Three small tablets a day, taken with meals, add calcium, vitamin D and four supporting minerals to your routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA daily dose provides 999 mg of calcium, which is 125% of the reference intake. Calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium, and to the maintenance of normal muscle function.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor context, the NHS says adults aged 19 to 64 need 700 mg of calcium a day, and most can get it from food. The NHS also suggests considering 10 micrograms of vitamin D daily in autumn and winter. Xtra-Cal gives 2.3 micrograms, so it does not replace a dedicated vitamin D supplement.

Do I need this?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePossibly not. Many people meet their calcium needs from milk, cheese, yoghurt and fortified foods.
