Schuessler No 01 Calc Fluor Tissue Salts 125 Tablets

First in the alphabetical Martin & Pleasance sequence, Calc Fluor is often called the elasticity salt - a fitting nickname for a mineral so closely connected with the flexible, resilient tissues of the body. Schuessler No 01 Calc Fluor presents this salt in a small 6X tablet that's simple to chew or dissolve in water.

It's a long-standing favourite with people who want to look after their skin's suppleness, their tooth enamel and the connective tissues that keep them moving comfortably.

What Is Calc Fluor?

Calc Fluor is the shorthand name for calcium fluoride, a naturally occurring mineral found in tooth enamel, the surface of bones and the elastic fibres of skin, ligaments and blood vessel walls. In Dr Schuessler's system, it's the salt associated with elasticity and strength, helping tissues hold their shape while staying flexible.

As a single salt, Calc Fluor is ideal if you prefer to build your own routine or have been advised to take this specific salt. It also features in several combinations, including Combination 12, Combination G, Combination L, Combination P, Combination R and Combination U.

The Thinking Behind Tissue Salts

Dr Schuessler's idea was refreshingly simple. He proposed that the body relies on twelve key mineral salts, and that a shortfall or imbalance in any of them might show up in everyday ways. To help, he prepared each mineral at a low, finely divided potency so it could be absorbed easily and taken by young and old alike. First published in 1873, his system spread from Germany across Europe, Britain and Australia, and his twelve salts - along with the combinations later built from them - are still widely used more than 150 years on.

Why Martin & Pleasance?

Few names are as closely tied to tissue salts as Martin & Pleasance. The Australian company has specialised in Schuessler salts for generations, and it still follows the traditional method of triturating each mineral with lactose to a 6X potency. The result is a small, gentle tablet with a mild, slightly sweet taste that most people find easy to take, children included. The range is clearly organised too, with single salts numbered 1 to 12 and combinations identified by letter or number, so it's simple to build a routine around the salts you use most.

How People Use It

Some customers keep No 01 Calc Fluor for the times they feel they need it most, taking doses more frequently for a short spell, while others prefer a steady four-times-daily routine over several weeks. Either way, it's best taken half an hour before food, away from strong flavours like mint and coffee. Many people also find it helpful to pair it with other Schuessler salts, as recommended by their practitioner.
