| Product Description |
Calcium is a mineral that is found naturally in foods. Calcium is necessary for many normal functions of the body, especially bone formation and maintenance. Calcium can also bind to other minerals (such as phosphate) and aid in their removal from the body.
Calcium gluconate is used to prevent and to treat calcium deficiencies.
Calcium gluconate may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
|
| Warning |
|
Do not take calcium gluconate or antacids containing calcium without first talking to your doctor if you take other medications. Calcium can decrease the effects of many other medicines by binding to them or by changing the acidity of the stomach or the urine.
|
| Directions |
|
Take calcium gluconate exactly as directed by your doctor or follow the directions on the package. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.

| More |
From a small mail order business in David and Sheila Gaiman’s Sussex home, G&G today has grown to be the largest manufacturer of encapsulated products in the UK’s health industry. Along the way the company has passed milestones and achieved several firsts in the ever-growing field of nutrition and health.
Sheila Gaiman qualified as a pharmacist in the 1960s but soon decided that natural solutions to health problems were preferable to most drugs. Combining her talents with her husband’s knowledge of nutrition they started to supply Vitamin E, a scarce commodity back in 1965. By the late 1970s the company had taken over a shop in East Grinstead’s High Street, where it combined retail sales with a burgeoning mail order business. The company’s insistence on the highest quality standards gradually evolved to the purchase of a 10,000 square foot manufacturing facility on the outskirts of the town. From here G&G commenced their own manufacturing and developed the Trufil™ capsule, a process which meant absolutely no fillers or excipients were added to any formula. Steady growth necessitated a further move and in 1997 a 31,000 square foot facility was purchased at Vitality House, Imberhorne Way.
Amongst further advancements in the company’s manufacturing procedures, there was the establishment of a pharmaceutical-standard ‘Clean Room’. G&G now offer totally vegetarian capsules across most products provided; they were also the first company in the UK to be licensed by the Soil Association to produce organic encapsulated herbs. The company’s launch, in 2004, of EssentialFood™ heralded the most complete certified organic functional food product anywhere in the world. Third party manufacturing work has continued to blossom: the company produces around 3 million capsules a week and recently celebrated the manufacture of its 3-billionth capsule!
