradation processes predominate and the bone mass normally decreases by about 1.5% per year. Even during this time, an adequate calcium intake of at least 1000mg daily (source: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ernährung e.V.) is essential.

Calcium for the heart

In addition to building bones, teeth and the palate, calcium prevents the storage of lead and helps in the regulation of heart rhythm. In this context, it also promotes a healthy cardiovascular system. In addition, it has importance for the transport of nerve impulses and the cholesterol level. The mineral ensures the permeability of cell membranes and stabilizes them by combining with phospholipids. Calcium is also a component of fat-splitting enzymes and the structure of DNA and RNA. The insulin secretion from pancreatic B cells is regulated by calcium. In addition, calcium plays an important role in the activation of the blood clotting system, where it forms complexes with phospholipids and clotting factors.

In addition, calcium can support a balanced acid-base balance and counteract the drop in pH. This prevents demineralization of the teeth and promotes remineralization.

Calcium to support a normal body weight

In the fight against excess pounds, calcium seems to be helpful. Various scientific studies have found evidence that calcium plays a role in regulating body weight. Increased consumption of calcium-containing foods has been associated with lower body weight, weight loss, and lower body fat. The reason for this is that calcium in the intestine reduces fat absorption by binding dietary fat and excreting it undigested.

Other studies have concluded that higher calcium intake as part of a calorie-restricted diet leads to greater weight loss than low calcium intake.
In addition, it has been scientifically proven that the development of obesity is promoted by an undersupply of calcium, since this undersupply stimulates fat synthesis. It is also debated whether calcium plays a role in appetite regulation.

Calcium citrate for good absorption in the body

Calcium in the form of calcium citrate can be absorbed and utilized very well by the body because of the organic compound.
Studies show that the absorption of calcium as calcium citrate is significantly better than the absorption of calcium from inorganic calcium carbonate.

Unlike carbonates, which neutralize excess stomach acid, citrates are utilized in normal metabolism. If excess acid is present, this connects due to the different charges with the citrate and citric acid is formed, which is burned in the metabolism with the emergence of energy.
