Calcium

The mineral calcium is a basic building block of our bones and teeth. Significant amounts of the micronutrient are also required daily for the function of digestive enzymes, cell division and other metabolic processes. A diet rich in calcium is therefore not only important during the growth phase. It also ensures that bones and teeth remain stable and healthy into old age. The requirement is individual and depends on many factors such as age, height, weight, exercise, stress, medication, alcohol and nicotine abuse.

If the daily intake from nutrition is not sufficient, the body utilises the reserves stored in the skeleton - at the expense of stability. Foods containing calcium are mainly cheese, milk and dairy products as well as some types of fish, cabbage, nuts and seeds. Depending on the type of diet and personal requirements, an additional intake of a high-quality calcium product that is effectively utilised by the body can be useful.

Calcium from hypo-A consists of pure calcium carbonate and is free from dyes, flavourings and harmful manufacturing substances. Carbonates dissolve in the stomach, in contrast to citrates, which can only be absorbed in the small intestine. The lactose- and gluten-free capsules are also suitable for vegans and are therefore an optimal supplement if the intake through the diet is not optimally guaranteed. The ideal basis for a healthy and active life - at any age.
