Calcium+Vitamin D The Ultimate Duo for Strong Bones

Strong bones aren't built by calcium alone. While calcium forms the backbone of your skeletal system, it needs a powerful partner—Vitamin D—to do its job effectively. Together, they act as the body’s most reliable teamwork duo, ensuring healthy bone development, maintenance, and long-term strength.

Calcium and Vitamin D are inseparable when it comes to building and maintaining strong bones. Calcium provides the structure, while Vitamin D ensures your body can use it effectively.

Why Calcium Matters

Calcium is the primary mineral that gives bones and teeth their structure and strength. Nearly 99% of the body's calcium is stored in the bones. Your body uses calcium for critical functions like:

• Muscle contraction

• Blood clotting

• Nerve function

If your diet lacks sufficient calcium, the body pulls it from bones, slowly weakening them over time—making adequate intake essential at every age.

Vitamin D: The Game Changer

While calcium is the “building material,” Vitamin D is the “delivery agent.” Without Vitamin D, your body cannot absorb calcium efficiently from food or supplements.

Vitamin D:

• Increases calcium absorption in the intestines

• Maintains optimal calcium and phosphorus levels

• Supports bone mineralisation
