The importance of calcium

Along with vitamin D, calcium is a vital nutrient that helps your body develop and maintain strong bones. In terms of diet, this mineral is most commonly found in milk-based products and green vegetables.

If your body doesn't get enough calcium from dietary sources, it may negatively impact your muscle function and overall bone health. Over time, low calcium levels may lead to a lower bone mass, brittle bones, or a reduction in bone growth. If you aren't getting enough calcium through diet alone, supplementing with calcium can help you reach your overall intake goals and support better bone health.

Who needs a calcium supplement?

You eat well, you exercise, and overall you feel pretty good. However, you may still need to add calcium to your diet in order to maintain healthy bones. Many adults don’t get enough calcium from their diet alone.

Consider a calcium supplement if you:

• Are lactose intolerant
• Follow a low-dairy diet
• Follow a vegan diet
• Follow a high-protein diet

Each person may require a different amount of calcium intake depending on age and gender, as well as certain lifestyle factors or diets. Filter our full selection of calcium supplements based on strength, flavor, product form, specialty diet, or number of servings to find an option that best suits your needs.

Calcium for your lifestyle

The Vitamin Shoppe makes it easy to find calcium products that are right for you and your lifestyle. Traditional calcium tablets offer a cost-effective approach to supplementing your diet, although some people find this form chalky or difficult to swallow. If swallowing a tablet is difficult, consider a liquid calcium supplement. Liquid calcium is available in many flavors, including blueberry, strawberry, and cherry.

Other calcium product forms include powders, gummies and soft chew tablets that offer tasty flavors like dark chocolate, fruits, or veggie combinations. Chewable calcium products are convenient for on-the-go use. The Vitamin Shoppe carries a large selection of popular calcium brands such as Nature’s Way, Solaray, Solgar, and Thompson Candy so you can stay on a healthy routine no matter where your lifestyle takes you.
