Life Extension Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D 200 Vegetarian Capsules

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body primarily found in the bones and teeth. In bone formation, calcium forms crystals that provide strength to maturing bone.  Calcium is needed for more than just healthy bones. It is also important for muscle contraction, blood vessel contraction and expansion, the secretion of hormones and enzymes, and sending messages through the nervous system.  Calcium supplements are best taken with meals. They should always be taken with a full glass of water, juice, or other liquid to enhance solubility. If calcium-containing formulas are taken only once daily, they may be best taken in the evening.   WARNING: Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including Lead, which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
