CITRACAL Slow Release Calcium 1200 mg with Vitamin D3 & Magnesium — 185 Count, Once-Daily

CITRACAL Slow Release 1200 is a once-daily calcium caplet blend with vitamin D3 and magnesium engineered for gradual absorption to support bone strength.*

CITRACAL Slow Release 1200 combines 1200 mg of calcium (from calcium carbonate and calcium citrate), 25 mcg (1000 IU) of vitamin D3, and 80 mg of magnesium in a patented Slo-Cal® formulation designed to release calcium gradually throughout the day. With two caplets taken once daily with food, this formula aims to be gentle on the stomach while providing sustained mineral availability for bone maintenance. CITRACAL is widely recommended by healthcare professionals and is intended as part of an overall bone-support regimen.*

How does the slow-release formulation change absorption compared to regular calcium pills?

The Slo-Cal® technology in this product releases calcium in stages rather than dumping the full dose at once, which can improve the timeframe during which calcium is available for uptake. Slower release may reduce digestive discomfort for some users and help match calcium availability with the body’s absorption processes over hours.

• Patented slow-release caplets for prolonged mineral delivery
• Two caplets provide a controlled 1200 mg calcium blend
• Designed to be taken once daily with a meal for steady absorption

Why are vitamin D3 and magnesium included, and how do they help?

Vitamin D3 supports calcium absorption in the intestines, while magnesium plays a role in bone structure and the balance of minerals. Including both nutrients helps create a complementary formula so calcium is more usable by the body rather than simply passing through the digestive tract.

• 25 mcg (1000 IU) vitamin D3 per serving to aid calcium uptake
• 80 mg magnesium to support bone mineral structure
• Combined ingredients designed to work synergistically for bone support*

What is the recommended way to take CITRACAL Slow Release 1200 and who can use it?

Adults and children 12 years and older take one serving (two caplets) once daily in the morning with food. Taking the supplement with a meal can enhance absorption and reduce potential stomach upset. Do not exceed the recommended dose, and consult a healthcare professional if you have medical conditions or take other medications.

• Dosage: 2 caplets once daily with food
• Recommended age: 12 years and older
• Consult a provider if pregnant, nursing, or on prescription medications

Will this supplement cause digestive discomfort or interact with other medications?

CITRACAL Slow Release is formulated to be easier on the digestive system than some immediate-release calcium products, but individuals vary in tolerance. Calcium can interact with certain medications (e.g., antibiotics, thyroid meds); spacing doses and discussing with a pharmacist or physician helps manage interactions.

• Designed to minimize common stomach upset associated with calcium
• Possible interactions: certain antibiotics, bisphosphonates, thyroid drugs
• Ask your healthcare provider about timing if you take multiple prescriptions

Who is this for: CITRACAL Slow Release 1200 is aimed at adults (and teens 12+) who want a once-daily calcium regimen that blends immediate and sustained mineral delivery, includes vitamin D3 and magnesium for complementary support, and is formulated to be gentle on digestion. It suits anyone looking to add a clinician-recommended calcium option into their daily wellness plan as part of broader dietary and lifestyle practices.*
