Calcium Supplement Malaysia

Calcium is essential for strong bones and teeth, and it also helps with muscle function, nerve transmission, and maintaining a healthy heart rhythm.

Calcium supplements may be beneficial for individuals who have difficulty meeting their daily calcium needs through diet alone. This includes older adults, postmenopausal women, and individuals with certain dietary restrictions.

There are two main types of calcium supplements:

• Calcium carbonate: Requires stomach acid for absorption, best taken with food.
• Calcium citrate: Easier on the stomach and can be taken with or without food.

When taken within the recommended dosage, calcium supplements are safe. However, excessive intake (above 2,500 mg/day) may lead to kidney stones or other health issues.

Calcium supplements are widely available at pharmacies, health stores, and online platforms.
