Product information
Calcium as a nutrient is most commonly associated with the formation and metabolism of bone. Over 99 percent of total body Calcium is found as Calcium Hydroxyapatite in bones and teeth, where it provides hard tissue with its strength.
Calcium present in circulatory system, extracellular fluid, muscle, and other tissues. It is critical for mediating vascular contraction and vasodilatation, muscle function, nerve transmission, intracellular signalling and hormonal secretion. Bone tissue serves as a reservoir for and source of Calcium for these critical metabolic needs through the process of bone remodelling (1).
Calcium is crucial in growing new bone and maintaining bone strength. Calcium supplements are standard for treating and preventing osteoporosis weak and easily broken bones and its precursor, osteopenia (2).
Daily Calcium intake should be at least 1000-1200 mg/day per individual to treat and prevent osteoporosis (3), whereas Vitamin D is essential for strong bones, because it helps the body to use Calcium from the diet. Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with rickets, a disease in which the bone tissue does not properly mineralize, leading to soft bones and skeletal deformities (4).
Why Life On Chewable Calci-Life 600?
Life On Chewable Calci-Life 600 with refreshing orange flavour provides you the purest source of Calcium and Vitamin D3, which are better absorbed when taken orally. The combination of Calcium & Vitamin D3 is used in the better absorption of Calcium providing through supplements.
Benefits of Chewable Calci-Life 600
Calcium contributes to functions like blood clotting, muscle function and neurotransmission, energy yielding metabolism and digestive enzymes. Plays crucial role in regulation of cell division and differentiation and maintenance of bones and teeth (5).
Calcium and Vitamin D help to reduce the loss of bone mineral in post-menopausal women. Low bone mineral density is a risk factor for osteoporotic bone fractures. The claim may be used only for food supplements which provide at least 400 mg of Calcium and 15 μg of Vitamin D per daily portion (5).
Calcium and Vitamin D are needed for normal growth and development of bone in children (5).
Calcium plays a role in mediating the constriction (vasoconstriction) and relaxation of blood vessels (vasodilation), nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction and the secretion of hormones like insulin (6).
Vitamin D3 helps in maintaining normal blood Calcium levels and promotes in absorption and utilization of Calcium and Phosphorus and enhances the better functioning of the immune system (7).
Vitamin D is used for preventing and treating rickets, a disease that is caused by not having enough Vitamin D. It also used for treating weak bones (osteoporosis), bone pain (osteomalacia), bone loss (hyperparathyroidism) (8).
