Vitakruid Calcium 400 & D3 from sustainable Red Algae Aquamin TG 90

Vitakruid Calcium 400 & D3 from sustainable Red Algae Aquamin TG
Calcium, also known as lime, is the most abundant mineral in our body.

Higher needs for children and pregnant women
Daily, the body needs about 450 - 1200 mg of calcium depending on age and gender. During periods of growth, such as childhood or pregnancy, more calcium is needed than usual. You obtain calcium by eating legumes, vegetables such as green beans, spinach, and soybeans, nuts, and various dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt.

Natural calcium from red algae (Aquamin TG®)
In calcium tablets, calcium carbonate is a common form. This is a cheap source of calcium that your body poorly absorbs. We believe it is important that calcium reaches the places where it is needed. Our Calcium 400 & D3 is therefore made based on Aquamin®. This is an ingredient (allergen- and GMO-free) from a renowned developer, Marigot Ltd, which has been sourcing algae in an exclusively sustainable way for 24 years.

They do this using GPS technology that allows them to see which areas can be harvested. Living red algae can thus be spared and continue to absorb minerals. This organization supports the efficacy of nutrients based on science and develops exclusively in a sustainable manner.

Sustainably sourced only
Aquamin® is made from natural, mineral-rich, and calcium-containing seaweed (Lithothamnion sp.). This type of algae can be found on the seabed of the North Atlantic Ocean, where the waters are mineral-rich, crystal clear, and free from pollution. In addition to highly absorbable calcium, Aquamin® also contains magnesium and other essential trace minerals.

Combination with D3 for better absorption
Vitamin D3 ensures optimal functioning of calcium. You obtain this sunshine vitamin in very small amounts through your diet; mostly, your body produces it through the skin.

Calcium and vitamin D for all ages
The general daily amount (RDA) varies for children by age, and for adults by age and gender. While older adults need extra calcium, children do as well.

Health Council recommends 10 mcg of vitamin D for children
Children aged 4 to 8 years have a calcium requirement of about 700 mg per day. Boys from 9 years old are already above this with 1200 mg, while girls of 9 years are 100 mg below this with 1100 mg per day. Furthermore, the Health Council indicates that children from birth benefit from a daily intake of 10 mcg of vitamin D.

Ease of intake with chewable tablet featuring a convenient break line
Our calcium tablets are suitable for children from 4 years old to seniors. While an adult can often easily chew the whole tablet, it may sometimes be too large for a child. With the break lines, you can easily break the round tablet into four pieces, making it easy for young children to use Calcium 400. Additionally, the natural orange flavor makes the calcium tablet a treat for the taste buds.
