THORNE Calcium 250 mg Dietary Supplement Capsules 120 per Bottle

Roughly 20% of the U.S. population is lactose intolerant: This may partly explain why a large proportion of the U.S. adult population does not get enough calcium in their diets. Individuals who are at the most risk for calcium inadequacy include peri- and post-menopausal women, individuals who take certain prescription and over-the-counter medications (e.g. Prilosec), and those with a vitamin D deficiency (because vitamin D is necessary for calcium absorption). Thorne's chelated calcium, as di-calcium malate, with 250 milligrams per capsule, is absorbed better than the calcium carbonate found in most calcium supplements. Take Thorne's Chelated Calcium so your body will actually get all the calcium it needs.

• An extra kick of concentrated calcium: Dicalcium malate provides more calcium per capsule for those at risk of deficiency.
• The chelated calcium, found in Thorne's calcium dietary supplement, contains fully reacted calcium glycinate chelate for optimal absorption and is a timed-release formula, so it disintegrates over a period of up to 2 hours.
• Chelated calcium takes advantage of three pathways of absorption by providing calcium in the hydroxyapatite, di-calcium malate and glycinate forms.
• Chelated minerals are bound to compounds like amino or organic acids, which may boost your body's uptake, in this instance, of calcium.
• One bottle contains 120 capsules – each manufactured without fillers which can inhibit absorption.
