Uses:Calcium citrate is used to prevent or treat low blood calcium levels in people who do not get enough calcium from their diets. Calcium is a mineral that is found naturally in foods. Calcium is necessary for many normal functions of the body, especially bone formation and maintenance. Calcium citrate is used to prevent and to treat calcium deficiencies.
