Calcium is important to people of all genders and ages. Calcium and vitamin D is an essential nutrient that helps build and maintain healthy bones and teeth. Most notably, as part of a healthy diet, adequate calcium throughout life may reduce the risk of osteoporosis, a disease that’s characterized by a decrease in bone mass and an increase in bone fractures. Calcium also plays a role in muscle contraction, blood clotting and nerve function. Supracal D provides combination of calcium and vitamin D.
Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. Vitamin D is either derived from the diet or produced by skin exposure to sunshine, which can vary throughout the year. So in addition to getting enough calcium in your diet through food or supplements, you must be sure to get enough vitamin D and magnesium as well, to help calcium absorption.
