Calcium citrate malate is a highly bioavailable form of calcium commonly used in dietary supplements to support bone health and prevent or treat calcium deficiencies. It is a water-soluble compound made from calcium salts of citric acid and malic acid, allowing for better absorption in the body compared to some other calcium forms. It is often recommended for individuals with low stomach acid or digestive issues.
