Calcium – Important for Bones and Teeth

Calcium is one of the most abundant minerals in the human body.

In the body of an adult, there is approximately 1 to 1.2 kg of calcium. About 99% of this is stored in the bones and teeth.

Calcium is essential for skeletal stability and is required for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.

In addition, it plays an important role in muscle contraction, signal transmission between nerve cells, and various metabolic processes.

Calcium Citrate – Organically Bound Calcium

Calcium citrate is a compound of calcium and citric acid.

This organic calcium compound can be well absorbed regardless of stomach acid and is therefore also suitable for people with reduced stomach acid production.

Calcium citrate can be taken either with meals or independently of them.

Calcium Citrate or Calcium Carbonate?

Calcium is available in various compounds. Among the best known are calcium citrate and calcium carbonate.

• Calcium citrate: Organically bound calcium compound with good absorption even with low stomach acid production.

• Calcium carbonate: Contains a higher proportion of elemental calcium and is preferably taken with a meal.

Both calcium compounds can contribute to the calcium supply. The choice depends on other factors, including individual tolerability and dietary habits.

Calcium Requirements and Diet

According to the D-A-CH reference values, the daily calcium requirement for adults is approximately 1000 mg.

Growing adolescents require slightly more calcium due to bone development.

Good calcium sources include dairy products, calcium-rich mineral water, certain types of vegetables, and calcium-enriched plant-based foods.

In the case of lactose intolerance or a dairy-free diet, a supplementary calcium intake may be useful if the requirement is not sufficiently met through diet.

Important Information

Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Keep out of reach of small children and store in a cool, dry place.

Important: In the case of kidney disease, elevated blood calcium levels, or a tendency to develop calcium-containing kidney stones, the additional intake of calcium should be discussed with a doctor.

Calcium may interfere with the absorption of certain medications, especially thyroid hormones, bisphosphonates, and some antibiotics. Appropriate intervals between doses should be observed.

When taking vitamin D and other calcium supplements simultaneously, the total calcium intake should be considered.
