What is calcium citrate?

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, and most of it is found in the bones and teeth. We get calcium mainly from dairy products, but also from calcium-fortified plant drinks, green leafy vegetables, legumes, almonds and sesame seeds. Calcium citrate is a compound of calcium and citric acid, i.e. the calcium salt of citric acid. The manufacturer binds calcium to citric acid so that the powder mixes more easily into drinks. The nutrition table shows the amount of calcium both per 100 g of powder and per daily dose.

How to use?

Take one and a half level teaspoons (about 3 g) of powder once a day with a meal. For best results, blend the powder into a pulpy juice such as tomato or orange juice. Measure the dose with a dry spoon and close the container carefully after use. At the recommended use, one pack lasts about 76 days. If you use other calcium-containing food supplements at the same time, take their amounts into account too.
