Important information about Calcium Lactate
How does Calcium Lactate work?
The active ingredient in calcium lactate is calcium lactate pentahydrate. When calcium lactate enters the stomach, it dissociates, and the body absorbs the calcium ions. Calcium is used in the body for muscle and nerve function, cardiac function, and bone health.
Other calcium supplements include calcium salts like calcium carbonate, calcium gluconate, and calcium citrate. Calcium lactate can also be used as a food additive.
