Also known as: calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, Calcichew, Adcal
An essential mineral for bone health, muscle function, and nerve signalling. Postmenopausal women are at increased risk of calcium deficiency and osteoporosis due to declining oestrogen. The UK RNI is 700mg/day, though many postmenopausal women require supplementation alongside vitamin D, particularly if dietary intake is low.

10 reports from women who tried Calcium
Tried Calcium on the recommendation of nutritionist. The first few weeks were uneventful, but by week 6 the difference was remarkable. Still taking it and plan to continue.
Mixed feelings about Calcium. mood stabilised slightly was noticeable, but my mood was still up and down didn't really improve. Worth trying but manage your expectations.
I've been using Calcium for about 12 weeks now for sleep disruption and joint pain. there was a noticeable difference around week 2. my energy levels were back to normal. It's not perfect but it's made a real difference.
Calcium helped somewhat with my irregular periods and mood swings — energy improved, though the brain fog lingered. I may try increasing the dose.
After reading about other women's experiences with Calcium, I decided to try it for my brain fog and fatigue. I noticed a subtle improvement within the first month. the symptoms were about 70% better by 10 weeks. Worth persevering through the first few weeks.
Research context compiled from published sources
Calcium is incorporated into bone matrix as hydroxyapatite, providing structural strength. Also essential for muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, blood clotting, and intracellular signalling. Adequate calcium intake reduces parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion, which otherwise mobilises calcium from bone.
Well Studied
