Calcium

Calcium is an essential mineral that supports a number of important functions in the body. It plays a key role in maintaining strong bones and teeth , supports normal muscle function, and contributes to healthy blood clotting. While calcium is naturally present in a variety of foods, particularly dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yoghurt, some people may struggle to reach the recommended daily amount through diet alone.

Calcium supplements can help you top up your intake when needed, especially if you have increased nutritional requirements or limited dietary sources. They are available in a range of strengths and formats, making it easier to find an option that fits your lifestyle.

However, supplements should not replace a varied, balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle. Always read the label carefully to ensure a product is right for you, and speak to your pharmacist for personalised advice if you’re unsure which calcium supplement best meets your needs.
