Calcium citrate is better compared to calcium carbonate.

1, although calcium carbonate contains high calcium, but the solubility is low, the gastrointestinal tract stimulation; organic acid calcium absorption rate and bioavailability is significantly higher than inorganic calcium, especially calcium citrate.

2, calcium citrate bioefficiency (bioavailability bioavailability) is better than calcium carbonate (calciumcarbonate), and older people may have calcium carbonate malabsorption problems.

3. Calcium citrate has a higher calcium absorption rate than calcium carbonate by about 5 times. The absorption rate of calcium carbonate is 5%-15%, while the absorption rate of calcium, magnesium, zinc and zinc growth nutrient solution (calcium citrate) is 79%.

4, calcium citrate and calcium carbonate is different, it will not affect the body of iron and other minerals absorption, but also can promote the absorption of zinc, more conducive to the baby's micronutrient absorption.

China's regulations can be used in cereals and their products, the use of 8 to 16g/kg in milk drinks and beverages for 1.8-3.6g/kg. citric acid is a food flavor acid complexing agent, can react with calcium oxalate in gallbladder, kidney, bladder and ureteral stones to produce soluble calcium citrate to make the stones smaller and disappear, can promote the decomposition of fat, maintain the body's acid-base balance.

Calcium citrate is a calcium fortifier with better absorption than inorganic calcium. It can be used to fortify a variety of foods, including infant formula, fruit juice, dairy products, solid beverages, sports drinks, cow's milk, soybean milk, health care products and cereal products. China's regulations can be used in cereals and their products, the use of 8 to 16g/kg; in milk beverages and beverages 1.8 to 3.6g/kg.
