Calcium Citrate: Fortifying Bones and Dental Health, Supporting Muscle and Heart Function

Calcium Citrate, 200 mg, Swanson is an essential dietary supplement for maintaining health and well-being. This product provides a high-quality form of calcium - calcium citrate - in an optimal dose of 200 mg to support various vital functions in the body.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body and plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy bones and teeth, contributing to their structural integrity and strength. Moreover, calcium is essential in the body's biochemical processes, including blood clotting, nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, and regulation of heart rhythm.
 

Calcium citrate is a easily absorbed form of calcium, making it an excellent choice for individuals with various digestive conditions or those who do not consume enough dairy products. It's important to note that this form of calcium is effective even in the absence of gastric acid, making it a suitable option for the elderly or those taking medications that reduce gastric acidity.

 

Calcium Citrate Benefits

 

• Bone Health:

Bone health is vital for an active life and for preventing osteoporosis, a condition characterized by fragile and fracture-prone bones. Swanson's calcium citrate helps maintain bone density and prevent bone loss, especially in postmenopausal women and the elderly.

 

• Dental Health:

Healthy teeth are essential for proper nutrition and quality of life. Calcium plays a key role in maintaining the structure and hardness of tooth enamel, protecting teeth from erosion and cavities.

 

• Muscle Function:

Calcium is indispensable for normal muscle contraction. Adequate calcium intake helps prevent muscle cramps and maintain healthy muscle function.

 

• Cardiovascular Health:

Calcium plays an important role in regulating blood pressure and the healthy functioning of the heart. By supporting muscle contraction and relaxation, including the cardiac muscle, calcium contributes to regular heart rhythm and the prevention of hypertension.

 

• Nervous System Regulation:

Calcium is vital for nerve signal transmission. Adequate calcium levels in the body ensure efficient communication between neurons, contributing to the proper functioning of the nervous system.

 

• Osteoporosis Prevention:

Osteoporosis, a condition characterized by weak and fragile bones, can be prevented with sufficient calcium intake. Supplementing with calcium citrate can reduce the risk of fractures and other complications associated with osteoporosis.

 

• Women's Health:

Calcium is especially important for women, especially during post-menopausal periods when the risk of osteoporosis significantly increases. Supplementing with calcium citrate can help maintain bone density and reduce the risk of fractures.

 

• Support During Pregnancy and Nursing:

During pregnancy and nursing, a woman's calcium needs are higher. Calcium citrate can support the healthy development of the fetus and provide adequate calcium intake for the mother, preventing bone demineralization.

 

• Elderly Support:

As people age, the absorption of calcium from food may decrease. Supplementing with calcium citrate can help prevent bone loss and maintain the health and mobility of the elderly.



 

Combining with Other Nutrients:

To maximize the absorption and effectiveness of calcium citrate, it is recommended to combine it with vitamin D, which facilitates calcium absorption into bones, and with magnesium, which contributes to calcium metabolism. Additionally, a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help maintain an optimal calcium level in the body.
