Details
A chelated form of calcium for enhanced absorption is more concentrated than other calcium forms, providing more calcium per capsule.
Calcium contributes to:
- normal muscle function
- normal blood clotting
- normal energy yielding metabolism
- normal functioning of digestive enzymes
- normal neurotransmittion
it also plays a role in
- the process of cell division and specialisation and the maintenance of normal bones and teeth
Individuals who may be at the most risk for calcium inadequacy – because of decreased intake, disordered metabolism, decreased absorption, increased loss, or increased need – include:
- Perimenopausal and postmenopausal women
- Women with amenorrhea, particularly those in which this condition is brought on by prolonged strenuous athletic activity or active military service
- Individuals on a dairy-free diet
- Vegetarians, because their diets tend to be higher in plant-derived phytates and oxalates that can inhibit calcium absorption
- Pregnant women, particularly those with a history of gestational hypertension
- Individuals with a vitamin D deficiency – because vitamin D is necessary for calcium absorption
