Calcium Supplements To Keep You Living Longer

Calcium Citrate

Contrary to most forms of calcium, calcium citrate has an acidic base, which means it is better absorbed into the digestive tract because it requires less production of natural stomach acids. It contains approximately twenty percent of elemental calcium. According to the New York State Department of Health, calcium citrate is the only form of calcium that does not require stomach acid to metabolize it and t can be taken with or without food. Calcium citrate is recommended for people with low levels of dietary calcium who take acid-blocking medications.
