Calcium is one of the most important minerals and is essential for building and maintaining healthy bones. Calcium is also essential for proper functioning of the brain, heart and muscles. Calcium plays an important role in lowering blood pressure, cholesterol, fat absorption, gum disease and insomnia. Women lose an average of 15% of their bone mass during menopause, therefore calcium supplementation is essential. Calcium glycinate is the most bioavailable and most soluble form of supplemental calcium. It is 180% better absorbed than calcium citrate and 21% better absorbed than calcium citrate-malate. Vitamin D3 is required for optimal absorption of calcium. Boron plays an important role in mineral metabolism, by preventing calcium loss and bone demineralisation.
General
Other Features
Contra-Indications: |
The use of Vitamin D3 together with the following products may result in adverse effects, and concomitant use should be avoided: Calcipotriene, digoxin, diltiazem, thiazide diuretics, verapamil and aluminium containing products in patients with renal impairment.
Biphosphonates: Calcium can decrease the absorption of biphosphonates. Doses of biphosphonates should be betaken at least 30-minutes before calcium, but preferably at a different time of the day.
Quinolone antibiotics: Calcium can form insoluble complexs with these antibiotics leading to reduced absorption. Patients should take these drugs at least two hours before or four to six hours after magnesium.
Tetracycline antibiotics: Magnesium and calcium can form insoluble complexs with these antibiotics leading to reduced absorption. Patients should take these drugs at least two hours before or four to six hours after magnesium.
Calcipotriene: When taken in combination with calcium it can increase the risk of hypercalcaemia.
Digoxin: Hypercalcaemia can increases the risk of fatal cardiac arrhythmias.
Diltiazem and verapamil: Hypercalcaemia reduces their effectiveness in atrial fibrillation.
Estrogens: Concomitant administration may increase estrogen levels.
Levothyroxine: Calcium reduces levothyroxine absorption and they should be taken at least four hours apart.
Sotalol: Calcium reduces sotalol absorption and the combination should be taken at least four to six hours apart.
Thiazides: Thiazides reduce calcium excretion by the kidneys. Taking high doses of calcium with thiazides increases the risk of milk-alkali syndrome.
