NOW Foods Calcium Hydroxyapatite 120 Capsules

NOW® Calcium Hydroxyapatite is processed from Australian, certified BSE-free bovine bone and supplies calcium in the microcrystalline hydroxyapatite form — the same mineral complex that makes up the structure of human bone. Because it delivers calcium and phosphorus in the natural ratio and molecular form found in bone, along with trace minerals and the collagen matrix, many consider it a especially bioavailable, whole-food-style calcium source. 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 makes it a favorite among those seeking a natural, bone-derived calcium.*

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.
