What about Vitamin D? How important is it for maintenance to our body?

Vitamin D is necessary to maintain bone density. However, the body manufactures this vitamin as a result of exposure to sunlight and it is also available in vitamin-enriched milk products. Too much vitamin D is harmful, as it is fat-soluble vitamin, so don't take supplements with high vitamin D content without first consulting your doctor. However, you can safely take 400 units (the recommended daily allowance) in a multivitamin. Just 10 minutes of outdoor relaxation or recreational activities each day will give your bodies the vitamin D that they need.

How does CALCIUM+ benefit the bones and joints ?

CALCIUM+ contains glucosamine and chondroitin, which are produced naturally in the body and help to maintain the structure and function of the cartilage in the joints of the body, supporting joint health and mobility. Glucosamine assists in maintaining the elasticity and integrity of the connective tissue, and many clinical trials have shown us the benefits of glucosamine in assisting in the management of arthritis and aiding in the relief of joint pain, tenderness, stiffness and inflammation and increasing joint mobility associated with arthritis.

CALCIUM+ also contains calcium and magnesium. Over 99% of the calcium in the body is found in the bones, where is plays a vital role in the formation and maintenance of strong, healthy bones. Adequate dietary calcium in our youth and throughout life is required to maximise bone, and a diet deficient in calcium can lead to osteoporosis later in life. Magnesium plays a vital role in calcium metabolism.

Why is vitamin C added to the CALCIUM+ ?

Vitamin C assists in maintaining the connective tissue in the body as it is involved in the synthesis of elastin, proteoglycans, bone matrix and fibroiconectin and is necessary for the manufacture of collagen, a fibrous element in the cartilage, tendons and teeth. Vitamin C also boosts the immune system by enhancing the activity of the white blood cells and antibody response and assists in protecting the body from the damaging effects of free radicals. Due to its role in supporting immune mechanisms, vitamin C may help to reduce the severity of symptoms and duration of colds and assist in the management of upper respiratory tract infections.
