Chelated calcium in the form of Dicalcium Malate, with optimized absorption and higher concentration per capsule. What it is Thorne's Calcium contains DimaCal®, a form of Dicalcium Malate with 2 calcium molecules per malate molecule — more concentrated than forms like calcium citrate. Why supplement Research suggests that for a large portion of the population, diet may not consistently provide adequate amounts of calcium. Functions of calcium in the body Bones and teeth Contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal teeth. Muscle function Calcium contributes to normal muscle function, including the heart muscle. Nerve transmission Contributes to normal nerve impulse transmission. Cell division Contributes to the normal process of cell division and differentiation. Advanced form of calcium DimaCal® is composed of one malic acid molecule bound to two calcium molecules. This structure gives it a higher calcium concentration than citrate (≈21%), allowing for more calcium per capsule. Malic acid is naturally produced by the body during the Krebs cycle and is also found in fruits like apples. Serum calcium concentration over 12h (comparative study, 900 mg). DimaCal® demonstrates statistically superior absorption (p<0.05).Calcium
