Valupak Calcium with Vitamin D 400mg Calcium is a major mineral that is essential for growth, health & longevity. Combined with vitamin D, calcium is vital in maintaining strong, healthy bones, teeth & nails. It has been found that the correct daily intake of calcium & vitamin D can raise the body's resistance to cancer, bacteria & viruses, whilst a lack of calcium in the diet can lead to degenerative conditions such as osteoporosis (also known as brittle bone disease), lower back pain, nervousness, tooth decay & stunted growth. Vitamin D works by increasing the uptake of calcium from the intestine & so helps protect the body against calcium deficiency. The body loses calcium more easily as we grow older & if there is not enough for body functions, calcium will be withdrawn from the skeleton, bones are weakened & can break more easily. Research has shown that the incidence of hip fractures was reduced for elderly people taking calcium & vitamin D3 on a regular basis. These tablets are an easy way to supplement your daily intake & ensure that your body gets all the calcium & vitamin D it needs. Valupak Calcium with Vitamin D is suitable for vegetarians.
