Green Made - Maxi Cal-D 60 Capsules
Calcium is an essential mineral that plays a role in the proper functioning of the heart, muscles and nerves, with its biggest reserve being the bones. Bones are constantly changing; new bone is formed while old bone gets broken down. Up until the age of 30, bone formation is slightly more than bone breakdown. After that, bone density begins to decrease as bone breakdown becomes slightly more than bone formation. Therefore, it is essential to take certain measures to protect and maintain our bones as we age, one of which is ensuring adequate daily intake of calcium, which is essential for bone formation and maintenance. When the body is deficient in calcium, it uses the calcium found in the skeletal system, which renders the bones weak and more prone to fractures. Since calcium is not naturally produced by the body, the only way to ensure the needed intake is through our diets and/or calcium supplements. Vitamin D, on the other hand, is equally essential for bone maintenance, since it helps the body effectively absorb and properly utilize calcium. Insufficient vitamin D leads to insufficient calcium absorption, which in turn leads to the body using calcium found in the skeleton, leading to weakened bones. Maxi-Cal D combines calcium with vitamin D to ensure adequate daily calcium intake and absorption.
