NOW Foods Calcium Lactate 250 tablets provides calcium in the lactate form — a highly water-soluble organic calcium salt that dissolves easily and is well-absorbed even with low stomach acid, making it an excellent option for older adults or those with impaired digestion who may not efficiently absorb calcium carbonate. Calcium lactate provides approximately 13% elemental calcium by weight, delivering a moderate dose per tablet that works well for those taking calcium multiple times daily rather than in one large dose (which supports better absorption than single large doses). This form is also free from binders and additives that can interfere with absorption. NOW Foods provides 250 tablets in a large economy bottle — ideal for those using calcium therapeutically for bone density, muscle function, or cardiovascular support. Manufactured in their GMP-certified facility.
