Herbs of Gold Children’s Calci Care 60 chewable tablets

• Children’s Calci Care contains the key nutrients calcium, vitamin D3

and vitamin K2 to support healthy bone development and growth in

children in a great-tasting strawberry-vanilla flavoured chewable

tablet.

• Children’s Calci Care contains the bioactive form of vitamin D3

(colecalciferol) that is identical to the vitamin D naturally produced by

the body.

• Children’s Calci Care contains vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (MK-7).

MK-7 provides a high rate of absorption and bioavailability.

• Vitamin D3 is sourced from wild-crafted Reindeer Lichen (Cladonia

rangiferina), a natural plant-based source of vitamin D3 that is vegan

friendly.

• Children’s Calci Care is naturally sweetened with tooth-friendly

xylitol. Xylitol is a natural sweetener found mainly in fibrous fruits and

vegetables. While sugar has a glycaemic index of 100, xylitol has

a glycaemic index of 7, so it has a negligible effect on blood sugar

levels. Xylitol is alkalising which creates an unfriendly environment for

bacteria detrimental to tooth enamel. 

Each chewable tablet contains:

Calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate..................................................................................................... 860.6mg

 equiv. calcium 200mg

DRUG INTERACTIONS

• Contraindicated with blood thinning medications and warfarin –

vitamin D supplementation reduces drug effectiveness.

• Caution with tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics – calcium can

reduce drug bioavailability. Take antibiotics either 2 hours before or

4-6 hours after calcium.

• Caution with magnesium, iron and zinc supplements - concurrent use

with calcium can reduce the absorption of these minerals. Separate

dose by 2 hours.

• Caution with thiazide diuretics – drug decreases urinary excretion

of calcium. Monitor serum calcium levels and look for signs of

hypercalcaemia.

• Caution with cardiac glycosides (digoxin) – calcium supplementation

may cause drug toxicity. Monitor.

• Caution with calcium channel blockers – vitamin D supplementation

may reduce drug effectiveness. Monitor.

CAUTIONS

• Calcium supplementation is contraindicated in hypercalcaemia and

hypercalciuria.

• Caution with hyperparathyroidism and chronic kidney disease –

calcium supplementation should only be taken under medical

supervision.

• Vitamin D is contraindicated in people with vitamin D hypersensitivity,

systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and hypercalcaemia.
