Question: Why Is Calcium important for health?

Answer: Calcium is essential for bone strength, nerve function, muscle contraction, cellular health, and cardiovascular health. Calcium supplementation is a great idea for most Americans, as modern diets typically lack enough food sources of this key mineral. Pregnant women, those who menstruate or are in menopause, active adults & athletes, and those taking certain medications may want to consider more targeted calcium supplementation.  

Q: What Calcium forms should I avoid?

Not all calcium supplements are created equal—choosing the wrong form can result in poor absorption and minimal benefits.

Many calcium supplements use low-quality, poorly absorbed forms. It's best to avoid the following formats:

• Calcium carbonate & oyster shell: Only 5-10% absorption and may cause digestive discomfort
• Calcium citrate, oxide, and lactate: Less effective compared to bioavailable forms like MCHC, coral calcium, and amino-acid bound calcium. 
• Large calcium tablets (500-1000mg): Larger tablets are hard for the body to absorb due to the addition of binders and fillers. The body can only absorb 500mg of calcium per dose, making smaller, high-quality doses more effective. 

Wellness Resources formulates calcium supplements in capsules at the appropriate dosages to ensure maximum absorption and bioavailability. Wellness Resources calcium supplements are never made with calcium carbonate, oyster shell, calcium citrate, calcium oxide, and calcium lactate. Additionally, all of our supplements are always free from fillers and binders. We believe in transparency in labeling and instead we offer highly bioavailable forms of calcium in synergistic nutrient formulations so you feel the difference. 

Q: What makes Wellness Resources calcium formulas superior?

A: Our calcium supplements are in highly absorbable forms to ensure maximum effectiveness. Our calcium supplements are never compressed into tablets. We formulate calcium capsules for maximum bioavailability, with the appropriate dose and capsule size for maximum absorption.
