CALCIUM PLUS

Calcium Plus is the exclusive formulation by Optima Naturals for a correct integration of Calcium supported by a balanced presence of vitamins D3 and K. This macro-mineral is the most abundant in our system and it plays a key role in our body. 99% of it is in the bone tissue and teeth and it is vital for the nervous and muscular system as it regulates their contraction and excitability. Its presence is also required for cardiac function, blood coagulation, cell membrane permeability and functioning of some hormones.

Vitamin D3 is synthetized at skin level after sunlight exposure and its synthesis may reduce in winter. It favours the regular absorption/use of calcium and phosphorous and keeps calcium at regular levels in blood, so it is functional to keep bones and teeth healthy.

Vitamin K works as carboxylase coenzyme for carboxylation of glutamic acid residuals and forms the carboxyglutamic acid amino acid (Gla). This activates some proteins among which osteocalcin and the matrix Gla protein at bone level.
