Feature Summary

Calcium citrate is very well absorbed, particularly if taken on an empty stomach and may be the preferred form of calcium, especially for those with low stomach acid. Studies show that mineral citrates have superior absorption, especially when taken on an empty stomach.

Calcium is required for strong bones, teeth and cardiac function. Calcium not only builds strong bones and teeth but maintains bone density and strength. It helps to regulate heartbeat, blood clotting, and muscle contraction.
