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\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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThose individuals most at risk for inadequate calcium intake are:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Note: These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
