BioCare Calcidophilus - 130mg Elemental Calcium - 90 Vegicaps

Calcidophilus is a source of highly bio-available, concentrated, food state calcium.

During the growing process of the lactobacillus acidophilus, calcium carbonate is fed to the friendly bacteria and is incorporated into its own structure. When the L. acidophilus has digested sufficient calcium it is freeze-dried and encapsulated, then vacuum packed into glass bottles.

Calcium carbonate is normally poorly absorbed. When ingested the calcium-rich L. acidophilus attach to the intestinal wall and release calcium.

Features of Calcidophilus:

• Calcium is needed for the formation and maintenance of bones and teeth;
• Calcium is necessary to support nerves and muscles;
• Calcium is involved in the function of heart muscle;
• A dairy-free calcium supplement with acid stable L. acidophilus;
• Vacuum packed to protect the viability of the L. acidophilus during storage and maintain its stability;
• Suitable for children from 12 months old.
