Thorne Research Calcium Chelate 250mg – 120 Capsules
Product Description
Thorne Research Calcium Chelate 250mg delivers a concentrated, highly bioavailable form of calcium crucial for maintaining strong bones and overall health. Unlike other calcium supplements, this formula utilizes DiCalcium Malate (DimaCal), a superior form of calcium that boasts significantly better absorption than calcium carbonate. Each capsule contains 29% calcium, exceeding the amount found in calcium citrate (19%).
Why Choose Thorne Research Calcium Chelate?
- Superior Absorption: DimaCal offers dramatically improved absorption compared to calcium carbonate, ensuring your body effectively utilizes the calcium.
- High Concentration: Each 1048mg capsule delivers 250mg of elemental calcium, providing a potent dose in a convenient form.
- Supports Bone Health: Calcium is essential for maintaining strong, healthy bones, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
- Ideal for High-Risk Individuals: This supplement is especially beneficial for individuals at increased risk of calcium deficiency, including:
- Postmenopausal women
- Women with irregular menstruation (especially those with intense athletic activity or demanding military service)
- Dairy-free individuals
- Vegetarians and vegans (due to phytic acid and oxalate content in plant-based diets)
- Pregnant women, particularly those with gestational hypertension
- Individuals taking medications like antacids (H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors) or glucocorticoids (e.g., prednisone) that can interfere with calcium absorption
- Individuals with vitamin D deficiency (as vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption)
