The guidelines formulated by the Nutrition Society of China require people to consume about 800mg of calcium every day, and calcium tablets are one of the important supplementary means. When choosing calcium tablets, instead of paying attention to fancy advertisements and various gimmicks, we should pay attention to its core issues: calcium content, taste, price and added ingredients:

1, calcium content

What we need to pay attention to is the content of calcium. Generally speaking, calcium carbonate has high calcium content and high absorption and utilization rate. However, the contents of calcium gluconate, calcium lactate and calcium citrate are low. In the case of tolerance, we recommend using calcium products of calcium carbonate, such as calcium D and Jodi calcium tablets.

Step 2 taste

Some calcium tablets need to be swallowed whole, and taking them off will affect the effect-for example, ordinary calcium tablets-so those who have difficulty swallowing are not suitable for use. Some calcium tablets can be chewed, which is more suitable for this group of people. For children, calcium gluconate and calcium lactate with better taste sometimes have to be the first choice (although it is generally not recommended to use them first because of their low calcium content and high price).

3. Price

Some health care products sell ordinary calcium tablets at high prices under the banner of "organic calcium" and "green calcium". Personally, I think it is completely unnecessary.

Step 4 add ingredients

In addition, we should also pay attention to whether calcium tablets contain vitamin D, which helps to absorb calcium and strengthen the curative effect. At the same time, we clearly oppose any calcium products from animals and shells, because they may have some heavy metal residues, which may bring some accumulation after long-term use.

However, the newly covered calcium tablets are very good in these four aspects, which are easily absorbed by middle-aged and elderly people and are worth buying.
