The information provided here is based primarily on side effects that occur in at least one in 1,000 patients treated.
Calcium ions play a decisive role in the activation of biological systems. A lack of calcium in the blood increases neuromuscular excitability, while an excess reduces it. Oral calcium supplementation promotes remineralization of the skeleton in the case of calcium deficiency. The active ingredient also binds and neutralizes stomach acid. Calcium forms poorly soluble salts with stomach acid, which are excreted in the stool. In this way, the substance is effective against heartburn, belching and other acid-related stomach complaints. It also reduces the risk of ulcers occurring in the gastrointestinal tract as a result of hyperacidity.
