Individuals who are at the most risk for calcium inadequacy because of decreased intake, disordered metabolism, decreased absorption, increased loss, or increased need include peri- and postmenopausal women, vegans, individuals who take certain prescription and OTC medications, and those with a vitamin D deficiency (because vitamin D is necessary for calcium absorption).* Thorne's Calcium, as DiCalcium Malate, with 250 mg per capsule, is more concentrated than other forms of calcium (such as calcium carbonate), and is absorbed significantly better than calcium carbonate.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium consists of one molecule of malic acid that is bound to two molecules of calcium, which results in a compound that is 29-percent calcium – compared to calcium citrate, which is 19-percent calcium – thus resulting in more elemental calcium per capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg\u003eThose individuals most at risk for inadequate calcium intake are:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeri-menopausal and post-menopausal women\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWomen with irregular menstruation, particularly women in which this is due to prolonged athletic activity or strenuous military service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividuals on a dairy-free diet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegetarians and vegans, because their diets are higher in plant-derived phytates and oxalates that inhibit calcium absorption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePregnant women, particularly women with a history of gestational hypertension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividuals on prescription and OTC medications such as antacids (H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors) that can inhibit absorption, or glucocorticoids such as prednisone that can increase calcium loss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividuals with a vitamin D deficiency – because vitamin D is necessary for calcium absorption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-teams=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis product has been third-party tested and certified to verify what's in the package matches what's on the label and to confirm it contains no unsafe levels of contaminants, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and microorganisms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuggested Use:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake 1 capsule two times daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarnings:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALLERGY WARNING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePREGNANCY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINTERACTIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no known adverse interactions or contraindications at publication date.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thorne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46181297651862,"sku":"M281","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/8840\/5654\/files\/m281__v0eba4b643c65deb5775ba03a5b2644494e4918b7_d8ba5d9a-071e-4db3-b079-c7e15974ff03.png?v=1780088659","url":"https:\/\/shop.equinox.com\/products\/calcium-1","provider":"The Shop at Equinox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
