What does calcium do?
Calcium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, to normal muscle function, to normal neurotransmission, to normal blood clotting, to the normal function of digestive enzymes, to normal energy-yielding metabolism, and it has a role in the process of cell division.
Do you actually need a supplement?
Worth asking, because calcium is one of the easier nutrients to get from food. The Nutrient Reference Value is 800mg, and a third of a litre of milk, a pot of yoghurt or a matchbox of cheese each supply a good share. Fortified plant milks, tinned sardines, tofu and leafy greens all contribute. Check what your diet already provides before adding a high-dose supplement.
Why vitamin D and K2 appear alongside
Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium, which is why the two are so often combined - calcium without adequate vitamin D is less useful. Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and is the third element in many bone formulas. If you take warfarin, do not take vitamin K without speaking to your GP.
Practical points
Calcium tablets are bulky, and liquids or powders are the alternative if that is a problem. Calcium interferes with iron absorption, so space the two apart. Follow the directions on the pack and do not exceed the stated dose.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
