NOW Foods Calcium Citrate 240 Veg Capsules

NOW® Calcium Citrate delivers calcium in the citrate form — one of the most readily digested and absorbed forms of the mineral, which doesn't require stomach acid for absorption and can be taken with or without food. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and the primary structural component of bones and teeth, where about 99% of the body's calcium is stored. It's also essential for muscle contraction, nerve signaling and normal blood clotting. Because the body cannot make calcium and continually draws on its reserves, an adequate daily intake — from diet and, when needed, supplements — is important for building and maintaining a strong skeleton throughout life.* This is a complete bone-metabolism formula, pairing calcium citrate with supporting minerals and vitamin D to help the body absorb and use the calcium effectively.*

Cautions & interactions

As with any supplement, talk to your doctor before adding this product to your routine if you are pregnant or nursing, taking prescription medication, or managing a health condition. Keep it out of reach of children, store in a cool, dry place, and don't exceed the recommended serving. If you take a multivitamin or several supplements, review the combined amounts so you don't unintentionally double up on the same nutrient. Calcium can interfere with the absorption of certain medications (including some thyroid medications and antibiotics), so separate them by a few hours and check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take prescription medicines.
