Overview
A slow release calcium caplet from Citracal combining 1200mg of calcium with vitamin D3 and magnesium, taken once daily, sold in an 80 count bottle for bone health support.
The slow release design is meant to spread calcium absorption over time rather than delivering it all at once, addressing a common limitation of high dose calcium supplements. Pairing it with vitamin D3 and magnesium reflects the standard bone health combination rather than calcium alone.
- 1200mg calcium per daily dose
- Vitamin D3 and magnesium included
- Slow release caplet
- Once daily dosing, 80 count
Who it's for
Suited to adults wanting a once daily, slow release calcium supplement combined with D3 and magnesium for bone support. Less suited to anyone already getting calcium from another combination supplement, since stacking could push total calcium intake too high.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 1200mg calcium in a once daily caplet
- Includes vitamin D3 and magnesium
- Slow release formulation
- Caplet size for a 1200mg dose may be larger than smaller supplement pills
- Risk of exceeding total calcium intake if combined with other supplements
Performance notes
Slow release formulation spreads out calcium absorption instead of delivering the full 1200mg dose at once, which is why the label allows once daily dosing rather than the split doses common with plain calcium tablets. Vitamin D3 is included because it supports calcium absorption, and magnesium rounds out the bone health combination.
