Calcium
(Citrate)
A highly bioavailable calcium supplement for bone health, especially suited for those with absorption issues or low dietary intake.
Calcium citrate is a readily absorbed form of calcium used to support bone health and prevent deficiency, particularly where gastric acid production is low or dietary intake is inadequate.
Calcium’s effects on bone health and utility in deficiency are well substantiated; impacts on cardiovascular and muscle function are supported but less robust.
Supports bone strength and density
StrongCalcium citrate helps maintain bone mineral density and reduces fracture risk, especially in postmenopausal women and older adults.
Promotes healthy muscle function
ModerateAdequate calcium is vital for muscle contraction and relaxation, with deficiency increasing risk of cramps and dysfunction.
May support healthy blood pressure and vascular function
LimitedCalcium supplementation can modestly lower blood pressure in some individuals with hypertension; long-term effects require more research.
