- Oriental Botanicals Calcium Excel contains calcium and vitamin D3, which support healthy:
- Bones and teeth
- Bone mass and mineralisation
- Bone development and growth in children and teenagers
- Muscle contraction and immune system function
- Combines calcium glycinate and calcium citrate, which are more readily absorbed and used by the body than other forms of calcium (like calcium carbonate)

- Includes vitamin D3, which is needed for both calcium uptake and absorption into the bones
How it works
According to research from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, many people in Australia don’t get the daily recommended amount of calcium in their diet, including:
- Nine out of every 10 females (aged 12-18 years and 51 years and older)
- 60% males (aged 12-18 years and 51 years and older)1
Post-menopause and osteoporosis
Teenaged females aged 12-18 years and women 51 years and older have higher requirements for calcium than other age groups.1
Calcium is an important mineral because it can help to prevent a condition called osteoporosis (thin, fragile bones) in post-menopausal women who aren’t consuming sufficient amounts of calcium from their daily diets.
Readily absorbed forms of calcium
Oriental Botanicals Calcium Excel is specially formulated to include calcium glycinate and calcium citrate, which are forms of calcium that are more readily absorbed and used by the body than certain other forms of calcium, such as calcium carbonate.
Calcium for strong, healthy bones and teeth
Oriental Botanicals Calcium Excel contains calcium which supports:
- Strong, healthy bones and healthy teeth
- Healthy muscle contraction
Alongside vitamin D3, calcium also supports healthy bone mass and mineralisation (the amount of bone mineral in bone tissue), as well as healthy bone development and growth in children and teenagers.
Vitamin D for calcium absorption
Vitamin D3 is included in Oriental Botanicals Calcium Excel to aid the uptake of calcium in the body, including its absorption into the bones. Vitamin D3 also supports a healthy immune system.
