Product Description
Calcium Citrate (1000 mg):
- Role: Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and is crucial for building and maintaining strong bones and teeth. It also plays vital roles in muscle function, nerve transmission, blood clotting, and hormone secretion. Calcium citrate is a highly absorbable form of calcium that can be taken with or without food and is generally gentler on the stomach compared to calcium carbonate.
- Elemental Calcium: It's important to note that 1000 mg of calcium citrate does not mean 1000 mg of elemental calcium. Calcium citrate typically contains about 21% elemental calcium. So, 1000 mg of calcium citrate would provide approximately 210 mg of elemental calcium. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for calcium for adults is typically around 1000-1200 mg of elemental calcium,
