Calcium citrate

Calcium citrate combines calcium with citric acid and provides approximately 21% elemental calcium by weight. Its solubility depends less on stomach acidity than calcium carbonate.

• Scientific identity: Calcium Citrate; ingredient form: Tricalcium dicitrate.
• How it works: Dissolves independently of stomach acid: The citrate pairing keeps the calcium soluble whether or not stomach acid is plentiful, unlike calcium carbonate. Absorbed in the small intestine: Freed calcium ions are taken up along the gut wall, actively at lower doses and passively at higher ones.
• Primary function: Calcium supports normal bone structure, tooth maintenance, muscle contraction and nerve signalling.
• What it supports: Calcium Citrate helps build the mineral foundation for stronger-feeling daily movement, dependable muscle function and long-term bone maintenance.
• Important consideration: The elemental mineral amount is more meaningful than the weight of its source compound.

CARPEDIEM selected Calcium Citrate for a clearly defined role within a thoughtfully balanced formulation.

• Formulation purpose: Calcium supports normal bone structure, tooth maintenance, muscle contraction and nerve signalling.
• Used in: CARPEDIEM BoneMax and CARPEDIEM Women’s Bone & Daily Wellness Stack.
• Works alongside: Calcium Citrate complements Vitamin D3 and Magnesium to support balanced daily mineral nutrition.
• Meaningful contribution: Calcium Citrate helps build the mineral foundation for stronger-feeling daily movement, dependable muscle function and long-term bone maintenance. Contributes to normal muscle contraction, including the everyday mechanics of movement.
• Quality and scientific context: The elemental mineral amount is more meaningful than the weight of its source compound. 1 ingredient-specific study is included because the research reports a relevant benefit.
