NOW Foods Calcium Lactate 250 Tablets

NOW® Calcium Lactate supplies calcium in the lactate form — a stable, bioavailable and well-tolerated source of the mineral in an easy-to-swallow tablet. 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.* Calcium lactate is absorbed well and is gentle on the stomach, and unlike calcium carbonate it doesn't rely as heavily on stomach acid, making it a versatile everyday option. It's a straightforward, effective way to help meet your daily calcium needs for strong bones and teeth.*

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.
