{"product_id":"calcium-citrate-with-vitamin-d","title":"Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D","description":"\u003cp\u003eCalcium is the most abundant mineral in the body ... primarily found in the bones and teeth. In bone formation, calcium forms crystals that provide strength to maturing bone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium is needed for more than just healthy bones. It is also important for muscle contraction, blood vessel contraction and expansion, the secretion of hormones and enzymes, and sending messages through the nervous system. A meta-analysis of 56 clinical trials demonstrated a significant impact on heart health as a result of increased calcium intake by 1,000 to 2,000 mg\/day. In addition, scientific evidence suggests that increased intake of calcium may help to maintain optimal weight as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium is an essential mineral that is often inadequately supplied, inefficiently absorbed, or excreted faster than it is being assimilated. The citrate salt of calcium has been documented to be well absorbed and utilized by the body.7-10 This is the form many doctors and nutritionists recommend. Calcium citrate dissolves easily even if one doesn't have much stomach acid. Many people naturally produce less acid as they age, so calcium citrate is a good choice for older adults. The addition of vitamin D3 is also critically important because it stimulates calcium absorption and promotes healthy bone density. However, as people age, they often lose the ability to make vitamin D3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium and other minerals are best not taken with fiber, because fiber can interfere with their absorption. There is evidence that calcium from supplements and dairy foods may inhibit iron absorption, although it has been very difficult to distinguish between the effects of calcium on iron absorption versus other inhibitory factors, such as phytate. Although current understanding of this suggests that the inhibition of calcium on absorption of iron is of short duration and the body has adaptive mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium supplements are best taken with meals. They should always be taken with a full glass of water, juice, or other liquid to enhance solubility. If calcium-containing formulas are taken only once daily, they may be best taken in the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalcium Citrate with Vitamin D - 200 vcaps\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalcium and Vitamin D3 Food Supplement in Vegetarian Capsules\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"group TyagGW_tableContainer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TyagGW_tableWrapper flex flex-col-reverse w-fit\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"w-fit min-w-(--thread-content-width)\" height=\"110\" style=\"width: 74.0986%;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"last:pe-10\" style=\"width: 33.5756%;\"\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"last:pe-10\" style=\"width: 57.3507%;\"\u003eRecommended daily dose (1 Vegetarian Capsule)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"last:pe-10\" style=\"width: 8.53001%;\"\u003e%NRV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.5756%;\"\u003eVitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 57.3507%;\"\u003e2.50 µg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 8.53001%;\"\u003e50%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.5756%;\"\u003eCalcium (as Calcium Citrate)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 57.3507%;\"\u003e200 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 8.53001%;\"\u003e25%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNRV - Nutrient Reference Value;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol), Calcium (as Calcium Citrate), Vegetable cellulose (capsule), stearic acid, vegetable stearate, silica, modified food starch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Take one (1) capsule, one to four times daily with food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarnings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep out of reach of children.
