Product Details
- Vital nutrition for bone health and teeth
- Albion-chelated calcium ensures rapid uptake
- Patented mineral glycinate chelated form for optimum absorption potential
Calcium is vital for strong bones and teeth, but if your body doesn't absorb it well, you'll miss out on the full benefits. Swanson Albion Calcium ensures rapid uptake of this vital mineral. The Albion chelation process binds calcium to specific amino acids to achieve the highest possible absorption potential.
What Makes Chelated Mineral Glycinates So Superior?
First we need to understand the chelation process. Chelation is the result of minerals becoming chemically bound to amino acids in a very specific manner. Chelation occurs during the digestive process to facilitate transport of minerals across the intestinal wall so that they may be utilized throughout the body. Amino acids are not the only "chelators" available, but they are ideal for minerals. The body is very efficient at absorbing individual amino acids, and Albion has identified the amino acid glycine as the preferred molecule for creating organic chelated minerals. Glycine is readily identified and absorbed across the intestinal wall, and Albion's glycinate chelates are actually small enough to transport right into the cells themselves!
Looking for a Companion to Your GLP-1 Weight Management Journey?
Reduced caloric intake coupled with digestive challenges that result in decreased nutrient intake can impact your bone health. Bone strength is important for maintaining an active lifestyle which is central to sustained weight management. Your bones need certain vitamins and minerals to maintain their strength and integrity. The premier nutrient for bone health is calcium, as it is a crucial component of the hard mineral matrix that makes up your bones. Without adequate calcium intake the body may start to draw calcium away from the bones for other health needs. Supplementing with calcium can help ensure you meet your daily requirements.

FAQ
- How Does Calcium Support Bone Health?
Approximately 99% of the body's calcium is stored in bones and teeth. Calcium helps build and maintain bone structure throughout life, making adequate intake important for supporting bone strength and overall skeletal health. - How Much Calcium Do I Need Each Day?
Calcium needs vary based on age, sex, and life stage. Most adults require between 1,000 and 1,200 mg of calcium daily from food, supplements, or a combination of both. Consult a healthcare professional to determine your individual needs. - When Is the Best Time to Take Calcium?
Calcium supplements can generally be taken with meals to support absorption and digestive comfort. Follow the directions on the product label, and if taking larger amounts of calcium, consider dividing servings throughout the day as directed by a healthcare professional. - What Is Albion®?
Albion® is a trusted leader in mineral nutrition known for developing amino acid chelated minerals. Albion minerals are designed to help protect minerals as they pass through the digestive tract, supporting absorption and utilization by the body. Their science-based chelation technology is used in a wide range of premium mineral supplements to provide high-quality, bioavailable mineral nutrition. - What makes Swanson Albion® Calcium unique?
Unlike many calcium supplements that use calcium carbonate, this formula features Albion® calcium glycinate chelate, a premium form of calcium bonded to the amino acid glycine. Albion's patented chelation technology is designed to help protect the mineral during digestion and support optimal absorption and utilization. Combined with vitamin D3 for added bone health support, this highly bioavailable formula offers a gentle, effective way to supplement your daily calcium intake. - Is Swanson Albion® Calcium suitable for special diets?
Swanson Albion® Calcium is non-GMO, making it a great choice for consumers seeking supplements made without genetically modified ingredients. However, it is not vegan or vegetarian because the capsule contains gelatin, an animal-derived ingredient. This product is also not certified gluten free.
