New Roots Calcium Citrate and Vitamin D 150 capsules

Calcium is a major essential mineral that is often inadequately supplied by dietary means, poorly absorbed, and often excreted at a rate faster than we assimilate it.Calcium citrate is a highly bioavailable source of elemental calcium which helps reduce the risk of osteoporosis (decreased bone density), a predominant health concern for postmenopausal women. This disease is not exclusive to women, as men account for over 25% of osteoporosis-related hip fractures annually in Canada. It also serves to prevent the absorption of free radical€“generating iron into the bloodstream.Calcium Citrate is formulated with vitamin D3, the biologically active form of vitamin D responsible for the absorption and mineralization of calcium for the maintenance of a strong skeletal system.
