Description
Description
Calcium by Thorne provides this essential mineral in a chelated and concentrated form for enhanced absorption, with an optimal dose of 250 mg of elemental calcium per capsule.
Thorne Calcium provides highly absorbable dicalcium malate to support strong bones and teeth, along with optimal muscle and nerve function.*
The recommended daily intake of calcium for adults is 1000 mg, or about three servings of calcium-rich foods daily. Research indicates that a large proportion of adults in the United States are not meeting this recommendation through diet alone.
Each capsule of Thorne Calcium contains 250 mg of elemental calcium, bound to malic acid, which is more concentrated and better absorbed than conventional supplement forms of calcium, like calcium carbonate. Dicalcium malate consists of one molecule of malic acid that is bound to two molecules of calcium, which results in a compound that is 29% calcium – compared to, for example, calcium citrate, which is 19% calcium – thus resulting in more elemental calcium per capsule.
Who may benefit from Thorne Calcium
- Perimenopausal and postmenopausal women
- Women who over-exercise or are stressed, resulting in no or scanty menses
- Individuals on a dairy-free diet
- Vegetarians and vegans, because their diets are higher in plant-derived phytates and oxalates that inhibit calcium absorption
- Pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding
- Individuals on prescription and OTC medications such as antacids (H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors) that can inhibit absorption, or glucocorticoids such as prednisone that can increase calcium loss
- Individuals with a vitamin D deficiency – because vitamin D is necessary for calcium absorption
