Calciumade (Calcium + Vitamin D3 + Minerals)

Calciumade® is a bone and joint supplement that has 600mg elemental calcium (calcium carbonate), 400 IU vitamin D3 for bone strength and minerals (zinc, magnesium, manganese) for flexible joints.

Dosage

It is recommended to take Calciumade^® twice a day after meals to meet the recommended daily intake. Remember to take only one tablet a time for better calcium absorption, since our body can only absorb 600mg of Calcium per intake.

Pregnancy

Calciumade® is advised to be taken by pregnant and breastfeeding women. The baby's bones start to form early in pregnancy and develop rapidly during the 3rd trimester. If the mom doesn't have adequate amount of calcium, the baby will draw it from her bones, putting the mom at risk for bone health concerns later in life.

Breastfeeding

Calciumade^® is advised to be taken by breastfeeding/lactating moms as calcium is transferred from the mom to the baby through breast-milk at a rate of 250mg to 300mg/day and as high as 1,000mg/day. Over the period of 6 months of lactation, the mom can have 6% total body calcium loss which can make her at risk for osteoporosis and bone problems and discomfort later in life.
