Albion™ Chelated Calcium + Vegan Vitamin D3 (250mg Calcium/1000 IU)
Albion™ Chelated Calcium + Vegan Vitamin D3 from EssentialSeries is a food supplement based on calcium and vitamin D3.
We’ve formulated it with high-quality calcium combining calcium carbonate and calcium bisglycinate (a patented Albion™ blend), along with vegan vitamin D3, for optimal support of these important micronutrients. Balchem, the company behind the Albion™ patent, is synonymous with benchmark chelated minerals: raw materials with guaranteed quality, free from impurities, and excellent digestive tolerance. We chose this technology because it’s the best calcium available on the international market, paired with the best source of vitamin D3.
Boost your diet optimally with chelated calcium and top-quality vitamin D3.

Why Albion™ makes the difference
Advanced chelation for great tolerance
Albion™ chelated calcium comes as a stable chelate (in bisglycinate + carbonate form), designed to promote absorption and good digestive tolerance. It’s an ideal form to safely complement your diet daily and long-term with the best tolerance.
Goal: The best quality. At HSN we use Albion™ because it has a clearly defined raw material identity, total absence of impurities thanks to its full chelation process, and traceability thanks to the patent, all backed by Balchem.
Balchem: guarantee of process and consistency
Balchem provides the quality ecosystem that makes Albion™ a standard in chelated minerals: ensuring maximum consistency in every batch, which we verify at HSN with each production of our products.
Vegan D3 and 100% vegetable capsule
Our vitamin D3 comes from lichen (not lanolin), so it’s vegan-friendly. Plus, we use vegetable capsules (HPMC), no animal gelatin, keeping the formula aligned with a plant-based lifestyle.
Calcium + D3: The classic, reliable support for bone health
The combination of calcium and vitamin D3 is a well-established classic for bone health. D3 helps with calcium absorption and use, while calcium provides the key structural mineral for bone tissue.
From this formula, you’ll get the following benefits:
- Calcium contributes to normal blood clotting, normal energy metabolism, normal muscle function, normal neurotransmission, and normal functioning of digestive enzymes.
- Calcium contributes to the process of cell division and differentiation; it’s necessary for maintaining bones and teeth in normal conditions.
- Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus, to the maintenance of normal blood calcium levels, to the maintenance of bones and teeth in normal conditions, and to normal muscle function.
Who is this product for?
For those looking for easy-to-integrate daily calcium, with an excellent tolerance profile and guaranteed raw material quality (Albion™), and want to complement it with vegan D3 for its synergistic effects, in a vegetable capsule. Ideal to support routines focused on bone health.
Recommended use and combinations by HSN
Take 2 vegetable capsules a day with your main meal and let calcium and vitamin D3 do their job, supporting your daily diet without disrupting your routine.
If you want an extra boost, this product pairs perfectly with minerals like magnesium, which has properties linked to muscle tissue and bone health, and with vitamin K, known for its role in bone metabolism. Together, they form an ideal team to complement calcium and vitamin D3.
You can use this combination for as long as you want, since daily long-term use, at the recommended daily doses in supplements you buy at HSN, is totally safe.
Frequently asked questions
Why does Albion™ mix carbonate and bisglycinate?
This isn’t something we decide at HSN; we don’t combine mineral salts ourselves. It’s the same Albion™ chelated calcium patent from Balchem, which combines a concentrated source of elemental calcium (carbonate) with a highly tolerable chelate (bisglycinate) for a balance between significant supply and comfort in daily use.
Is the D3 suitable for vegans?
Yes. Our D3 comes from lichen; the capsule is vegetable and we don’t use gelatin. Many supplements on the market combining calcium and D3 use non-vegan vitamin D3, making it harder to fit into vegan-friendly supplement routines.
Can I take it all year round?
This supplement is designed for continuous use. So yes, although vitamin D3 supplementation is more important in autumn and winter when sun exposure is lower, you can use it all year round.
Does having D3 make it harder to combine with other vitamin D products?
The recommendation is based on consuming up to 4000 IU daily of vitamin D3. Since this supplement only provides 2000 IU, you can use other products with vitamin D3.
