Extended Info
Calcium is the most plentiful mineral in the human body. 99% of the body's supply of Calcium is found in the bones and teeth. Dietary intake of Calcium is important for strong, healthy bones as well as for muscle contraction and relaxation; the nervous system; activation of a number of enzymes needed to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for energy and to break down protein molecules; blood clotting and releasing a number of hormones into the body's systems and, working together with Magnesium, it maintains cardiovascular health. Calcium's rate of absorption is increased by vitamin D either from dietary intake or from the sun's action on the skin.

Cautions

Important. Thyroxine users - please read carefully Recent research suggests that calcium supplementation may cause the medicine thyroxine (widely prescribed to treat an underactive thyroid) to be less effective and may slow the absorption of thyroxine into the bloodstream and thus lower effectiveness. Individuals are advised that taking calcium and thyroxine 6 to 12 hours apart may prevent interference. In every event, we would advise all individuals to inform their doctor of all supplements they are taking in conjunction with thyroxine.
