Citracal with Vitamin D, Maximum Dose 630 mg, 240 Caplets
Citracal is made with calcium citrate. Unlike calcium carbonate, (the main ingredient in many other calcium supplements,) calcium citrate does not need stomach acid to be broken down, and has unsurpassed absorption even when it is taken on an empty stomach. The manufacturers of calcium carbonate supplements recommend that their products be taken with meals in order to be absorbed by the body. Citracal can be taken at any time, without or without meals. The ease and efficiency with which our bodies process calcium citrate make it an ideal source of calcium. Citracal is also a logical choice for older individuals, because acid production decreases with age.
