Calcium Amino Acid Chelate Powder
The Calcium Amino Acid Chelate is formed by binding one calcium ion and two aspartic acid, providing better absorption, assimilation and usage. Aspartic acid is an important amino acid that functions as a transport mechanism delivering the calcium to proper body sites for specific functions. This form of calcium is readily absorbed by the body and has the dual advantage of releasing calcium and aspartic acid in the blood.
(1) It is highly water-soluble and needs not much gastric acid to digest; its action is not restricted by the amount of gastric acid.
(2) It possesses a high absorptive rate due to its natural levovlination and chelation structure associated with a good soluble nature. Therefore it can be directly absorbed by the small intestine, with its absorptive rate being three times higher than that of other types of calcium.
(3) A higher biological utilization rate with 90% absorption rate than other form calcium. For example, Calcium Carbonate: 5% absorption rate; Calcium Citrate: 25% absorption rate, all these calcium must have vitamin D and magnesium to make it absorbable. Calcium Amino Acid Chelate produced by Yuanhua does not need vitamin D or magnesium to be absorbed. At same time, it can’t result in body stone since most of it is absorbed by bone issue.
(4) High safety: Toxic and side effects producted by other calcium agents can be avoided, it is the best calcium source for health food or dietary supplements.
Appearance: white powder, slightly briny taste.
