Calcium citrate - 630 mg calcium per daily dose (4 capsules) - 180 capsules

Calcium citrate for a reliable, uncomplicated supply of calcium

Calcium citrate is a particularly well‑soluble form of calcium. This important mineral is needed daily for strong bones and teeth, muscle function and normal digestion. In everyday life, however, intake often depends on life stage and on what and when is eaten. This is exactly where calcium citrate comes in: a form that is not bound to such conditions.

Unlike other forms of calcium such as calcium carbonate, the absorption of calcium citrate is less dependent on stomach acid production. This can be particularly relevant when digestive conditions change in daily life or the digestive system is especially sensitive. For this reason, particularly sensitive and older people, menopausal women and those who are physically very active benefit from our vegan Calcium citrate capsules. One daily dose covers 79% of the recommended daily intake of calcium.

What is in Calcium citrate capsules from Unimedica?

Calcium citrate is an organic compound of calcium and citric acid. Our Calcium citrate capsules consist solely of a calcium citrate compound, encapsulated in cellulose.

What are the benefits of calcium citrate?

Because the acid in calcium citrate is already present due to the binding of calcium to citric acid, no special stomach acid environment is required for the optimal utilisation of calcium. This form dissolves evenly in the digestive system regardless of external factors such as meals, making calcium uptake in the body particularly straightforward.

Calcium – the foundation for strong bones at every age

Calcium is an essential mineral for our body. Bone mass is built up until about the age of 30, with calcium playing a key role in the stable structure. The foundation for strong bones is therefore laid in the younger years. With increasing age, bone mass then gradually declines. Particularly around the menopause, the body changes and often bone density is especially affected.

To maintain healthy bones, exercise is needed alongside certain vitamins and sufficient calcium. Calcium is also required daily in every life stage for the maintenance of teeth, normal muscle function, digestion and numerous other important bodily functions and metabolic processes. It contributes to the transmission of signals between nerve cells as well as to normal energy metabolism. Processes such as normal blood clotting and the function of digestive enzymes also fall within its range of functions. In addition, calcium has a role in cell division.

Where calcium is found in foods

Calcium naturally occurs in dairy products, green vegetables, nuts and seeds. Mineral water can also provide relevant amounts. Nevertheless, actual intake varies greatly – depending on dietary style, life stage and individual habits. Targeted supplementation can provide stability here – regardless of what is on the plate each day.

Flexible in everyday life

Supplementary calcium intake can be useful when certain life stages or diets make consistent supply difficult. The body's handling of minerals changes over the course of life. Calcium is important in youth for building and later for maintaining strong bones. The body's ability to absorb and utilise calcium can also change over time. We took this into account when developing our Calcium citrate capsules.

The calcium‑citric acid compound is not only high quality. It primarily supports calcium absorption regardless of the acid environment and individual physical conditions. It can be taken independently of meals, providing flexibility in everyday life.

Benefits*

Calcium contributes to:

• the maintenance of normal bones

• normal muscle function

• the maintenance of normal teeth

• normal blood clotting

• normal energy metabolism

• normal transmission of nerve impulses

• the normal function of digestive enzymes

• reduction of the loss of bone mineral in post‑menopausal women. Low bone mineral density is a risk factor for osteoporotic fractures. The positive effect is achieved with a daily intake of at least 400 mg of calcium per serving and at least 1200 mg of calcium from all sources.

• In addition, calcium has a role in cell division.
