- Both calcium citrate and calcium orotate help increase bone mass and strength, thereby preventing bone loss which may lead to osteoporosis. Both types of calcium may also help users lose weight over time.
- Calcium citrate contains citric acid to help with absorption, according to the Global Healing Center. Calcium orotate contains orotates, which provide maximum absorption.
- According to the Global Healing Center, calcium orotate provides the most amount of calcium to the bones than any other type of calcium supplement. Calcium orotate is readily absorbed within the mitochondria and nuclei of body cells, an effect that other supplements do not have.
- Calcium citrate helps remove minerals out of the body that may otherwise build up and cause adverse health effects. Calcium orotate may help high blood pressure, multiple sclerosis, bone inflammation, psoriasis and gastritis.
- Calcium supplements can pose the risk of nausea, increased urination, appetite and thirst changes, constipation and vomiting.
