Calcium is also absorbed through passive diffusion in the intestine. Because the active route is saturable, larger single doses of calcium will rely on passive diffusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach dose provides just 1.8mg of calcium. This is a very low dose; the NRV for calcium is 800mg. So this supplement is ideal for accurately measured calcium supplementation. Calcium chloride is a soluble form of calcium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePregnant women will benefit from a higher calcium intake - the recommended intake is about 1,300mg. Infants and children require a lower intake of calcium; the recommended intake ranges from 240 mg per day for infants.\u003cbr\u003eIt is not recommended to exceed 1,500 mg daily calcium intake. High levels of calcium can lead to milk-alkali syndrome (MAS) and then to hypercalcaemia. Hypercalcaemia can cause lethargy, confusion and ultimately coma. People with renal failure or people taking diuretic medication are at increased risk of developing hypercalcaemia from high calcium intakes. It is also worth noting that higher doses of iron can inhibit iron absorption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body stores calcium - predominantly in the skeleton. Functional benefits of calcium supplementation will only be experienced if existing levels in the body are low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metabolics","offers":[{"title":"100ml","offer_id":48071717323084,"sku":"IOCA0100T","price":22.31,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250ml Refill","offer_id":48071717355852,"sku":"IOCA0250T","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500ml Refill","offer_id":48071717388620,"sku":"IOCA0500T","price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/6623\/0092\/files\/ionic-calcium-liquid-7736466.png?v=1768509737","url":"https:\/\/www.metabolics.com\/products\/calcium-chloride-drops","provider":"Metabolics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
