Caltrate SELECT contains: 600 mg of calcium carbonate (elemental calcium) and 400 IU of vitamin D (cholecalciferol) per tablet. Vitamin D helps in the maintenance of strong bones and good health. It increases calcium absorption by as much as 30% to 80%. Sunshine is our main source of vitamin D. However, in Canada, for about 5 months of the year, the sun does not generate sufficient vitamin D to meet our daily requirements. Canada's Food Guide recommends that adults over 50 take a vitamin D supplement. This is where Caltrate Select can help you. Taken daily, along with a healthy diet, Caltrate Select helps you to meet your daily requirements for calcium and vitamin D.
