Patient One Calcium Citrate supplies calcium in its preferred citrate form as the citrate salt of calcium is well absorbed and utilized by the body, offering optimal support for bone health, bone mineralization and overall skeletal strength. Our formula combines calcium citrate with cholecalciferol, a highly absorbable form of vitamin D, for enhanced nutritional benefits. Vitamin D3 is most noted for optimizing calcium bioavailability, thereby promoting bone strength.
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, predominantly found in the bones and teeth. Beyond promoting healthy bones, Calcium citrate is essential for multiple body functions including muscle contraction and relaxation, blood vessel contraction and expansion, the secretion of hormones and enzymes, sending messages through the nervous system, and supporting colon health.
D3’s ability to promote normal cell growth and metabolism provides additional benefits for cardiovascular, breast, colon, prostate and immune system health.
Calcium is a vital mineral that is often poorly supplied, ineffectively absorbed, or excreted faster than it is being assimilated. Each day, calcium is lost through skin, nails, hair, sweat, urine and feces, and the human body cannot produce new calcium. Bone mass naturally declines with age, and 55 percent of men and 78 percent of women aged 20 and over fail to get the recommended amount of calcium.
75% of Americans fail to reach recommended daily vitamin D intake, which doubles between ages 51 and 70, and triples over age 71, making supplementation increasingly important as we age.
