Calcium L-Threonate

Calcium L-Threonate: A Better Choice for Athletes and Active Lifestyles

Calcium is an essential mineral that supports many bodily functions, especially the strength and integrity of bones and teeth. It also plays a crucial role in muscle contraction and nerve signaling. Calcium L-Threonate is a newer form of calcium that has been developed to significantly improve calcium absorption compared to traditional forms such as calcium carbonate and calcium citrate.

How Calcium L-Threonate Works

Calcium L-Threonate is calcium bound with L-threonate, a compound that enhances calcium absorption in the lower gastrointestinal tract—an area where standard calcium forms are less efficiently absorbed.
This makes Calcium L-Threonate an excellent option for athletes or individuals seeking to maintain long-term bone and muscle strength (Xia et al., 2015).

Benefits of Calcium L-Threonate

1. Superior Absorption Compared to Conventional Calcium
   Studies show that Calcium L-Threonate has better bioavailability than other calcium forms, such as calcium carbonate, allowing the body to absorb and utilize calcium more effectively (Hao et al., 2014).
2. Supports Muscle Contraction and Nerve Function
   Calcium plays a vital role in muscle contraction and neural signaling. Supplementing with Calcium L-Threonate may help reduce muscle cramps and weakness following exercise (Weaver et al., 2013).
3. Strengthens Bone Health
   Long-term calcium supplementation helps increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis—especially important for athletes who undergo intense training and face a higher risk of bone and joint injuries (Xia et al., 2015).
4. Reduces Calcium Loss from Exercise
   Athletes often lose calcium through sweat and other metabolic processes during intense training. Calcium L-Threonate supplementation helps reduce this loss and supports post-exercise recovery of bones and muscles (Zhao et al., 2016).

Why We Chose Calcium L-Threonate

In our product, we chose Calcium L-Threonate based on research supporting its superior absorption and its effectiveness in maintaining bone and muscle health. It helps athletes stay strong and resilient—both in the short term and over the long run.

Usage Recommendations

Calcium supplementation should be tailored to individual needs and guided by a health professional. In general, a daily dose of 1,000–2,000 mg of Calcium L-Threonate provides about 100–200 mg of elemental calcium. Dosage may be adjusted based on personal requirements (Hao et al., 2014).
