Calcium L-Threonate

Short Description:

Calcium threonate is the calcium salt of threonic acid, which is used in the treatment of osteoporosis and as a calcium supplement.Calcium L-threonate is a form of calcium derived from the combination of calcium and L-threonate.  L-threonate is a metabolite of vitamin C and is known for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, making it an important component of brain health. When combined with calcium, L-threonate forms calcium L-threonate, a compound that is highly bioavailable and easily absorbed by the body. Research shows that this compound increases the production and release of neurotransmitters, which are essential for communication between brain cells. Calcium threonate is a calcium salt of threnoic acid. It is found in dietary supplements as a source of calcium used in the treatment of calcium deficiency and prevention of osteoporosis. Threonate is an active metabolite of vitamin C that has a mediates a stimulatory action on vitamin C uptake thus may have an effect on osteoblast formation and mineralization process.By promoting neurotransmitter activity, calcium L-threonate may improve cognitive function, memory, and learning abilities. Additionally, calcium L-threonate was found to increase the density of dendritic spines, which are tiny protrusions on neurons that play a crucial role in synaptic plasticity. Synaptic plasticity refers to the brain’s ability to strengthen or weaken connections between neurons, which is critical for learning and memory.  The benefits of calcium L-threonate extend beyond brain health. This compound has also been found to support overall bone health by increasing calcium absorption. Calcium is essential for maintaining strong bones, and supplementing with calcium L-threonate may be an effective way to support bone density and prevent osteoporosis.

    Calcium L-Threonate: A High Bioavailability Calcium Supplement for Bone Strength and Cognitive Support

    Product Overview
    Calcium L-Threonate (CAS 70753-61-6) is an advanced calcium supplement derived from vitamin C metabolites, offering superior bioavailability and dual benefits for bone health and cognitive function. Its unique molecular structure—a moderate-sized chelate complex with balanced water and lipid solubility—enables direct intestinal absorption without relying on traditional calcium transport pathways, achieving a bioavailability of 26.49% as demonstrated in clinical studies .

    Key Benefits

    1. Enhanced Bone Density & Osteoporosis Prevention
      • Stimulates bone formation and inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, making it effective for treating osteoporosis and bone loss .
      • Studies show its inhibitory effect on bone resorption is comparable to 17β-estradiol at higher concentrations, supporting its role as a bone-strengthening agent .
    2. Cognitive Support & Neuronal Health
      • Facilitates calcium-dependent neurotransmitter release and maintains neuronal membrane potential, critical for memory encoding and brain function .
      • Unlike conventional calcium forms, L-Threonate may cross the blood-brain barrier, supporting neural efficiency  (analogous mechanism to Magnesium L-Threonate).
    3. Superior Absorption with Minimal Side Effects
      • Clinically proven to be well-tolerated, with no serious adverse events reported even at doses up to 4,050 mg/day .
      • Avoids common calcium-related issues like constipation due to its efficient absorption pathway .

    Scientific Validation

    • Bioavailability: A double-label isotope study confirmed 26.49 ± 9.39% bioavailability in healthy subjects, with rapid absorption and no systemic accumulation .
    • Safety: Approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) as a safe calcium source, with no toxicity concerns at proposed daily intakes (200–400 mg calcium) .
    • Mechanism: Acts as a metabolite of ascorbic acid, enhancing calcium uptake in cells and potentially synergizing with vitamin C for antioxidant benefits .

    Usage & Safety Guidelines

    • Recommended Dose: 200–400 mg daily, adjustable to individual needs (higher doses may be required for osteoporosis) .
    • Precautions:Contraindications: Do not supplement if blood calcium levels are already sufficient to avoid potential neurotoxicity .
      • Avoid inhalation or direct contact with eyes/skin; use protective equipment during handling .
      • Store in a cool, dry place (4°C for long-term stability) .

    Certifications & Compliance

    • EFSA Compliance: Recognized as a bioavailable calcium source with no safety risks at recommended doses .
    • GMP & FDA Standards: Produced in certified facilities, ensuring >98% purity and rigorous quality control .

    Ordering Information

    • Packaging: Available in powder (1g–25g) and tablet forms.
    • CAS Number: 70753-61-6 | Molecular Formula: C₈H₁₄CaO₁₀ | Molecular Weight: 310.27 .
    • Global Shipping: Compliant with harmonized tariff codes (e.g., 29181998900) for seamless international delivery .

    Why Choose Calcium L-Threonate?
    Unlike traditional calcium supplements (e.g., carbonate or citrate), Calcium L-Threonate combines bone-strengthening efficacy with cognitive support, backed by peer-reviewed research and regulatory approvals. Its high tolerability and absorption efficiency make it ideal for long-term use in populations at risk of osteoporosis or cognitive decline.
