Dr. Yu Yongchao
Calcium lactate chewable tablets serve to supplement calcium, promote bone development, alleviate premenstrual syndrome (PMS), improve sleep quality, and enhance immunity, among other benefits.
1. Calcium supplementation: Calcium lactate is a form of calcium that can effectively supply the body's required calcium. Calcium is a primary component of bones and teeth and plays an important role in maintaining bone health and preventing osteoporosis.
2. Promote bone development: Children and adolescents require substantial amounts of calcium to support normal bone development during growth periods. Calcium lactate chewable tablets provide additional calcium, aiding in the healthy growth of bones.
3. Alleviate premenstrual syndrome: Adequate calcium intake can relieve symptoms of PMS, such as headaches and abdominal pain. Calcium lactate chewable tablets may help alleviate these symptoms.
4. Improve sleep quality: Calcium lactate can promote the production of melatonin in the brain, a hormone that helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle.
5. Enhance immunity: An adequate amount of calcium can strengthen the immune system, helping prevent colds and other illnesses. Calcium lactate chewable tablets may positively influence immune function by supplying calcium.
It is also important to maintain a balanced diet when supplementing calcium, avoiding long-term excessive consumption of high-calcium foods and ensuring sufficient vitamin D intake to promote calcium absorption.
