Is your body lacking calcium? Supplement this mineral effectively. The powerful triple combination of calcium in chelated form together with vitamins D3 and K2 works in perfect synergy. Calcium is needed to maintain normal bones and teeth, as well as proper muscle, nerve and blood clotting function.
If you want to strengthen your health with calcium, you will definitely not go wrong if you supplement it together with “D” and “K”. These vitamins promote calcium absorption and your body will really get the most out of the beneficial effects.
WHY THEY ARE ESSENTIAL FOR US
Calcium
Calciumis a mineral that serves a variety of functions in our bodies. Everyone probably knows that calcium is important for bones and teeth and that it ensures their hardness and strength. Bones can be thought of as a reservoir of calcium – if we don’t get enough calcium from our diet, the body starts to release it from the bones. Therefore, it is a good idea to ensure that we have a sufficient intake of calcium-rich foods in our diet.
Particularly in children, this mineral is indispensable for proper growth; in adults, it helps to maintain bone density as a preventive measure; in the elderly, it is very important because of the reduced absorption of calcium that occurs naturally with age. Calcium supplementation is also very important for women during pregnancy, lactation and after menopause.
Calcium deficiency is usually manifested by:
- muscle or bone pain (especially in the back and neck)
- changes in the bones
- tingling in the limbs
- involuntary jerky movements (tics)
- muscle cramps
- brittle hair and nails
- increased tooth decay
- nervousness and depressive states
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is an important fat-soluble vitamin. On sunny days, our bodies can make enough of it on their own, whereas in winter, vitamin D saturation can be problematic. And this can become a source of many health complications.
Why vitamin D3? There are several types of vitamin D. The most biologically effective are vitamins D2 and vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is found in most cases in the potassiumsources of animal origin, while vitamin D2 is typically found in plant sources. Numerous studies have shown that vitamin D3 is about one-third more effective than vitamin D2.
Vitamin D3 can be synthesised by the body in the skin under the influence of UVB radiation. We can regulate this process ourselves. Thus, there is no risk of overdosing the body with it when exposed to the sun for a long time. To create the necessary daily dose of vitamin D in the skin, it is recommended to stay in the sun between 15-30 minutes. However, due to contemporary lifestyles, the majority of the population is deficient in vitamin D.
Vitamin K
Vitamin K is also a fat-soluble vitamin. Vitamin K2 is essential, for example, for bone health and the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system. It acts as a protective and preventive factor for the good condition of our body until late in life.

WHY TAKE CALCIUM WITH VITAMINS D3 AND K2?
Vitamins D3 and K2 interact with calcium during its metabolism. Specifically, vitamin D is important for the deposition of calcium in the bones. However, another vitamin is needed for this, namely K2. If we take in enough D3 but not enough K2, there is a risk of increased calcium deposition in soft tissues and blood vessels where we do not want it to be deposited, and conversely, there is a risk of insufficient calcium deposition in the bones and thus a higher risk of osteoporosis. This is why we say that both vitamins work synergistically and together with calcium form an ideal combination.
WHO IS THIS DIETARY SUPPLEMENT SUITABLE FOR?
- For children in the rapid growth phase
- for pregnant women (especially in the 3rd trimester)
- for menopausal women
- for the elderly
- for vegans
- for people dealing with frequent bone fractures or thinning bones (osteoporosis)
- for people who are less physically active
- for people on calcium-restricted diets
- for people with eating disorders
- for people suffering from diseases that affect the ability to absorb calcium from the digestive tract
WHY CHOOSE THE CHELATED FORM OF THE MINERAL?
Most common vitamin and mineral supplements in powder or tablet form are not sufficiently absorbed by our bodies. They are broken down by enzymes and gastric juices in the digestive tract during transport. Thus, only a small percentage of the active substance actually reaches its destination.
The chelated form of the minerals significantly improves absorption. Minerals in this form are much more natural to the body and more easily absorbed than the commonly sold innatural forms of minerals. The body can take much more benefits from the chelated form of minerals.
What is its specificity?
Chelate represents the binding of one mineral to two amino acids (or natural acids). This special natural form of the mineral is found in nature, for example in the leaves of plants. For the body, the absorption of amino acids is completely natural, and so the absorption of chelates is completely smooth. In addition, chelated minerals (unlike ordinary minerals) do not irritate the stomach and intestinal lining during digestion.
Benefits of chelated minerals
- Higher availability and absorption compared to conventional innatural forms.
- Does not irritate the stomach and intestinal mucosa like conventional minerals
- No aftertaste, long shelf life and purity (no additives)
Why prefer bulk minerals in capsules?
Mineral dietary supplements come in bulk and liquid form. What are the advantages of powder-filled capsules over the more common liquid form?
- Powder-filled capsules are easily portable, convenient for travel and convenient to take. The bulk form of our minerals is just pure powder with no additives. It naturally contains no fillers, preservatives or inactive substances.
- The powder packed in a capsule lasts much longer. Unlike liquid supplements, which must be consumed quickly after opening, the powder form has a longer shelf life and is more stable.

Method of use:
- 1-2 capsules per day with sufficient water
- in case of acute deficiency 3-4 capsules per day
Contraindications:
Do not take at the same time as an iron supplement (calcium reduces iron absorption). It is recommended to space them at least 2 hours apart.
Interactions:
Oral administration of calcium reduces the absorption of some antibiotics (especially tetracyclines) and liposoluble vitamins. A three-hour interval between the administration of these products is advisable.
