Why calcium citrate
Not all calcium supplements are the same. The two most common forms are calcium carbonate and calcium citrate. Major health organizations note that calcium citrate:
- Can be taken with or without food, since it does not depend as heavily on stomach acid for absorption*
- Is often better absorbed in older adults or in people who use acid‑reducing medications*
- Is a solid option for individuals who experience gas or bloating with high‑dose carbonate tablets*
For accessible overviews on calcium forms and absorption, see: NIH Office of Dietary Supplements – Calcium Fact Sheet , MedlinePlus: Calcium , and Harvard Health: Choosing a calcium supplement . These resources explain why calcium citrate is often recommended when acid production is low or digestion is more sensitive.*
How calcium supports bone health and more*
About 99 percent of the calcium in your body is stored in bones and teeth, where it provides structure and hardness. The remaining 1 percent in blood and tissues is critical for:
- Bone density and skeletal strength*
- Healthy teeth*
- Muscle contraction and relaxation*
- Nerve signaling*
- Normal blood clotting*
Research consistently shows that getting enough calcium, along with vitamin D and physical activity, helps support bone mineral density across the lifespan.* For example, randomized trials have reported that calcium supplementation can help maintain bone density in postmenopausal women and older adults when dietary intake is inadequate.* If you want to dig into the science, you can review: NIH Health Professional Calcium Fact Sheet and controlled trial summaries in journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine and Annals of Internal Medicine .
Remember that supplements are meant to help fill gaps. They do not replace a calcium‑rich diet or medical treatment for diagnosed bone disease. Always work with your healthcare provider on a complete plan for osteoporosis or osteopenia.
How our Calcium Citrate fits into your bone health routine*
Calcium Citrate 250 mg works best as part of a full bone‑health strategy that includes adequate calcium intake from food, vitamin D3, vitamin K2, magnesium, and regular weight‑bearing exercise.*
- Round out your bone stack: Use Calcium Citrate alongside Bones + K2 Comprehensive Bone Support or Nice Bones for additional calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin K2, and trace minerals.*
- Add vitamin D3 and K2: Many people also pair calcium with Everyday Liquid Sunshine 2 – D3 + K2 . Our article Vitamin D3 & K2: The Ultimate Guide explains how D3 helps you absorb calcium and K2 helps direct it into bones and teeth.*

Suggested use
Follow the directions on your bottle or your practitioner’s guidance. A common approach is:
- Take 1 capsule, 1 to 2 times daily with water, or as directed by your healthcare provider.*
- Many experts suggest not exceeding 500 mg of supplemental calcium at a time, since the body absorbs smaller doses more efficiently.*
- Account for calcium from diet and any other supplements when planning your total daily intake.
If you have a history of kidney stones, high blood calcium, parathyroid disorders, or are taking medications that affect calcium levels, talk with your healthcare practitioner before adding a calcium supplement.
