Calcium instant combines three active ingredients in proper concentration
Calcium plays important physiological roles and is essential for the functional integrity of nerve and muscle, where it has release of neurotransmitters. It is necessary for muscle contraction, cardiac function maintenance of the integrity of membranes and coagulation of the blood.
In addition calcium mediates the intracellular action of many hormones.
Vitamin D3 is completely and more rapidly absorbed from the small intestine than other forms of Vitamin D. Its presence in adequate concentration increases intestinal calcium absorption.
Vitamin C is the natural preservative for cell membrane It also protects calcium from interaction with phytic acid, phosphate and tannate thus keeping it dissolved in the solution.
