Life Extension Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D
Life Extension Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D is a capsule supplement that combines calcium in its citrate form with vitamin D3. It is a sensible choice for adults, including older people, who want a calcium form that is easy for the body to absorb.
Key features
- Calcium as calcium citrate, a well-absorbed form
- Citrate dissolves readily, even with lower levels of stomach acid
- Added vitamin D3 to help the body absorb calcium
- Calcium and vitamin D contribute to the maintenance of normal bones
- Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system
Calcium is used by the body for much more than bone, including muscle contraction and nerve signalling. As we get older, stomach acid production tends to fall, which can make some calcium salts harder to absorb. Citrate is a popular alternative for this reason. It is wise to take calcium apart from high-fibre foods, which can interfere with mineral uptake.
Available in a pot of 200 vcaps.
