Gentle Calcium Citrate 1428mg Capsules
Stomach-friendly calcium with optimal tolerability and high bioavailability. Supports bones, teeth, muscles, nerves, and energy metabolism.
- 1,428 mg of calcium citrate per daily dose
- Gentle on the stomach, ideal for sensitive digestion
- Highly tolerable, even at higher doses, thanks to DRcaps® technology
- Effective support for those with increased calcium needs
- Contributes to the strength and stability of bones and teeth
- Supports normal muscle contraction, including the heart muscle
What are the benefits?
With Women’s Best Gentle Calcium Citrate Capsules, we offer a stomach-friendly, highly bioavailable form of calcium designed for optimal absorption. Ideal for individuals with sensitive stomachs and anyone looking for smart, targeted calcium support.
Thanks to innovative DRcaps® technology, the acid-resistant capsule shell passes through the stomach and dissolves in the small intestine, where the body absorbs calcium most effectively. Each daily dose provides 1,428 mg of calcium citrate without irritating the stomach or disrupting the digestive system.
Why is calcium so important?
Calcium is essential for the body, promoting the development of bones and teeth, supporting muscle contractions, nerve function, blood clotting, and maintaining a normal heart rhythm. It also aids enzyme activity, stabilizes cell membranes, and facilitates cellular communication.
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body and plays a central role in overall health. About 99% of the body’s calcium is stored in the bones and teeth, providing them with strength and stability. At the same time, calcium supports numerous other vital functions, from energy metabolism to muscle performance and nervous system function.
Not all calcium is created equal.
Different forms of calcium are absorbed differently by the body. Bioavailability and tolerability depend largely on the chemical compound. Choosing the right form of calcium is crucial, especially for individuals with digestive issues or reduced stomach acid production:
- Calcium citrate is especially gentle on the stomach and can be absorbed without the need for stomach acid, making it ideal for older adults, individuals with reduced acid production, or sensitive digestive systems.
- Liposomal calcium is an innovative form in which calcium is encapsulated in liposomes. This technology enhances transport through the digestive tract and improves cellular absorption, offering excellent bioavailability.
- Calcium malate combines calcium with malic acid. It is highly soluble and easily tolerated, allowing efficient absorption by the body.
- Calcium lactate is gentle and highly soluble, making it perfect for sensitive digestive systems.
- Red algae calcium provides naturally bound calcium along with magnesium and trace elements such as zinc and boron.
- Calcium carbonate offers the highest calcium content of all forms, but it requires an acidic environment for optimal absorption, making it best taken with meals.
With Women’s Best Gentle Calcium Citrate Capsules, we have created a product that combines highly bioavailable calcium citrate with acid-resistant DRcaps® technology to ensure reliable calcium delivery, even for sensitive stomachs. This makes it ideal for individuals with sensitive digestive systems, reduced stomach acid production, or increased calcium needs due to intense physical activity, pregnancy, or aging.
How do I take it?
Take 2 capsules daily with a meal.
Tip: For optimized calcium absorption, we recommend taking alongside our Women’s Best Vitamin D3 + K2 + MCT Liquid Drops.

Calcium citrate – a stomach-friendly form of calcium.
Calcium citrate is considered one of the most well-tolerated and bioavailable forms of calcium available. Unlike other calcium compounds, it does not require stomach acid for absorption, making it especially gentle on the stomach and ensuring a reliable uptake regardless of stomach pH levels or food intake.
This makes calcium citrate the ideal choice for individuals with sensitive stomachs, reduced stomach acid production, or those taking acid-blocking medications, who often have difficulty tolerating other forms of calcium.
100% stomach-friendly.
DRcaps® technology for maximum tolerability.
DRcaps® stands for Delayed Release Capsules, an innovative capsule technology with an acid-resistant shell that releases calcium specifically in the small intestine. Unlike conventional capsules that dissolve in the stomach, DRcaps® capsules pass through the stomach intact and release the calcium where it can be absorbed most efficiently.
This targeted release is especially beneficial at higher doses, as it means even sensitive individuals can achieve an optimal calcium intake without compromising on comfort or tolerability.
Essential for bones, teeth, muscles, nerves, and more.
Calcium is an essential mineral involved in numerous vital functions in the body. As a key building block, it supports strong bones and healthy teeth, but its importance goes far beyond that.
Calcium plays a central role in muscle contraction, from skeletal muscles to the heart. In the nervous system, it enables the transmission of signals between nerve cells, making it essential for smooth communication.
It is also crucial for blood clotting, as the blood cannot clot properly without sufficient calcium. Additionally, calcium activates various enzymes and supports hormone release, contributing significantly to many metabolic processes.

Osteoporosis: when bones become porous.
Around 99% of the calcium in the body is stored in the bones, providing them with strength and stability. If we consume too little calcium through our diet, the body draws on its reserves, taking the essential mineral from the bones.
What may seem harmless in the short term can develop into a serious risk over time. Continuous calcium depletion makes bone tissue increasingly porous and fragile. As a result, bones lose their natural strength and may no longer withstand everyday stress. Even a minor fall or sudden movement can then lead to fractures, particularly in the spine, hips, and wrists.

Calcium is a key cellular messenger.
Calcium plays a central role in cells as a messenger, transmitting information and regulating numerous processes. Under normal conditions, calcium levels inside the cell are very low. However, when an external stimulus, such as a nerve impulse or a hormone, occurs, special channels open, and calcium flows into the cell or is released from internal stores.
This temporary rise in calcium concentration triggers a variety of vital processes, including muscle contractions, neurotransmitter release, and the activation of enzymes and genes. Once the response is complete, calcium is removed from the cytoplasm, allowing the cell to return to its resting state. In this way, calcium acts as a precise molecular switch that regulates many essential functions in the body.
