Calcium Factor+ 350 mg

Feature Summary

Calcium citrate is very well absorbed, particularly if taken on an empty stomach and may be the preferred form of calcium, especially for those with low stomach acid. Studies show that mineral citrates have superior absorption, especially when taken on an empty stomach.

Calcium is required for strong bones, teeth and cardiac function. Calcium not only builds strong bones and teeth but maintains bone density and strength. It helps to regulate heartbeat, blood clotting, muscle contraction, and may prevent certain cancers.

Contraindications

• Aluminum-containing antacids are known to ultimately lead to an increase in bone breakdown and calcium excretion.
• The bone building drug etidronate (Didronel^®) and tetracycline antibiotics should not be taken within 2 hours of calcium supplements as the calcium may decrease their effectiveness.
• Calcium supplementation may also reduce the effectiveness of the following drugs: digoxin, gallium nitrate (Ganite^®), and phenytoin (Dilantin^®).
• If you are taking any of these drugs, consult your health care practitioner before taking a calcium supplement.
