So, what is calçium citrate?

Calcium citrate is a dietary supplement of calcium, a mineral that plays an important role in bone health and muscle function. Unlike other forms of calcium supplements, calcium citrate is easily absorbed by the body, making it an excellent choice for those who struggle with low levels of stomach acid or absorption issues. It is also commonly used as a food additive to provide a sour taste or as a buffering agent in processed foods. Calcium citrate is often recommended for individuals with osteoporosis, but it should be taken in moderation as excessive intake may lead to adverse effects such as kidney stones.
