The citrate salt of calcium has been documented to be
well absorbed and utilized by the body. Calcium is important in preventing
a number of diseases in addition to osteoporosis. It blocks the absorption
into the bloodstream of free radical generating iron. Since many people
have too much iron in their bodies, it makes sense to take calcium with
those meals that contain high iron levels.
Reducing iron levels is especially important for
hepatitis C patients who suffer liver cell damage when the hepatitis virus
interacts with iron. Be careful not to take calcium with food containing
fiber, because fiber significantly intereferes with mineral absorption. It
is best to take calcium supplements at night on an empty stomach. Also,
since calcium will block iron absorption, avoid taking calcium with meals
if you are iron deficient.
Calcium is an essential mineral that is often inadequately
supplied, inefficiently absorbed, or excreted faster than it is being
assimilated.47 The citrate
salt of calcium has been documented to be well absorbed and utilized
by the body.48-51
