Ingredients explained
Calcium (elemental)
Calcium serves as a structural mineral in bones and teeth and participates in muscle contraction and nerve signaling.
Caution: Take with food to support absorption and reduce stomach discomfort; high intakes may interfere with absorption of certain minerals like iron and zinc.
Calcium citrate
Calcium citrate is a highly soluble form that provides elemental calcium and is absorbed even with lower stomach acid.
Caution: May cause mild digestive upset for some; separate from iron or certain medications by a few hours to avoid reduced absorption.
How they work together
Elemental calcium provides the mineral needed for bone structure, while the citrate form enhances solubility and supports absorption, including in individuals with lower stomach acid.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Consult a physician if pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Do not eat the enclosed freshness packet.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications or certain antibiotics may need to separate calcium by at least 2 hours due to possible absorption interference. Those with high calcium levels or kidney stone history may want to discuss use with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place after opening.
