Designs for Health Calcium Malate Chelate 120 Capsules

This new, improved calcium tablet is a combo of the two most health promoting, most absorbable forms of calcium available. This formula contains glycine and malic acid. Malic acid is found naturally in apples and other fruits and vegetables. Glycine is a very low molecular weight amino acid found in foods and can be synthesized by the body. Calcium can be perfectly chelated to two moles of glycine. True chelates are not only absorbed better than calcium salts, but they are retained better in body tissue such as bone. Chelated calcium is better tolerated than non-bound calcium salts as they do not cause the milk alkali syndrome which can cause stomach upset and kidney problems. Also, the ligands the minerals are chelated to is important as the chelated compound will remain chelated throughout the gut and into the bloodstream. Mineral salts from non-true chelates break apart far sooner, usually in the stomach, leaving the body with the extra compound to deal with. Ionic minerals interfere with the absorption of other minerals including phosphorus and iron, whereas chelated minerals do not. This improved calcium has vitamin D addded, which helps to resorb calcium that otherwise would be excreted.
