Pharmacology
Your body can't tolerate a shortage of calcium in the blood, not even for a short time, because so many bodily functions depend on it. Clinical evidence suggests that calcium is useful for preventing and treating osteoporosis and the fractures linked to it. Vitamin D is also essential for healthy bones. It helps calcium get absorbed from the GI tract, and it stimulates bone formation as well. Clinical studies also show that calcium and vitamin D work together to support bone growth and to prevent osteoporosis and fractures.
In this preparation, the calcium carbonate comes from coral. Coral Calcium has a chemical structure very similar to the composition of human bone. It is similar to other calcium sources but ensures better absorption. Vitamin D3 helps calcium absorption from the GI tract and helps maintain calcium balance in the body.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
During pregnancy, the daily intake should not go above 1500 mg calcium and 600 IU cholecalciferol (15 mcg vitamin D). Animal studies have shown reproductive toxicity with high doses of vitamin D. In pregnant women, overdoses of calcium and vitamin D should be avoided, because permanent hypercalcaemia has been linked to adverse effects on the developing foetus. There are no indications that vitamin D at therapeutic doses is teratogenic in humans.
Coral Calcium + Vitamin D3 can be used during pregnancy if there is a calcium and vitamin D deficiency. It can also be used during breast-feeding. Calcium and vitamin D3 pass into breast milk, and this should be considered when giving additional vitamin D to the child.
