Schuessler Combination U Tissue Salts 125 Tablets

Calcium tends to get plenty of attention, but how well the body makes use of it matters just as much as how much we take in. Schuessler Combination U is a four-salt blend that Martin & Pleasance traditionally associates with calcium absorption, with a particular focus on bones and teeth.

It's a popular choice for people at every stage of life, from growing teenagers to adults who want to take extra care of their skeleton as the years go by, and it pairs well with a balanced, calcium-rich diet.

What's Inside Combination U?

Every tablet contains equal parts Calc Phos (calcium phosphate), Calc Fluor (calcium fluoride), Silica (silicea) and Nat Phos (sodium phosphate), each at 6X. In the tissue salt tradition, Calc Phos is the bone-building salt, Calc Fluor is linked with tooth enamel and elasticity, Silica is associated with connective tissue, and Nat Phos with acid-alkaline balance.

The idea behind Combination U is that these four minerals work together, which is why the blend has become a go-to for anyone focused on strong bones and healthy teeth.

Where Tissue Salts Began

The tissue salt system was first set out in the 1870s by Dr Wilhelm Heinrich Schuessler, a physician working in northern Germany. He believed that twelve mineral salts formed the basic building blocks of the body's cells and that keeping them in balance was central to everyday wellbeing. Rather than giving large mineral doses, he triturated each salt with milk sugar to create a very gentle preparation. Generations of families have since kept a few of his salts in the cupboard, and the original twelve are still made to the same principles today.

Made by Martin & Pleasance

Martin & Pleasance has been producing natural remedies for well over a century, and its Schuessler tissue salts are among the most recognised in the category. Every tablet is made at a 6X potency - a one in a million dilution of the mineral - using lactose as the traditional carrier. The tablets are compact and pleasantly mild, so they're easy to chew, dissolve on the tongue or stir into water. With twelve single salts and a long list of lettered and numbered combinations, the range makes it straightforward to find a salt that suits your routine.

Making It Part of Your Day

Tissue salts work best as a gentle habit rather than an occasional extra. Try linking Combination U to things you already do, such as before breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a final dose as you head to bed. If you're new to tissue salts, give it a few weeks of steady use and, if you're unsure which salts suit you best, have a chat with a qualified practitioner or our friendly in-store team.

Getting the Most From Your Tissue Salts

• Let tablets dissolve slowly on the tongue for the traditional approach
• Take them away from meals, ideally half an hour before eating
• Store in a cool, dry place with the lid closed
• Combine with other Schuessler salts if your practitioner suggests it
• Each bottle holds 125 tablets

For a traditional, easy-to-take blend that puts bones and teeth first, Combination U is an excellent choice.
