What is Calcium Citrate?
Calcium citrate is a commonly used supplement that provides calcium in a highly bioavailable form, making it easier for the body to absorb, particularly for individuals with low stomach acid. It is utilized primarily to prevent or treat calcium deficiencies and to support bone health, reducing the risk of osteoporization. Additionally, calcium citrate is often preferred over other forms of calcium supplements due to its ability to be taken with or without food.
Side Effects
- Headache that will not go away, dry mouth, loss of appetite, severe constipation.
- Allergic reaction: Itching or hives, swelling in your face or hands, swelling or tingling in your mouth or throat, chest tightness, trouble breathing
Warnings
- If you are using a large amount of calcium or using it for a long time, your doctor might need to check your blood on a regular basis. Be sure to keep all appointments.
- Some health problems can affect how much calcium you should take. Tell your doctor if you have stomach or digestion problems, such as on-going diarrhea, not absorbing nutrients properly, or not having enough acid in your stomach.
- You should not use certain brands of this medicine if you have kidney disease or are on dialysis, because they may harm your kidneys. Ask your caregiver what brands are best for you.
- Make sure your doctor knows if you are pregnant or breast feeding, or if you are allergic to shellfish. Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease or have ever had kidney stones. Make sure your doctor knows if you have had problems with too much calcium (hypercalcemia) or too little calcium in your blood (hypocalcemia). Some health problems that can cause hypercalcemia are sarcoidosis or problems with your parathyroid gland.
