Calcium L-Threonate is a calcium salt of threonic acid, primarily used as a calcium supplement and for the treatment of osteoporosis.
It is an active metabolite of vitamin C, known to stimulate vitamin C uptake in cells, which may enhance collagen synthesis and bone mineralization.
It is soluble in water and has been studied for its potential role in reducing bone resorption and improving calcium absorption. Calcium L-Threonate is commonly found in dietary supplements aimed at addressing calcium deficiency and preventing osteoporosis.
