Uses of Calcium Supplement

Calcium Supplements may be used to treat conditions caused by low calcium levels such as

• Bone loss (osteoporosis)
• Weak bones (osteomalacia/rickets)
• Decreased activity of the parathyroid gland (hypoparathyroidism)
• Certain muscle disease (latent tetany- spasm or cramping of hands and feet)

How to Choose a Right Calcium Supplement

1. Choosing the right Calcium Compound

Calcium in supplement is found in combination with other substances. Elemental calcium is the amount of calcium actually used by the body. Consumers may look for Calcium compounds that contain higher amount of elemental calcium in their supplement.

• Calcium carbonate (40% elemental calcium)
• Calcium citrate (21% elemental calcium)
• Calcium gluconate (9% elemental calcium)
• Calcium lactate (13% elemental calcium)

Although calcium citrate is easily absorbed in the body but since it contains only 21% of elemental calcium, one may need to take high dosage of this compound. Hence, Calcium carbonate is suitable since it contains the highest amount of elemental calcium (about 40%) than other compounds and needs to be taken in comparatively smaller doses.

GNC Calcium plus 600 mg with Magnesium and Vitamin D3 contains Calcium carbonate, the most abundant form of element calcium compound.

2. Presence of nutrients that absorbs Calcium efficiently

Mineral Magnesium and Vitamin D3 work in synergy in absorbing calcium. Magnesium helps in conversion of Vitamin D in its active form known as Calcitriol which in turn plays a major role in improving the concentration of Calcium. Both Magnesium and Vitamin D3 are present in GNC's Calcium Plus that enhances the absorption of calcium in our body.
