An antacid supplement using calcium carbonate for acid relief and providing incidental calcium, but not designed as a complete bone or general calcium supplement.
NOW's Acid Relief with Enzymes is formulated primarily as an antacid, utilizing Calcium Carbonate for its ability to neutralize stomach acid quickly. The inclusion of an "Acid Relief Enzyme Blend" further supports digestive comfort. While the 560mg of Calcium Carbonate does provide elemental calcium that can contribute to bone health, it is important to understand that this product is not designed as a dedicated, comprehensive calcium supplement. It notably lacks Vitamin D3, which is crucial for maximizing calcium absorption and its effective utilization by the body for bone mineralization. Therefore, users seeking primary bone, joint, or heart health benefits from a calcium supplement should look elsewhere, as this product's focus is digestive relief.
- Effective for acid relief.
- Provides a notable amount of elemental calcium.
- Primarily an antacid, not a dedicated calcium supplement.
- Lacks Vitamin D3 for optimal calcium absorption.
- May interact with other medications due to its antacid properties.
- Not suitable as the sole source of calcium for comprehensive bone health.

Categories
Calcium 50.0
Provides 560mg of elemental calcium primarily for its antacid properties, and while it contributes to calcium intake, it's not a comprehensive calcium supplement as it lacks D3.
Goals
Bone Health 50.0
Contains 560mg of calcium carbonate, which can contribute to bone mineral density. However, its primary function is antacid, and it lacks Vitamin D3, which is critical for calcium absorption and utilization for bone health, making it an incomplete bone supplement.
Heart Health 45.0
Calcium is involved in heart rhythm, but the product's main purpose is acid relief. The form (carbonate) and lack of D3/K2 means it's not ideal for comprehensive, balanced calcium intake targeting heart health over the long term.
Fitness 45.0
Provides calcium important for muscle function. However, its primary use as an antacid rather than a dedicated nutritional supplement means its contribution to fitness goals is secondary and incidental.
