Calcium 120c by Thorne – Bone Support Calcium Supplement
Calcium capsules by Thorne provide a single-mineral supplement for bone, tooth, muscle, and nerve support. Calcium 120c uses DiCalcium Malate, a form that binds calcium to malic acid, with 250 mg of elemental calcium per capsule.
This calcium supplement complements food sources when your usual intake does not meet your needs. It supplies calcium without adding vitamin D, so your overall nutritional plan still matters.
Key Calcium 120c Benefits
- Supports bone health by supplying a mineral that helps maintain the structure of your skeleton.
- Helps maintain strong teeth by contributing calcium to the mineral framework that gives teeth their hardness.
- Supports normal muscle contraction, helping muscle fibers respond to the signals that initiate everyday movement.
- Supports healthy nerve signaling, allowing messages to travel between nerves and other cells throughout the body.
How Calcium 120c Works
After calcium is absorbed through the intestine, the body directs it where it is needed. Most becomes part of the mineral structure of bones and teeth, while a smaller circulating supply supports cell communication and muscle activity. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium; this formula supplies calcium rather than vitamin D.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Calcium: Provides the mineral building material that combines with phosphate to give bones their strength. Bones also store calcium and release it as needed to help maintain the circulating supply. Replenishing calcium through food and, when needed, supplementation supports this ongoing balance and everyday skeletal maintenance.
Calcium 120c Is Formulated For
- Adults seeking to complement their dietary calcium intake when food alone falls short.
- Adults who limit dairy foods and want a calcium-focused option.
- Perimenopausal and postmenopausal women reviewing their calcium intake with a healthcare practitioner.
