Lamberts Chewable Calcium  400mg, 60 Tablets

Most manufacturers use sugar in their chewable formulas, but we have used fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS). This natural material is extracted from chicory root and has the benefit of not causing tooth decay. Furthermore, preliminary studies show that FOS can enhance the absorption of calcium.

This product is suitable for all ages, particularly children who have a high requirement for calcium, but hate taking tablets. Each tablet provides a full 400mg of calcium, 2.5µg of vitamin D and 1000mg of FOS.

It is well established that many people's diets provide insufficient supplies of calcium. Since 71 % of female teenagers aged between 16-18 years old fail to consume adequate calcium from the diet and with a quarter of UK 4 year-olds following this trend, calcium supplementation is pertinent for many. Calcium intakes of girls and women are of particular concern because achieving optimum bone density before the age of 30 will help to maintain strong bones in old age. Calcium tablets tend to be quite large so we have developed these pleasant lemon flavoured chewable calcium tablets to encourage ease of use. Whilst most manufacturers use sugar in their chewable formulas, we have used a special type of sweet tasting soluble fibre called fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS). This natural material is extracted from chicory root and has the benefit of not causing tooth decay. Furthermore, preliminary studies show that FOS can enhance the absorption of calcium.
