Product Description
Citracal - Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D is unique because it is calcium citrate, a highly soluble and absorbable form of calcium that allows the active calcium to be absorbed into your blood. Regular exercise and a healthy diet with enough calcium helps teens and young adult white and Asian women maintain good bone health and may reduce their high risk of osteoporosis later in life. Citracal is made with calcium citrate which research has shown offers benefits that other calcium sources do not. Unlike calcium carbonate, calcium citrate does not need stomach acid to be broken down, and has unsurpassed absorption even when it is taken on an empty stomach. Calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate supplements must be taken with meals in order to be absorbed by the body. Citracal can be taken at any time, without or without meals. Citracal is ideal for people taking acid-reducing agents such as antacids, H2 antagonists or prescription medications, such as Proton Pump Inhibitors like Prilosec. Citracal is also a logical choice for older individuals, because acid production decreases with age. It is also important to know that the makers of osteoporosis treatments such as Premarin, Fosamax, Miacalcin and Evista recommend that women get a calcium intake of 1,000 to 1,500 milligrams per day. As a calcium source, Citracal is a great choice to help maximize the benefits of prescription osteoporosis therapy. If you have one of the many inflammatory conditions such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, or inflammatory bowel disease, your therapy may include a steroid which side effects include bone loss. Citracal+D can help protect you from osteoporosis. Its action can limit bone breakdown and protect against developing thin and brittle bones. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

I have read that the form of calcium in this supplement is more easily absorbed by your body than other forms of calcium. Add that to the Vitamin D and a few other minerals and you create the best supplement for easiest calcium absorption, and no gas! This product has what I believe to be the best combination for post-menopausal women. I take it twice a day and exercise regularly.
