How KABO describes it“Bioavailable minerals for bones, energy, immunity & metabolism”
Calcium

What it actually is

The most abundant mineral in the body, with almost all of it held in bone — which doubles as a reserve the body draws on when intake falls short.

What it does in the body

Needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and for normal muscle function, nerve transmission and blood clotting.

Where else to get it

Milk, curd, paneer, ragi, sesame, and green leafy vegetables. Ragi is exceptionally high and thoroughly Indian.

Worth knowing in IndiaCalcium intake is low across much of India, particularly among adults who stop drinking milk after childhood.

In the formula

Calcium needs vitamin D to be absorbed properly. The two are worth thinking about together rather than separately.

KABO does not publish a milligram-by-milligram breakdown of every micronutrient, so this page describes what the ingredient is and what it is needed for rather than how much of it a serving contains. The full ingredient list is printed on every pack and set out at kabo.co.in/pages/ingredients. This is general nutrition information, not medical advice — if you are pregnant, managing a medical condition or taking medication, talk to your doctor before changing what you take.
