Calcium deficiency

  • Absorption of calcium may be reduced if there is a deficiency of vitamin D (that is why we include vitamin d in our formula), a high intake of dietary fiber, a diet in raw whole grains, a diet high in saturated fat and by a high phosphorus (found in fizzy drinks) and a high protein intake.
  • Calcium excretion is also increased by caffeine and sodium (in salt) intake.
  • Stress has also been found to increase the excretion of calcium. 
  • Refined foods are also lower in calcium than unprocessed foods. All these conditions and factors which lead to impaired absorption or loss of calcium from the body, result in a deficiency of calcium in the body and may result in a shift of calcium from bone to soft tissue.
  • This may promote osteoporosis and also arteriosclerosis and high blood pressure.
  • Calcium deficiency often does not resolve unless a sufficient magnesium intake is also maintained.
  • High intake of calcium and potassium may also prevent some of the harmful effects of excess sodium (table salt) consumption, which is prevalent in our society.

Customer reviews

  • I have been taking your calcium tablets for a couple a months and there is a huge improvement in my bone density on the last test. Your calcium is really working for me and even my doctor is most impressed. 
    • Yvonne - Cape Town, South Africa
  • I tested your calcium tablets by placing them in vinegar and boy did they dissolve quickly - a friend of mine told me about testing calcium supplements this way to determine if your body would be able to absorb it, and after the test she also ordered Oystacal from you. 
    • Gertrude - Chicago, USA
  • After trying various calcium supplements - even the very expensive coral type, I found your website and now after taking it for a couple of months I must confess that I am more than happy with these tablets. 
    • Joyce - California, USA
