CalCit

Avian CalCid is a water soluble calcium source - calcium is a mineral found naturally in foods. It is vitally important to several functions in the body, especially bone formation, but also for maintaining a normal heart beat, regulating blood pressure, and promoting a healthy nervous system. Calcium citrate is used to prevent and to treat calcium deficiencies.

Calcium supplements are needed to provide the body with the necessary resources to fight this condition. Calcium citrate performs more efficiently than any other calcium salt because it contains a relatively high concentration of calcium (21% calcium) and is also easy for the body to absorb. Calcium supplements are given to birds who are unable to get enough calcium in their regular diet or who have a need for more calcium. They are used to prevent or treat several conditions that may cause hypocalcemia (not enough calcium in the blood). The body needs calcium to make strong bones. Calcium is also needed for the heart, muscles, and nervous system to work properly. The bones serve as a storage site for the body's calcium. They are continuously giving up calcium to the bloodstream and then replacing it as the body's need for calcium changes from day to day. When there is not enough calcium in the blood to be used by the heart and other organs, your body will take the needed calcium from the bones. When you eat foods rich in calcium, the calcium will be restored to the bones and the balance between your blood and bones will be maintained. Calcium citrate is used to prevent and to treat calcium deficiencies.
