Calcium citrate is an inorganic mineral supplement that combines calcium and citrate. It is primarily used to prevent or treat calcium deficiency and helps maintain bone and dental health.

Calcium citrate supplies calcium ions in the body to maintain the necessary calcium concentration for bone formation. This contributes to increasing bone density and preventing bone diseases such as osteoporosis.
