Calcium Citrate Malate’s (CCM) health benefits were patented over three decades ago. It is involved in calcium retention, in children and adolescents. In adulthood, it is seen to promote the maintenance of bone health. In conjunction with vitamin D, CCM also decreases the risk of bone fracture in aged people and ensures that postmenopausal women’s health is made better. CCM, unlike other supplements, does not need to be taken along with a meal and is seen to deliver benefits to individuals of any age group. CCM is usually used when the person has achlorhydria where the gastric acid secretion is reduced and there is an absence of an acidic environment (required by calcium carbonate). Calcium citrate Malate possesses outstanding bioavailability properties and is a useful extension to the calcium available presently, either for direct supplementation or for food fortification.
