• Product form: Capsule
• Size: 120 Vegetarian Capsules

More calcium per capsule

• DiCalcium Malate (DimaCal) is more concentrated than other well-absorbed forms of calcium.
• Increased concentration translates to more calcium per capsule - 250 mg per capsule.
• DiCalcium Malate is significantly better absorbed that calcium carbonate.

Product Description

DiCalcium Malate consists of one molecule of malic acid bound to two molecules of calcium, resulting in a compound that is 29-percent calcium, compared to calcium citrate, which is 19-percent calcium - allowing for more elemental calcium per capsule.

Research suggests that diet, by itself, for a large proportion of the adult population, does not supply adequate amounts of calcium. One measure of an adequate supply of calcium is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's recommended daily intake of 1,300 mg. Individuals who may be at the most risk for calcium inadequacy - because of decreased intake, disordered metabolism, decreased absorption, increased loss, or increased need - include:

• Perimenopausal and postmenopausal women
• Individuals on a dairy-free diet
• Vegetarians, because their diets tend to be higher in plant-derived phytates and oxalates that can inhibit calcium absorption
• Pregnant women, particularly those with a history of gestational hypertension
• Individuals with a vitamin D deficiency - because vitamin D is necessary for calcium absorption
