Calcium Orotate

Calcium orotate is more bioavailable and therapeutically effective than calcium carbonate or calcium citrate. Calcium orotate can be taken daily as a regular baseline supplement. The dosage of calcium orotate should be increased right before and during the menstrual period, when cramping is most likely to occur. The orotate carrier transports calcium directly into cells rather than simply raising serum calcium levels. Calcium orotate is the recommended supplement form for calcium deficiency. Calcium orotate is recommended to minimize cramping caused by the copper IUD.
