Calcium Gummies

Calcium gummies

Calcium gummies are a convenient and fun option for someone who needs to take a calcium supplement but cannot take pills. These fruit-flavored chewy supplements are easy to swallow and come in a variety of flavors.

Using calcium supplements

Calcium supplements can help you keep your bones and teeth strong and may help prevent the development of osteoporosis. Calcium is especially important to women because they are more prone to osteoporosis and other forms of bone loss than men are. Many people do not get enough calcium in the diet because it is not present in many foods. Milk and dairy products are high in calcium, but most people don't consume enough dairy to get enough of this important mineral. Some multivitamins contain calcium, but they generally don't contain 100 percent of the recommended daily amount because calcium molecules are very large and it would make the multivitamin pill too large for comfort. Most people need 1,000 to 1,300 milligrams of calcium each day.

Taking calcium gummies

Calcium gummies can be used in place of other forms of calcium supplements. Because calcium tablets tend to be very large and difficult to swallow, calcium gummies are a good option for many people. Calcium should be taken with vitamin D because this vitamin helps the body absorb calcium efficiently. Some calcium supplements, including some calcium gummies, also contain vitamin D so that a separate vitamin D supplement is not necessary. Most people who take a calcium supplement need to take one or two calcium gummies each day to get enough of this vital mineral.
