Key Facts

Calcium is a mineral essential for bone structure, muscle contraction, and nerve signaling
Supports skeletal health and helps maintain bone density, particularly important for women approaching or past menopause
This formulation uses DiCalcium Malate, which delivers 29% elemental calcium per dose — significantly more concentrated than standard forms like calcium carbonate
Enhanced absorption means your body can actually use what you're taking, rather than it passing through unused

Ingredients

Calcium (as DimaCal® DiCalcium Malate) 250 mg per capsule.

Why We Chose This

Most adults fall short of the 1,300 mg daily calcium recommendation, with particular gaps among postmenopausal women, vegans, and those taking medications that interfere with absorption. DiCalcium Malate stands out because it binds calcium to malic acid, creating a compound that's nearly 50% more concentrated than calcium citrate and absorbs significantly better than calcium carbonate. This matters because bioavailability determines whether the mineral actually reaches your bones and muscles or simply passes through your system. For anyone navigating dietary restrictions, medication interactions, or age-related changes in mineral metabolism, this form delivers meaningful support without the bloating some experience with other calcium supplements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Calcium

What is the supporting research for the benefits of calcium?

Calcium plus vitamin D is associated with reduced total fracture risk. (fracture meta-analysis)
Daily calcium plus vitamin D is associated with lower hip fracture risk. (JAMA Network Open review)

How do I take calcium?

Take 1 capsule twice daily, or follow your healthcare provider's guidance for your specific needs.

DiCalcium Malate absorbs significantly better than standard calcium carbonate, delivering more elemental calcium per dose.

Can I take calcium with other supplements or medications?

Calcium can interact with certain medications like antibiotics, bisphosphonates, and blood pressure medicines, so timing matters. Separate calcium from these medications and iron supplements by at least 1-2 hours for optimal absorption.

There are no known adverse interactions with our calcium supplement at publication date, though consulting your healthcare provider about your specific medications remains important.

Who might benefit from taking calcium?

People at risk for calcium inadequacy benefit most — including postmenopausal women, vegans, those on certain medications, and anyone with vitamin D deficiency. Pregnant women, athletes with irregular periods, and dairy-free eaters also stand to gain from supplementation.

How long does it typically take to notice effects of calcium?

You may notice improved energy and muscle function within 1–2 weeks, though meaningful changes in bone density typically emerge over 1–3 months with consistent use.

Long-term benefits like stronger bones and sustained muscle support develop over 3–6 months, depending on your individual absorption rate and vitamin D status.
