What is it?
Solgar Calcium Complex Ingredients: 4 tablets contain: Vitamin D3 25mcg (1000 IU) (Cholecalciferol) Vitamin K2 65mcg (from enzymatically processed soybean meal, Menaquinone-7) Calcium 1,000mg (Calcium Dimalate, Glycinate (amino acid chelate form), and Citrate) Magnesium 500mg (Magnesium Dimalate, Glycinate (amino acid chelate form), Citrate, Oxide) Zinc 5mg (Zinc Glycinate, amino acid chelate form) Copper 0.5mg (Copper Glycinate, amino acid chelate form) Manganese 2mg (Manganese Glycinate, amino acid chelate form) Sodium 30mg Boron 2mg (Boron Citrate) In "Calcium Complex," minerals are presented in chelated form. Glycinate is one of the most prominent with biological activity. It is an amino acid chelate. Glycinate has very high bioavailability. It is instantly and perfectly absorbed by the body and does not cause gastrointestinal irritation. Additional Ingredients: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Vegetable Cellulose, Vegetable Stearic Acid, Silicon Dioxide, Vegetable Magnesium Stearate, Vegetable Glycerin. Contains Soy and Milk. Does not contain: Starch, Gluten, Yeast, Sugar, Artificial Flavors, Sweeteners, Preservatives, and Coloring Agents. Calcium Almost 99% of calcium in the body is concentrated in bones and teeth. Together with D3, it ensures the maintenance of bone health at any age. Calcium is responsible for bone mineralization and hormone production, which helps maintain normal levels of calcium and phosphorus in bones and blood. Calcium normalizes energy metabolism and neurotransmission, and is also a regulatory component of blood clotting. Calcium stimulates the release of calcitonin, which ensures the transport of calcium from the blood to damaged bone tissue. Calcium, along with D3, helps maintain mineral balance in women during postmenopause and reduces the risk of osteoporosis development. Calcium deficiency causes muscle spasms, which manifest as cramps in the lower extremities. Prolonged deficiency leads to rickets and osteomalacia. Vitamin D3 Vitamin D3 ensures the absorption and assimilation of calcium in the body. Its deficiency leads to reduced bone mineralization (osteoporosis) and bone fractures. D3 ensures the normal functioning of the neuromuscular and immune systems, and increases the body's resistance to infections and viruses. It increases serotonin levels in the body. Calcium and Vitamin D3 prevent hypersecretion of parathyroid hormone and bone resorption (calcium leaching from bones). Vitamin K2 (Menaquinone-7) Taking Vitamin D3 may increase calcium deposition in blood vessels, leading to sclerosis and calcification of the vascular wall. Recent studies have revealed the role of Vitamin K2 in calcium metabolism. It activates the protein osteocalcin, which ensures the transport of calcium from blood vessels to bone tissue. Vitamin K2 inhibits arterial calcification by carboxylating the GLA protein (Matrix Gla Protein). It improves vascular elasticity. Magnesium - plays a clearly defined role in calcium metabolism. Calcium absorption in the body is carried out by parathyroid hormone, produced by the parathyroid gland; the presence of a normal magnesium level is crucial for this process. Therefore, magnesium deficiency leads to reduced calcium absorption. Zinc - plays an important role in cell division, DNA, RNA, and collagen synthesis. It is essential for unimpeded body growth and the complete development of the fetus during pregnancy. Zinc and magnesium are essential cofactors for bone cell regeneration. Copper - participates in the construction of essential connective tissue proteins, collagen and elastin, which form the bone and cartilage matrix. Manganese - normalizes the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans, which are essential for the formation of bone and cartilage tissue. It also participates in energy production, protein, and fat metabolism. Boron - regulates the activity of parathyroid hormones, which in turn act on the metabolism of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and vitamin D. Sodium - is important for maintaining electrolyte balance and the normal functioning of neurons and muscle cells. Dosage: Take 4 tablets daily, with meals. Storage: Store at room temperature, out of reach of children.
