What Is Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D3?
Highly abundant in the body, but mostly found in bones and teeth,
calcium supports bone health and encourages a healthy nervous system and
muscle function. Vitamin D is included to encourage calcium absorption
to help maintain healthy bone density and promote overall bone health.
Our formula contains super-absorbable essential vitamins and minerals,
vitamin D, and calcium to support bone health.
Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D Benefits
Supports bone health
Maintains blood vessel contraction & expansion
Super-absorbable capsule promotes optimal calcium intake
Promotes healthy bone density
Calcium: Not Just In Milk
Maintaining healthy bones by supplementing with calcium isn’t a new
concept. While present in many food sources, calcium
supplementation can be important to help maintain bone health. Our
super-absorbable capsules provide 200 mg of calcium and 100 IU of
vitamin D3 per serving, taking the guesswork out of maintaining
optimal calcium levels.
Product Details
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and is
primarily found in the bones and teeth. In bone formation,
calcium forms crystals that provide strength to maturing bone.
For more than bones
Calcium supports more than just healthy bones. It’s also
important for muscle contraction, blood vessel contraction,
and expansion, secretion of hormones and enzymes, and
sending messages through the nervous system.1 A
meta-analysis of 40 clinical trials demonstrated a
significant impact on already-healthy blood pressure as a
result of increased calcium intake by an average 1,200
mg/day.2 In addition, scientific research suggests that
increased intake of calcium may help maintain a healthy
weight.3,4
Calcium is an essential mineral that is often inadequately
supplied, inefficiently absorbed, or excreted faster than
it is assimilated.5 The citrate salt of calcium has been
shown to be well absorbed and utilized by the body.6 This
is the form many doctors and nutritionists recommend.
Calcium citrate dissolves easily, even if one doesn’t have
ample stomach acid. As many people naturally produce less
acid as they age, calcium citrate is a good choice for
older adults.1,7 The addition of vitamin D3 encourages
calcium absorption and promotes healthy bone density.
However, as people age, they often lose the ability to make
vitamin D3.8
