FAQ
- What does calcium do in the body?
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and is essential for many physiological processes. While approximately 99% of the body's calcium is stored in bones and teeth, the remaining calcium supports normal muscle contraction, nerve signaling, blood clotting, and cellular communication. Maintaining adequate calcium intake helps support these vital functions throughout the body. - How does calcium support bone health?
Bones are continuously remodeled through the normal processes of bone formation and resorption. Calcium is the primary mineral responsible for bone strength and structure, helping support bone mineralization and maintain healthy bone density. Adequate calcium intake is essential for building and maintaining strong, healthy bones throughout life. - How does calcium support muscle function?
Calcium plays a critical role in normal muscle contraction by helping transmit signals that allow muscle fibers to contract and relax. This process supports the healthy function of skeletal muscles used for movement, as well as smooth muscle and the heart muscle, making calcium essential for everyday physical function. - How is calcium lactate different from other forms of calcium?
Calcium lactate is a calcium salt made by combining calcium with lactic acid. Like other forms of calcium, it provides elemental calcium to support bone, muscle, nerve, and cellular function. The primary differences between calcium lactate and other calcium forms are the amount of elemental calcium they provide and their formulation characteristics—not the biological role of the calcium itself. - Is Swanson Calcium Lactate suitable for special diets?
Swanson Calcium Lactate is made with non-GMO ingredients. It is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian lifestyles because it contains a gelatin capsule. This product is also not formulated or certified to be gluten free, so individuals with gluten sensitivities should review the ingredient list before use.
