Calcichew D3 Forte Chewable - 60 Tablets

We tend to receive calcium from our diet through consuming dairy products, such as milk and cheese, eating leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale and products that are made with fortified flour, such as bread. We can lose calcium through consuming high levels of protein and salt, so it is important to not eat products that contain a lot of protein or salt excessively. Those with a lactose intolerance can also have an inadequate calcium intake so should seek dairy alternatives that include calcium, such as soya milk with added calcium or ensure they are eating foods that are rich in calcium such as leafy greens and certain fish like sardines, where the bones are consumed. We receive most of our vitamin D from sunlight. However if you live in a country that doesn’t receive a lot of sunlight or you have mobility issues or a health condition that causes you to stay inside for long periods of time, you may develop a vitamin D deficiency. Deficiencies in both vitamin D and calcium can be treated and prevented by ensuring we include enough food in our diets that contain calcium and exercising outside. If it isn’t possible to receive sufficient amounts of calcium or vitamin D through your diet and lifestyle alone, then taking supplements may be helpful. Speak to your doctor or a Chemist4U pharmacist to see if adding a new supplement to your diet would be beneficial for you.
