Why calcium form matters more than most people realise
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. Around 99% of it is stored in your bones and teeth — and the remaining 1% plays a role in muscle contraction, nerve signalling, and cardiovascular function. Most adults know they need calcium. What most people don't know is that the form of calcium in a supplement determines how much of it actually gets absorbed.
Calcium carbonate — the form found in most pharmacy supplements and antacids — is inexpensive and contains a high percentage of elemental calcium by weight. But it requires an acidic stomach environment to dissolve properly, which means absorption is significantly reduced when taken away from meals, and substantially lower in adults with reduced stomach acid — a group that includes many people over 50 who take proton pump inhibitors or antacids regularly.
Calcium Glycinate — calcium bound to glycine, an amino acid — is a chelated form. Because it is absorbed via a different pathway that does not depend on stomach acid, it is absorbed more consistently regardless of meal timing or stomach acid levels. In a commonly cited comparative trial, amino acid chelated calcium showed the best absorption among the forms tested, including calcium citrate, calcium carbonate, and microcrystalline hydroxyapatite.


What you get per serving
Calcium (from 1,390mg Calcium Bisglycinate, 100% Chelated) | 250mg elemental calcium | 19% Daily Value
Serving size: 2 Vegetable Capsules | Servings per container: 30 | Supply: 30 days | Vegan | Made in Singapore

Important note on dose: This formula provides 250mg of elemental calcium per serving. The recommended adequate intake for most adults is 1,000–1,200mg of calcium daily. This supplement is designed to bridge a dietary gap — not to serve as your sole calcium source. Calcium from food (dairy, leafy greens, tofu, fortified foods) should remain the primary source, with this supplement covering the shortfall.

Key Benefits

Supports bone and teeth health
Calcium is the primary structural mineral in bone tissue. Consistent daily intake supports bone mineral density maintenance, particularly important for adults from their 40s onward when bone resorption begins to outpace formation.
Supports muscle function
Calcium plays a direct role in muscle contraction — including the heart muscle. Adequate calcium intake supports normal muscle function and helps prevent the cramping that can accompany low calcium status.
Supports bone density
The glycinate (chelated) form supports more consistent absorption than carbonate-based supplements, meaning more of the 250mg per serving reaches circulation and is available for bone and muscle use. This is particularly relevant for adults over 50 and postmenopausal women, who face increased risk of bone density loss.

Why chelated calcium and why 100% chelated matters
Most multi-ingredient supplements that include calcium use partial chelation or a blend of forms to reduce cost. This formula uses 100% Calcium Bisglycinate — meaning all 1,390mg of the compound, providing 250mg elemental calcium, is fully chelated to glycine.
The "100% Chelated" label on this product is a meaningful quality indicator. It means no calcium carbonate or calcium oxide has been blended in to increase the elemental calcium number on the label cheaply.

Directions of Use
Take 2 capsules daily after any meal. Or take as directed by a healthcare professional. Store in a cool and dry place.
Caution: Individuals with medical conditions should consult a healthcare professional before use. If you have a history of kidney stones or hypercalcaemia, consult your doctor before supplementing with calcium.
Who is this suitable for?

  • Adults with low dairy intake or plant-based diets who may fall short of daily calcium needs

  • Adults 40 and above looking to support bone density maintenance proactively

  • Postmenopausal women with increased calcium requirements

  • Adults who experience digestive discomfort (constipation, bloating) from calcium carbonate supplements

  • Adults with reduced stomach acid who have difficulty absorbing carbonate-form calcium

Not suitable without medical consultation for individuals with a history of kidney stones or hypercalcaemia
