SISU Kiddie Cal Chewable Kids Calcium 250mg with Vitamin D, 90 Star Shaped Tablets

SISU Kiddie Cal Details

Helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth. A factor in the maintenance of good health.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and even though it is found in various food sources, such as dairy products, green leafy vegetables, and nuts, the studies show that children do not often meet the recommended daily intake of calcium in their diet. Children have unique nutritional needs due to their rapidly growing bodies and calcium is crucial during the growing years as it contributes to peak bone mass. Research shows that people who achieve and maintain healthy peak bone mass are at lesser risk of bone loss and osteoporosis later in life. There are a number of reasons for an inadequate calcium intake by children, including picky eating, poor dietary choices, lactose intolerance or consumption of foods and beverages that deplete calcium levels, such as caffeine and sugar-rich sodas. A daily calcium supplement is a convenient and reliable way to ensure that children are taking enough calcium to build strong bones and teeth.
