Calcium Citrate
Calcium is an important mineral that helps your teeth and bones stay strong and healthy. About 99 percent of the calcium in your body is stored in your skeleton; the rest of it helps your body perform other important functions‚ like allowing your muscles to perform and making sure that blood can flow throughout your body. Calcium also helps your nerves send messages from your brain to the rest of the body.*
You can get calcium from dairy products like milk‚ cheese‚ and yogurt. Other sources of this mineral include broccoli‚ kale‚ salmon‚ tofu and fortified breakfast cereals.*
A calcium deficiency isn’t immediately apparent to the naked eye; your body will take calcium from your bones to make sure you have enough of it in your blood. Over time‚ this can cause your bones to become weaker and frailer. This can make them brittle and can fracture easily‚ interfering with your daily life and activities.*
Symptoms of very low calcium levels include tingling or numbness in your fingers‚ muscle spasms‚ and abnormal heart rhythms. Although these symptoms are serious and require prompt medical attention‚ they mainly occur in people who have other severe health problems.*
For a minor lack of calcium‚ Douglas Laboratories’ Calcium Citrate helps your body get enough calcium.*
Each capsule contains 250 mg of calcium citrate‚ which is easily absorbed by your body on a full or empty stomach. Each bottle of Calcium Citrate by Douglas Laboratories contains a 250-day supply when taken at the recommended dosage once daily.*
