Solgar Dicalcium Malate
Solgar Dicalcium Malate
Dicalcium malate offers advantages over the other organic calcium forms because each molecule of malic acid has two carboxyl groups instead of one, allowing a calcium ion to be attached at each carboxyl site. This effectively doubles the amount of calcium obtained from the malate complex.
Therefore, Dicalcium malate delivers the best of both worlds: the superior solubility and bioavailability of calcium citrate with more elemental calcium per tablet. Another advantage is its extened half-life. A recent study found that of the four calcium forms tested, Dicalcium malate raised serum calcium levels for the longeest period of time. In addition, malic acid is an organic acid that plays a key role in the production of cellular energy. It is specifically involved in the Krebs Cycle, a process that occurs inside the cells' mitochondria and is crucial in the production of ATP - the energy molecule.

Vitamin K actually refers to a group of vitamins with similar structures. These are vitamin K1, known as phylloquinone or phytonadione, and vitamin K2, known as menaquinones, MK. Vitamin K1 is synthesised by plants, vegetable and algae and has a low bioavailability.
The body uses both aerobic and anaerobic systems for creating energy. The Aerobic system applies fuel for sustained energy expenditure, whilst the anaerobic system powers short bursts of energy output, like sprinting and weight lifting.
