1. Introduction of calcium carboante DC granular
The apperance of calcium carbonate DC granular is white or off-white irregular granular. It is a type of calcium carbonate for tablet application. Calcium carbonate DC grabular can be compressed directly to make tablet. We have calcium carbonate DC with maltodextrin, starch and so on.
2.The role of calcium
calcium carboante tablets are the common calcium supplement in the market. Calcium is the main component that makes up bones and teeth. Supplementing calcium carbonate appropriately can help maintain bone density, prevent fractures and tooth loss. Secondly, calcium plays a crucial role in muscle contraction, using calcium carbonate can also improve muscle pain and spasms caused by calcium deficiency. In addition, calcium in calcium carbonate also participates in the process of blood coagulation, which helps prevent the occurrence of hemorrhagic diseases.
Calcium deficiency can lead to rickets and osteomalacia in children, and symptoms such as decreased height, loose teeth, and back pain in adults. Therefore, if the above symptoms occur, timely medical attention should be sought to determine whether there is a calcium deficiency. Usually, people choose a calcium tablet , such as calcium carbonate tablet or calcium citrate tablet to suplement calcium.
3. Attention
Calcium carbonate tablet which made by calcium carbonate DC granular has a low bioavailability and needs to be effectively absorbed in the presence of stomach acid, so it is best to take it during meals.
For people with insufficient stomach acid, supplementing with calcium carbonate may lead to constipation and bloating. In the process of calcium carbonate absorption, it needs the participation of vitamin D. Under normal circumstances, vitamin D exists as an inactive calcitonin under the epidermis, which is activated by ultraviolet radiation and then undergoes two enzymatic reactions in the liver and kidneys to form 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, promoting calcium absorption into the bloodstream. Therefore, while supplementing calcium supplements, we recommend to also supplement vitamin D.
What’s more, we should pay attention to hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia (excluding those with hypoparathyroidism). Hypermagnesemia should avoid to supplement with large doses of calcium supplements.
