Pharma Nord BioActive Calcium+D3+K1+K2 60’s

BioActive Calcium+D3+K1+K2 contains vitamin D3 to increase the absorption of calcium in the body and vitamin K for good absorption of calcium in the bones.

BioActive Calcium+D3+K1+K2 is ideal in combination with BioActive Magnesium.

BioActive Calcium+D3+K1+K2 tablets contain nutrients that are important for the bones. The combination of calcium, vitamin D3, and vitamin K1/K2 helps maintain normal bone tissue. The calcium is ionized in the stomach, and the calcium ions are absorbed in the intestine with help from  vitamin D3. Vitamin K is absorbed in the small intestine where it helps maintain healthy bones and supports blood coagulation. BioActive Calcium+D3+K1+K2 can also be chewed.

If you take two tablets per day, you can take them one at a time with separate meals.

Calcium is an element and also the most abundant mineral in the human body. The most prominent function of calcium is its role in maintaining normal teeth and bones. Bone tissue functions as the body's calcium storage facility. If the body gets too little calcium, it frees calcium from bone tissue to cover its needs.

The amount of calcium that is not channeled into teeth and bones helps to support various body functions. Calcium contributes to:
Normal maintenance of muscle function
Normal nerve transmission
Normal blood clotting
Normal energy metabolism
Normal functioning of digestive enzymes

Calcium and bones
Our bone mass is living tissue that is constantly being replaced. The bone-forming cells are called osteoblasts, while the bone-degrading cells are called osteoclasts. Because bone tissue also functions as the body's calcium storage facility it is importnt to absorb plenty of calcium in our bones. In situations where the body gets too little calcium from the diet, the osteoclasts are activated and break down bone tissue to release the calcium needed to cover the body's deficit.

It is important to get plenty of calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K during the years when your bones develop. Until the age of 30-35 years, our bone mass accumulates because the osteoblasts are more active than the osteoclasts. At some point, the two cell types reach a state of equilibrium. This is where our bone mass reaches its peak. The processes of establishing strongo and healthy bone mass is called “building a bone bank.” After reaching this point, the amount of calcium lost from the bones will exceed the amount that is stored. This causes a net loss of bone mass of around 0.6% per year. Although it is a slow and gradual loss, you will be better off if you have managed to build as much bone mass as possible from the beginning.

In addition to the age-related loss of bone, women are exposed to a hormone-related loss of bone mass starting at menopause. As a consequence, their total annual loss of bone mass can be as much as six per cent when their ovaries stop producing hormones.

Men generally only lose half as much bone mass as women do.

An active non-smoking lifestyle also helps to prevent loss of bone mass.

As shown in the following illustration, women are more exposed to loss of bone mass than men. Research shows that women who are treated with estrogen are not necessarily in less need of calcium.
