Calcium Citrate is a good source of calcium that is well absorbed on an empty stomach and does not cause constipation. Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D3 that increases intestinal calcium and phosphate absorption and regulates bone mineralization. Zinc acts as a cofactor in enzymatic reactions and supports immune function. Magnesium Oxide supports protein synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, and increases bone strength.
