super smart Calcium Orotate Combined With Magnesium Orotate

Calcium orotate is an exceptional calcium supplement designed to consolidate the skeleton. In the short term, it also helps normalise the nervous system and cardiovascular function. Its orotate form maximises its absorption and thus its efficacy.

Why take calcium in supplement form?

Of all the nutrients important for bone health, calcium is the most extensively-researched. Several studies have identified a correlation between increased intake of calcium and consolidation of bone mass. This mineral constitutes almost 2% of body weight, and is primarily concentrated in the bones and teeth.

Long-term benefits: it helps maintain the skeleton and reduce bone loss.

Short-term benefits: calcium also plays a key role in ensuring normal function of heart and nerve cells. It plays a role in hundreds of enzymatic processes involved in various physiological functions.

What is an orotate? What benefit does it offer?

Orotates are mineral salts of orotic acid, a natural substance present in the body and also found in several foods.

Calcium is always sold in the form of salts (citrate, malate, carbonate, lactate, gluconate, orotate …) but the quality of this salt can be crucial to the supplement’s efficacy. Calcium carbonate supplements are the most commonly-available products, and the cheapest, but they are poorly absorbed by those with lower-than-average levels of gastric acid, which is unfortunately the case for most people over 60. They can also cause constipation problems.
