NOW Foods Calcium Hydroxyapatite
NOW Foods Calcium Hydroxyapatite is a capsule supplement providing microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCH), a whole-bone source of calcium and other nutrients naturally present in bone tissue.
Key features
- Bioavailable source of dietary calcium
- Contains calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, protein, minerals and amino acids found in bone
- Processed from young, pasture-fed Australian cattle
- Certified BSE-free source
- Calcium and magnesium contribute to the maintenance of normal bones
How it differs from other calcium
Most calcium products supply a single compound such as carbonate or citrate. MCH instead delivers calcium as it occurs in bone, alongside phosphorus and a mix of other minerals and amino acids. This gives a broader nutrient profile from one ingredient. As it is made from bovine bone, it is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
Available in a 120 caps tub.
