Thorne Research Calcium Chelate 250mg - 120 Capsules

Product Description

Thorne Research Calcium Chelate 250mg delivers a concentrated, highly bioavailable form of calcium crucial for maintaining strong bones and overall health. Unlike other calcium supplements, this formula utilizes DiCalcium Malate (DimaCal), a superior form of calcium that boasts significantly better absorption than calcium carbonate. Each capsule contains 29% calcium, exceeding the amount found in calcium citrate (19%).

Why Choose Thorne Research Calcium Chelate?

• Superior Absorption: DimaCal offers dramatically improved absorption compared to calcium carbonate, ensuring your body effectively utilizes the calcium.
• High Concentration: Each 1048mg capsule delivers 250mg of elemental calcium, providing a potent dose in a convenient form.
• Supports Bone Health: Calcium is essential for maintaining strong, healthy bones, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
• Ideal for High-Risk Individuals: This supplement is especially beneficial for individuals at increased risk of calcium deficiency, including:
  • Postmenopausal women
  • Women with irregular menstruation (especially those with intense athletic activity or demanding military service)
  • Dairy-free individuals
  • Vegetarians and vegans (due to phytic acid and oxalate content in plant-based diets)
  • Pregnant women, particularly those with gestational hypertension
  • Individuals taking medications like antacids (H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors) or glucocorticoids (e.g., prednisone) that can interfere with calcium absorption
  • Individuals with vitamin D deficiency (as vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption)
• Gluten-Free: Suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
