Calcium Citrate Malate
Calcium citrate malate is a water-soluble calcium supplement, which contributes to its bioavailability. It is the calcium salt of citric acid and malic acid. This combination releases calcium ions and calcium citrate complexes directly into intestinal cells.
This can be used to maintain optimal calcium levels due to its high bioavailability. The water-soluble nature of this type of calcium is great in instances of low stomach acid known as hypochlorhydria, which typically includes the elderly and those on acid reducing medications.

Ingredient Benefits
Helps to facilitate calcium retention
Studies in human and animal trials showed more whole-body retention of calcium citrate malate than calcium values from milk. The human trials included healthy adolescents 10-17 years old as well as postmenopausal women 40-70 years old.
Promotes the consolidation and maintenance of bone mas
Calcium citrate malate is highly absorbed in the intestinal cells and is highly bioavailable for those over 40 with lowered stomach acid and those on acid reducing drugs. Studies have discovered that this form of calcium is retained in the bone mass and can prevent fractures.
Has a role in dental care and promotes strong teeth
Calcium citrate malate supplementation has been shown to preserve tooth loss associated with systemic bone loss. The blood calcium levels need to stay balanced so the body will draw needed calcium from bone in the body including from the teeth.
This calcium source does not increase the risk of kidney stones due to the malic acid increasing citrate excretion and increases urinary pH. In fact, it can help protect against the formation of stones.
