Thorne Calcium (Formerly DiCalcium Malate) Concentrated calcium for individuals at risk for calcium inadequacy. DiCalcium Malate (DimaCal), with 250 mg per capsule, is more concentrated than other forms of calcium (such as calcium carbonate), and is absorbed better than calcium carbonate. Individuals most at risk for inadequate calcium intake are Peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women, women with irregular menstruation, particularly women in which this is due to prolonged athletic activity or strenuous military service, individuals on a dairy-free diet, vegetarians and vegans, because their diets are higher in plant-derived phytates and oxalates that inhibit calcium absorption, pregnant women particularly women with a history of gestational hypertension, individuals 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, individuals with a vitamin D deficiency because vitamin D is necessary for calcium absorption. Recommended use: Take 1 capsule, 2 times daily or as directed by a health-care practitioner. Thorne Calcium (Formerly DiCalcium Malate) facts: 1 capsule contains: Calcium (as DiCalcium Malate) 250 mg Other Ingredients: Hypromellose (derived from cellulose) capsule, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Medium Chain Triglyceride Oil.
