Mode of action: Calcium ions have crucial importance in the activation of biological systems. A deficiency of calcium in the blood increases, whereas an excess decreases neuromuscular excitability. Oral calcium supplementation promotes skeletal remineralisation in the case of calcium deficiency. In addition, it binds and neutralises gastric acid. Calcium forms salts that are difficult to dissolve with stomach acid and are excreted in the stool. In this way, the substance works against heartburn, belching and other acid-related stomach complaints. It also reduces the risk of ulcers appearing in the gastrointestinal tract as a result of hyperacidity. Important information: - Take care if you have an intolerance to sucrose.
