Calcium is a chelate of citric acid and the essential mineral, calcium. Calcium citrate supplies calcium, the most abundant mineral in the human body and citric acid, both vital components of healthy metabolic function. In the body, calcium acts as a cell signalling messenger and serves many functions in neurological processes. In addition, calcium is a component of many structural proteins such as bone and cartilage.
Citric acid is notable for being a component of the citric acid cycle, a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidization of acetate derived from carbohydrates, fats and proteins into carbon dioxide.
Supplementation of calcium with citric acid may help support healthy bone structure and metabolic function.
