Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. 99% of calcium is found in bones and teeth and the rest in soft tissues. It is found in high amounts in dairy products. It is vital to maintain blood calcium levels for normal cell function. The body will actually demineralize bone to maintain normal blood calcium levels.

It is important to remember that vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption/utilisation of calcium and phosphorus and normal blood calcium levels, so adequate intake of vitamin D is vital (see vitamin D3/K2).
Calcium is best absorbed in an acid environment and in well documented studies; calcium citrate has demonstrated superior bioavailability. Calcium malate is also a highly bioavailable source of Calcium, the calcium salt of malic acid. This calcium product can be taken on an empty stomach or with food. However phytates found in cereals and teas can form insoluble complexes with calcium reducing its absorbability.
The Recommended Daily Allowance of Calcium alters with the different stage of life. Although broadly set at 800mg/day, according to the Institute of Medicine, 4-18 year olds should have 1000-1300mg/day, 19-50 year olds 1200mg/day and over 50’s 1,200mg for women and 1,000 mg for men.
Adequate intake of a calcium supplement is dependent on the level of dietary calcium, and the RDAs given are elemental calcium (not the compound). Each capsule of Metabolics Calcium Citrate/Malate supplies 10% RDA of calcium.
