Mattisson Calcium citrate malate veganWhat is calcium citrate/malate?
Calcium, also known as lime, is a mineral found in foods such as milk, cheese, nuts, vegetables, and legumes. Calcium citrate and malate are both organic forms of calcium. Calcium in the organic form is absorbed more efficiently than inorganic forms of calcium such as calcium oxide or sulfate.
What is elemental calcium?
Elemental calcium refers to the pure, unbound form of the mineral calcium. This is the calcium that is directly available for absorption in the body and is used in dietary supplements and medications. In the case of these capsules, the elemental content of calcium when taking 2 capsules is 174 mg. This is equivalent to 22% of the recommended daily allowance of calcium.
Where is calcium found?
Calcium is found in various foods. For example, milk, yogurt, cheese, quark, broccoli, spinach, and pak choi contain calcium. Calcium is also present in various types of fish, such as sardines, salmon, and canned tuna. Finally, calcium can be found in chickpeas, beans, almonds, and sesame seeds. The amount of calcium varies by food source.
Calcium supports the maintenance of strong bones, the preservation of a strong dental structure, contributes to normal blood clotting, and normal cell division.
Calcium also supports energy levels, is good for muscle function, and is important for the nervous system.
