Di-Calcium Malate (120 caps) by Metabolic Maintenance

Adequate calcium balance in the body is affected by many factors including absorption issues and dietary intake. Those at risk of inadequate calcium include vegans, peri, and postmenopausal women, and those with low vitamin D levels.

Our standalone calcium product now features an ingredient designed to make getting optimal amounts of this important bone health mineral easier. Di-calcium malate is more easily absorbed than common forms of calcium such as calcium carbonate and is more concentrated than forms like calcium citrate, meaning fewer capsules a day to provide optimal supplementation.

 

• Supports bone health.
• Promotes healthy nerve, cardiovascular, and muscle function.
• Concentrated and highly bioavailable form of calcium.

 

Each size 00 vegetarian cellulose capsule contains:

 

Calcium (as Di-Calcium Malate)

250 mg

 

Description: Our standalone calcium product now features an ingredient designed to make getting optimal amounts of this important bone health mineral easier. Di-calcium malate is easily absorbed and according to research, keeps calcium circulating in the body longer than other forms of supplemental calcium. Because the dicalcium form provides two molecules of elemental calcium, it is more concentrated than forms like calcium citrate, meaning fewer capsules a day to provide optimal supplementation.

 

Uses:

Calcium Supplementation: Adequate calcium balance in the body can be thrown off by many things including decreased absorption, low dietary intake, increased loss, or increased need. Those at risk of inadequate calcium include vegans, pre and postmenopausal women, and those with low vitamin D levels.

Bone Health: Bone tissue is primarily made up of protein and calcium. As bone tissue undergoes continuous remodeling, intake of minerals and amino acid substrates are crucial to support the formation of new bone. Dietary calcium and protein play active roles in bone metabolism. Diets high in either animal or plant-based protein (such as the standard American diet) are known to cause increased renal calcium excretion, increased bone resorption, decreased renal tubular calcium reabsorption, and physiochemical dissolution of bone tissue [2]. An inadequate intake of calcium can lead to a sequential reduction in the circulating ionized calcium concentration, which can lead to chronic increase in bone turnover and a steady loss of bone mass [2]. As most Americans do not take in adequate calcium from their diets, supplementing can balance circulating calcium levels, thereby supporting bone health and mitigating the above-mentioned risks [1].

Nerve Function: As calcium is also a necessary component in a myriad of cell signaling pathways, sufficient circulating calcium is critical for proper nerve function and cellular health throughout the body [3]. Proper neuronal processing, the contraction of cardiac cells, and gene transcription are just a few examples of cell processes that cannot be completed without sufficient cellular calcium [3].
