DiCalcium Malate: A Highly Absorbable and Well-Tolerated Calcium for Bone Support
Thorne’s DiCalcium Malate provides a superior form of calcium, an essential mineral for building and maintaining strong bones. This formula features DimaCal®, a patented form of dicalcium malate that is more concentrated and significantly better absorbed than many other forms of calcium, such as calcium carbonate. Because of its excellent absorbability and solubility, DiCalcium Malate is also less likely to cause the gas, bloating, and constipation often associated with calcium supplementation, making it a gentle and effective choice for foundational bone support.
How It Works: The DimaCal® Advantage
The key to an effective calcium supplement lies in its bioavailability. DimaCal® is a chelated form of calcium, meaning it is bound to malic acid, an organic acid found naturally in apples.
Superior Absorption for Stronger Bones
This chelation process creates a stable molecule that is easily absorbed by the intestines. Unlike calcium carbonate, which requires a high level of stomach acid to be broken down, dicalcium malate is soluble even in a higher pH environment. As a result, your body can utilize more of the elemental calcium to support bone density and strength.
Foundational Support for Overall Health
While 99 percent of the body’s calcium is in the bones and teeth, it is also crucial for other vital functions. Calcium is essential for healthy muscle contraction, proper nerve signal transmission, and normal heart rhythm. By providing a well-tolerated and highly absorbable source, Thorne’s DiCalcium Malate ensures this foundational mineral can effectively support both skeletal structure and systemic health.
