Hexal, Calcium Sandoz Forte, 5×20

For strong bones

Calcium is a vital mineral that is necessary for bone formation and bone maintenance. It is absorbed in the small intestine and distributed throughout the body via the blood. Calcium plays an important role in several bodily functions.

It is vital for nerve, muscle and heart function as well as for blood clotting. It also mediates the effects of many hormones. In order to fulfill all of these tasks, calcium must be present in sufficient concentrations in the corresponding tissues.

Calcium is the main component of our bones. The mineral ensures that they become and remain stable and resilient. Since the body needs calcium every day and cannot produce the mineral itself, this loss must be compensated — especially when there is an increased need for calcium, such as during pregnancy, breastfeeding, growth or for the prevention of osteoporosis.
