Calcium Tablets & Supplements

Calcium Tablets & Supplements

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body. It is needed for the normal development and maintenance of the skeleton as well as for the proper functioning of neuromuscular and cardiac functions. Teeth and bones store this mineral for structure and strength. Without enough calcium in your diet, or if you can't absorb it properly, your body takes it from your bones. Over time, this may cause loss of bone density and lead to osteoporosis. Dietary supplements can help make up for the lack of this macronutrient. At Mr Vitamins, you can find a range of calcium tablets from top healthcare brands at competitive prices

The benefits of calcium on the body 

Calcium is an important macronutrient that is involved in key physiological and biochemical processes in cells. The daily intake of this mineral ensures the normal functioning of: 

  • Bones, teeth and cartilage. Calcium is the main building material of these structures. It contributes to their formation in the womb: during pregnancy, women require more calcium because embryos get most of this mineral from mothers. At a younger age, this mineral is essential for bone and tooth development. After 30-40 years, it constantly supports the renewal of bone tissue. 
  • Heart and muscles. Calcium regulates heart rate and blood pressure. Thanks to this macronutrient, the muscles contract correctly. 
  • Nervous system. The mineral nourishes nerve cells and helps conduct impulses. 
  • Internal metabolic processes. The endocrine system uses calcium to produce enzymes and hormones and maintain overall health. For example, it helps to reduce cholesterol. 

Calcium tablets for deficiency treatment 

According to studies, only 9% of women and 6% of men get the right amount of calcium daily. In addition, bone breakdown exceeds formation during ageing, leading to bone density loss which increases osteoporosis risk. Adequate vitamin and mineral supplementation, as well as regular exercise, can play a preventative role. 

You are most at risk of calcium deficiency and osteoporosis if you: 

  • have a restrictive diet;
  • are vegetarian or vegan; 
  • don't get enough calcium in your diet;
  • have low vitamin D levels;
  • have certain medical conditions, such as coeliac or kidney disease;
  • take steroids for a long time;
  • eat a diet high in certain plant nutrients (phytates and oxalates);
  • consume a lot of caffeine or alcohol.

Osteoporosis causes your bones to become brittle, so they can easily break. A lot of people suffer from this condition in Australia, particularly those over the age of 60. 

Talk to your doctor if you experience fatigue, weakness, bruising, nail deterioration, or tooth decay - it could be the symptoms of calcium deficiency. If your diet fails to meet bone mineral requirements, calcium tablets may be advised. You can also consult one of our naturopaths online to find the right supplement for you. 

How to take Calcium tablets? 

Natural calcium supplements come in the form of tablets, powder, chewable tablets and liquid. The daily requirement for calcium is 1000 mg for adults. It may be necessary to change the dosage for the elderly, pregnant women and children, depending on their age. 

Your body also needs vitamin D to absorb calcium. Regardless of your daily dosage, low levels of vitamin D can impair your bone health. The best supplement will also contain magnesium, vitamin K and vitamin D to ensure proper mineral and nutrient absorption. 

Mr Vitamins offer a wide selection of high-quality calcium tablets for men, women and kids of different ages. You can shop online with fast shipping Australia-wide or visit one of our stores in New South Wales.
