Product Fact Sheet

Calcium Plus

VitaHealth Calcium Plus is a synergetic blend of calcium with essential minerals which help maintain healthy bones, teeth and soft tissues.

Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin, added to promote calcium absorption in the gut, maintain adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentrations to enable normal mineralisation of bone. Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become brittle or misshapen.

Combination of calcium with zinc, copper and manganese provide extra care for the body as they are important for bone and cartilage development, tissue repair and help lessen spinal bone loss. In addition, minerals aid in supporting healthy nails, hair, muscle movement, nervous system and blood coagulation.

Each tablet contains:

Calcium (as calcium carbonate)	600mg
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)	200IU
Magnesium	60mg
Zinc	9mg
Manganese	1mg
Copper	500mcg

Benefits

Calcium (Calcium carbonate)

Develops strong bone, teeth and nails
Facilitates muscle contraction and relaxation, thereby enabling the heart and blood vessels to perform their function effectively
Aids in transmission of messages to cells in the body
Supports enzymes and hormones metabolism
Strengthens backbone and alleviates the risks of back pain

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)

Aids in formation and strengthening of teeth and bones
Facilitates absorption and utilisation of calcium (without magnesium, high doses of calcium will lead to calcification of soft tissues, kidney stone formation and decreased bone strength)
Helps relax muscles and keep them flexible and healthy

Magnesium (magnesium oxide)

Maintains a healthy immune system
Promotes wound healing
Supports normal growth and development
Alleviates stress and relieves stiff muscles

Zinc (zinc oxide)

Enhances the absorption of calcium in the body
Promotes muscle health including both skeletal and heart muscle
Helps prevent the bladder, breast, colon, ovarian, prostate and rectal cancer

Manganese (manganese sulfate)

Helps the body to utilise iron
Maintains the health of the bones and connective tissues
Keeps thyroid gland functioning normally
Preserves the myelin sheath that surrounds and protects the nerves

Copper (cupric sulfate)

Promotes absorption of calcium
Supports normal functioning of the central nervous system and connective tissues

Target Customers

Active and busy adults
Individuals who consume inadequate amounts of dairy products
Postmenopausal women
Individuals who regularly drink soda, coffee, or tea (increased excretion of calcium)
Individuals who have insufficient levels of vitamin D (always stay indoors and have limited sun exposure)
