Who it suits

It suits shoppers who want calcium citrate in tablet form and are fine with extra minerals in the same panel. If you want calcium on its own, NOW also sells a pure citrate powder. Our calcium citrate vs calcium carbonate labels guide reads this bottle next to two NOW powders, and our supplements collection has more.
