Calcium Citrate 250 mg

Calcium Citrate

Calcium Citrate 250 mg, by Douglas Laboratories, supplies elemental calcium from calcium citrate. Calcium is a primary mineral for building the strong structure of bones and teeth.

Indications

• Support for bone health

Functions

The adult human body contains approximately 1 to 2 percent calcium, about 99% of which is present in the skeleton. Bone is constantly turning over, a continuous process of formation and resorption. In children and adolescents, the rate of bone mineral formation predominates over the rate of resorption.

In later life, resorption predominates over formation. Therefore, in normal aging, there is a gradual loss of bone. Calcium citrate provides a highly beneficial source of dietary calcium that assists in the maintenance of healthy bone structure and function.

In addition, calcium is essential to maintain and perform cellular signaling in many physiological functions, including muscle contraction, neuronal excitability, and cell growth.
