Buy Calcium – Mineral Supplements from Scheunengut

Calcium is a macro-mineral and the most abundant mineral in the human body. Chemically it belongs to the alkaline earth metals and is usually present in supplements as a compound such as calcium carbonate or calcium citrate. In this category you'll find calcium products from Scheunengut – with a defined content, vegan and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

For food supplements, calcium is often obtained from mineral sources such as limestone or from algae such as the red alga Lithothamnium. These raw materials give rise to the various calcium compounds, which differ in solubility and calcium content.

Standardisation & Format

The decisive factor is the declared calcium content per serving, which results from the respective compound – calcium carbonate has a high elemental proportion, while calcium citrate is considered highly soluble. Calcium is available as a capsule, tablet or powder, often combined with vitamin D and magnesium.

What to Look For When Buying

  • Transparently declared calcium content per daily serving
  • Origin of the compound, e.g. mineral or from algae
