Principium Calcio K-D Vegetale is for you if:
you are coping with menopausal disorders, caring for children and the elderly who need to strengthen bones and teeth, or want to promote recovery after a fracture.
The mineral that protects bones and teeth
As we age, we absorb less and less Calcium: this mineral is the most abundant in our bodies and 99% is concentrated in our bones.
Calcium, in fact, is the most important micronutrient for our bones; it also contributes to some vital functions of the body.
We only take in this mineral through food, particularly dairy products, oily fish, nuts, legumes and green leafy vegetables, but the diet is not always enough to meet our entire Calcium requirements.
Calcium content in bones goes through three phases: it is at its highest around the age of 30, then gradually begins to decline.
- Growth phase: from birth to age 20, the bones grow and strengthen, reaching their final shape.
- Consolidation phase: bone mass reaches its peak and lasts 25 years in women and 30 in men, varying according to genetic characteristics and sporting aptitude.
- Resorption phase: begins around age 60 in men and with menopause for women. Bone mass decreases physiologically, and bones become more fragile and at risk of fracture.
Taking the right Calcium intake and doing adequate physical activity during the first two phases is therefore essential to protect the skeleton and better support it in the last phase.
Reduced absorption or true calcium deficiency can also occur in these cases:
- Intake of foods rich in oxalates (such as spinach, tomatoes, tea and coffee) along with foods that contain Calcium;
- In case of vegan diet or lactose intolerance;
- In the elderly and menopausal women. These life stages are characterized by a physiological decrease in bone mass. The presence, in the product, of Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 promotes both the absorption and fixation of Calcium in bones and teeth.
Calcium supplements enriched with these Vitamins, such as Principium Calcio K-D Vegetale, thus promote both its absorption and fixation in the bones and teeth.
Calcium and Vitamins D3 and K2 for better absorption
Calcio K-D Vegetale is a dietary supplement of Calcium from Lithothamnion calcareum seaweed, a red seaweed rich in Calcium and other micronutrients.
Because of its combination with Vitamin D3 from Lichen and MenaQ7® (a patented form of Vitamin K2), this Principium supplement helps maintain bone health and improves the absorption of Calcium and Phosphorus.
Principium Calcio K-D Vegetale is particularly useful for women, who are more likely to experience calcium deficiencies due to hormonal activity, during the menopausal period, or during pregnancy and lactation.
