What is Forever Calcium good for?
According to Forever, Forever Calcium:
- Bones and teeth — “Calcium helps build strong bones and teeth.”
- Vitamin D — “Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium.”
- Di-calcium malate — Uses “patented di-calcium malate, which stays in the bloodstream longer than regular calcium, allowing your body to absorb more of this vital mineral.”
- Bone health — Has “ideal quantities of vitamin D, magnesium and zinc to help further maintain bone health while ensuring maximum absorption and bioavailability.”
- Nutrient blend — Is a “key blend of nutrients and minerals.”
Forever notes that not everyone receives the proper amount of calcium and vitamin D through diet alone, and lists the product as gluten free.
