What does it do?

Calcium Citrate Malate is an organic compound that supplies calcium ions, used to prevent or treat calcium deficiency. It is included in pharmaceuticals primarily for the purpose of supplementing calcium, an essential mineral for the formation and maintenance of bones and teeth.

In the body, Calcium Citrate Malate releases calcium ions to increase serum calcium levels. This calcium is absorbed into bone tissue, contributing to the maintenance of bone density and strengthening the skeleton.
