 Different types of calcium
There are a number of delivery systems available to meet your individual needs. For instance, if you dislike swallowing tablets consider trying an alternative such as a capsule, liquid or soft chew, it won’t do you much good if it stays in the bottle.
Different types of calcium:
Calcium Citrate Malate (CCM)
Calcium Citrate Malate is the most absorbable calcium available. This patented ingredient combines calcium carbonate with citric acid (from citrus fruits) and malic acid (from apples) that help to increase calcium absorption.
Studies in post-menopausal women over the age of 55 demonstrate that CCM results in 70% less bone loss when compared to a diet without calcium supplementation and 40% less bone loss when compared to a diet with ordinary calcium carbonate supplementation.
Calcium Carbonate
Calcium carbonate is mined from the earth and has been one of the most commonly used sources of supplemental calcium. Calcium carbonate is the most economical form of calcium and is available in a variety of tablets, capsules and chewables. It is suggested to take calcium carbonate with meals for maximum calcium absorption.
Calcium Citrate
Combines calcium with citric acid to reduce the amount of
stomach acids needed for calcium absorption.
