FAQ
- How is eggshell calcium different from other forms of calcium?
Like calcium carbonate, eggshell calcium is a rich source of elemental calcium. However, because it is naturally derived, it also contains trace minerals that occur alongside calcium in nature. Some research suggests these naturally occurring minerals may complement calcium as part of a bone health regimen. - How does eggshell calcium support bone health?
Calcium is the primary mineral found in bones and teeth and is essential for maintaining normal bone structure throughout life. Adequate calcium intake, combined with regular exercise and a balanced diet, helps support healthy bones. - Why are vitamin D and vitamin K2 included?
Vitamin D helps the body absorb and utilize calcium, while vitamin K2 helps support the normal incorporation of calcium into bone. Together with calcium, these nutrients provide complementary support for healthy bones. - Is eggshell calcium easy to absorb?
Research suggests eggshell calcium is a bioavailable source of calcium that is well absorbed by the body. When combined with vitamin D, it provides an effective way to help meet daily calcium needs and support bone health. - Is Swanson Eggshell Calcium with Vitamin D3 suitable for special diets?
Swanson Eggshell Calcium with Vitamin D3 is non-GMO. However, it is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets because it contains naturally derived eggshell calcium and a gelatin capsule. It is also not gluten free.
