Product Information
Blackmores Bio Calcium is a source of calcium for the prevention and treatment of calcium deficiencies. It may assist in the prevention and/or treatment of osteoporosis.
Features and benefits
* Chewable tablets with natural peppermint flavour.
* Dairy-free formula.
* Contains vitamin D3 to facilitate uptake by the body.
How it works
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, and approximately 99% of the body's calcium exists in the bones. The major function of calcium is building and maintaining bones and teeth.
Calcium is also involved in various metabolic roles such as nerve transmission, contraction of muscles and the regulation of heart muscle function.
Vitamin D is essential for the absorption and utilization of calcium. Deficiency of vitamin D results in lack of bone strength and density, and joint pain.
Women's calcium requirements are increased after menopause as levels of oestrogen decline resulting in decreased calcium absorption.
Dosage
Adults - Take 2 to 3 tablets a day with meals, or as professionally prescribed.
Children 6-12 years - Take 1 tablet a day or as professionally prescribed.
Children (under 6 years) - Only as professionally prescribed.

The Australian RDI for calcium is 800mg to 1000mg for women over 18 years and 1100mg to 1200mg (4 tablets daily) for women who are pregnant or lactating.
