  • Title: [An analysis of calcium pidolate absorption and a comparison with that of a salt in common use, gluconate-lactate-carbonate, in postmenopausal osteoporosis].

    Journal: An Med Interna; 1989 Jul; 6(7):361-5. PubMed ID: 2491491.
    Abstract:
    The absorption of calcium pidolate is studied in 10 females suffering from osteoporosis by oral overload compared to the results of the glucono-lactate-carbonate. 405 mq of Ca pidolate produced a higher excretion of calcium by urine and an increase of Ca levels in blood than that produced by 1000 mq of Ca glucono-lactate-carbonate. The tolerance and the lack of side effects were the common feature in both salts. There were no effects on parathyroid glands nor bone resorption. We concluded that calcium pidolate is a safe and efficient treatment for osteoporosis because of easy absorption, which is very helpful in maintaining the calcium balance.
