Mattisson Calcium Citrate Malate Powder VeganWhat is calcium citrate/malate?
Calcium, also known as lime, is a mineral found in foods such as milk, cheese, nuts, vegetables, and legumes. Calcium citrate and malate are both organic forms of calcium. Calcium in its organic form is absorbed more efficiently than inorganic calcium forms such as calcium oxide or sulfate.
What is elemental calcium?
Elemental calcium refers to the pure, unbound form of the mineral calcium. This is the calcium that is directly available for absorption in the body and is used in dietary supplements and medicines. In the case of this powder, the elemental calcium content when taking 3 grams of powder is 660 mg. This is equivalent to 83% of the recommended daily allowance of calcium.
What foods contain calcium?
Calcium is found in various foods. For example, milk, yogurt, cheese, quark, broccoli, spinach, and bok choy contain calcium. Various fish species, such as sardines, salmon, and canned tuna, also contain calcium. Finally, calcium can be found in chickpeas, beans, almonds, chia seeds, and sesame seeds. The amount of calcium, of course, varies per foodstuff.
