Calcium citrate
There are many types of calcium on the market, but not all of them are well absorbed by all people. Many calcium supplements contain calcium carbonate, but this form of calcium is not very bioavailable in people with reduced stomach acid. Calcium citrate is much more bioavailable—that is, readily absorbed and used by the body. It is made from calcium carbonate, but it has been processed so that each molecule of calcium is bound to a molecule of citric acid. This enhances the stomach’s ability to break down the calcium and transfer it to the blood for distribution to the bones and teeth. This becomes increasingly important as we age. When we’re young, our stomachs produce plenty of hydrochloric acid, which helps us to break down food and supplements. But as we get older, our stomachs produce less hydrochloric acid. Although we need plenty of calcium in our early years to ensure that we build the bone strength that will get us through later life, it is also vital that we get adequate calcium through our middle and older years when we become more susceptible to osteoporosis. Magnesium and Vitamin D It is important to take calcium supplements with Vitamin D and magnesium, as these three nutrients work together. Without Vitamin D, our bodies can’t absorb calcium. Studies have confirmed that supplements that combine calcium and Vitamin D can decrease the risk of losing calcium from our bones as we grow older. Magnesium has two jobs: it converts Vitamin D to its active form, so that Vitamin D can help our bodies absorb calcium; and it ensures that calcium is absorbed by our bones. Studies have shown that good magnesium intake is connected with strong bones and poor magnesium intake is connected with osteoporosis. The magnesium in SISU Calcium and Magnesium Citrate is in the highly bioavailable citrate form. The Vitamin D is present as ergocalciferol, which is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
