High potency calcium Supplement
More than 99% of total body calcium is stored in the bones and teeth where it functions to support their structure. Calcium is needed for muscle contraction, blood vessel contraction and expansion, the secretion of hormones and enzymes, and sending messages through the nervous system
In pregnancy
Calcium supplementation during pregnancy is a safe and relatively economical means of reducing the risk of pre-eclampsia in women at increased risk, and women from communities with low dietary calcium. Women were also less likely to die or have serious problems due to pre-eclampsia on calcium supplement.
In Hypertension
Calcium supplementation is suggested to lower blood pressure by different mechanisms. It may directly inhibit renal sodium re -absorption . It may lower the activity of the renin-angiotensin system . It may inhibit vascular smooth muscle cell constriction via suppression of PTH secretion and/or calcitriol synthesis .
In Osteoporosis
Osteoporotic men/women are more prone to fractures, since the bones are brittle and have the tendency to break with minor shocks. Supplementation of Calcium along with Vitamin D reduces the incidences of fractures in Osteoporotic patients. Oral Vitamin D reduces the incidences of osteoporotic fractures only when Calcium supplementation is added.
