What is calcium citrate?
Calcium citrate is the calcium salt of citric acid, whereby the citric acid is neutralized by calcium during production. [1]
What does calcium citrate do?
Calcium is an organic calcium compound with high bioavailability, meaning that the body can optimally absorb the mineral[1].
The mineral calcium is required in the body for a variety of functions. The best known is the importance of calcium for bones and teeth, but calcium is also needed for blood clotting. In addition, muscle function and the transmission of signals between nerve cells depend on sufficient calcium levels in the blood. Energy metabolism is also promoted by calcium. [2]
The following statements about the effect of calcium have been scientifically proven:
- Calcium contributes to normal blood clotting
- Calcium contributes to normal energy metabolism
- Calcium contributes to normal muscle function
- Calcium contributes to normal neurotransmission
- Calcium contributes to the normal function of digestive enzymes
- Calcium has a role in the process of cell division and specialization
- Calcium is required for the maintenance of normal bones
- Calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal teeth
Which calcium supplement is best?
Scientific studies indicate that calcium citrate has a higher bioavailability than calcium carbonate. [ 3 ] The difference between calcium citrate and calcium carbonate is that calcium citrate is an organic compound and calcium carbonate is an inorganic compound. While calcium citrate is a calcium salt of citric acid, calcium carbonate is a calcium salt of carbonic acid (carbonate). [ 4 ] For this reason, calcium citrate is always preferable when supplementing calcium.
Now Foods Calcium Citrate Pure Powder is particularly suitable for people who find it difficult to swallow tablets or capsules. The powder can easily be mixed into a drink of your choice or with food.
