Adults over fifty face changing calcium requirements to balance bone remodeling, clinical fracture prevention, and potential cardiovascular or kidney risks.
Calcium nutrition during aging is often misunderstood. It is an essential mineral required to sustain skeletal integrity, cellular communication, and normal neuromuscular physiology. It is not an isolated anti-aging therapy, a guaranteed shield against bone fractures, or a tool for extending human lifespan.
Healthy aging requires a grounded perspective on how mineral requirements evolve over time. As adults grow older, hormonal shifts, reduced intestinal absorption, and altered kidney function change how the body processes calcium. Navigating these changes requires understanding the differences between dietary intake and pill-based supplementation.
This guide reviews the biological functions of calcium, dietary sources, changing intake requirements, and the role of vitamin D. It examines randomized clinical trials on fracture prevention, analyzes potential risks such as kidney stones and vascular calcification, and clarifies why nutritional adequacy should not be confused with longevity claims.
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. Approximately 98% of total body calcium is stored within the skeleton. In bone, calcium combines with phosphate and other minerals to form hydroxyapatite crystals. These crystalline structures provide mechanical strength, rigidity, and structural support for the entire physical frame.
The skeletal system is not a static scaffold. Bone functions as a dynamic mineral reservoir that constantly exchanges calcium with the bloodstream. This reservoir ensures that circulating ionized calcium remains within a tightly controlled physiological range. The body prioritizes circulating blood calcium over bone density because cellular processes depend on immediate mineral availability.
The remaining small percentage of calcium resides in extracellular fluid, blood serum, and soft tissues. This circulating pool is essential for life-sustaining physiological processes. Intracellular calcium flux triggers muscle fiber contraction in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues. Calcium ions facilitate neurotransmitter release across synaptic junctions, enabling rapid nerve impulse transmission throughout the central nervous system.
Calcium is also a critical cofactor in the enzymatic blood clotting cascade. It regulates the activation of prothrombin and subsequent fibrin formation. Furthermore, calcium signaling controls the contraction and dilation of blood vessels, helping regulate blood pressure and systemic vascular tone. You can learn more about how cellular nutrient handling influences physiological aging in our guide to cellular health and metabolism.
Bone tissue undergoes constant remodeling throughout adult life. This lifelong metabolic cycle involves the coordinated action of two primary cell types: osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Osteoclasts secrete acid and proteolytic enzymes to break down old or damaged bone mineral and protein matrix. Osteoblasts then synthesize a new collagen matrix and deposit calcium and phosphorus to rebuild the bone structure.
In early life and young adulthood, bone formation exceeds bone resorption, leading to peak bone mass accumulation. During midlife, these two processes generally remain balanced. With advanced age, resorption begins to outpace new bone formation. Over time, this imbalance leads to a gradual reduction in structural density and an increased risk of skeletal fragility.
Daily calcium needs change across the lifespan due to shifts in hormone levels and intestinal absorption efficiency. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) establishes Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) designed to maintain bone health and neutral calcium balance in healthy individuals. These values represent total daily intake from all sources combined, including food, beverages, and any supplements.
For men between the ages of 51 and 70, the calcium RDA is 1,000 mg per day. For women in the same age bracket of 51 to 70, the RDA increases to 1,200 mg per day. After age 70, the recommendation rises to 1,200 mg per day for both men and women. The earlier increase for women is directly related to the onset of menopause.
During the menopausal transition, declining circulating estrogen accelerates osteoclast activity. This hormonal drop increases bone resorption relative to formation. In the years immediately following menopause, women can lose an average of roughly 1% of their bone mineral density per year. A higher daily calcium intake helps support the circulating pool and reduce compensatory skeletal resorption.
Men experience age-related bone loss as well, but the process typically begins five to ten years later than in women. Testosterone levels decline more gradually than estrogen, resulting in a slower initial rate of mineral loss. By age 70, however, intestinal calcium absorption declines significantly in both sexes. This decrease justifies an identical RDA of 1,200 mg per day for all older adults.
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) is the maximum usual daily intake unlikely to cause adverse health effects. For adults older than 50, the calcium UL is established at 2,000 mg per day. The UL is a ceiling for safety rather than a nutritional target to pursue.
Total daily calcium counts must include every source. Food, fortified drinks, calcium supplements, and calcium-containing antacids all contribute toward the 2,000 mg threshold. Exceeding this boundary increases the risk of hypercalciuria, kidney stone formation, and impaired kidney function without providing any extra skeletal benefit.
Vitamin D status directly influences calcium economy. Without adequate vitamin D, the intestinal tract cannot efficiently absorb dietary calcium. The National Academies recommend an RDA of 600 IU per day of vitamin D for adults up to age 70. For adults older than 70, the recommendation rises to 800 IU per day. Detailed reviews of nutrient requirements are available in our longevity nutrition and supplements resources.
Dietary calcium comes from both dairy and non-dairy foods, but the total mineral content listed on a label does not tell the whole story. The fraction of calcium that the body actually absorbs, known as bioavailability, varies significantly across different food matrices. Dietary planning requires balancing total mineral content against absorption efficiency.
Dairy products represent dense, highly bioavailable sources of calcium. An 8-ounce serving of plain low-fat yogurt provides roughly 415 mg of elemental calcium. One cup of standard cow milk supplies between 276 and 299 mg. Hard and semi-hard cheeses also deliver concentrated amounts of calcium alongside protein and phosphorus. The human digestive tract absorbs approximately 30% of the calcium present in standard dairy products.
Non-dairy foods can also supply substantial quantities of calcium for individuals following plant-based eating patterns. Calcium-fortified soy beverages typically supply around 299 mg of calcium per cup, matching the concentration of dairy milk. Firm tofu prepared with a calcium salt coagulant, such as calcium sulfate, provides approximately 253 mg per half-cup serving. Canned sardines and canned salmon consumed with their soft, edible bones provide roughly 325 mg per 3-ounce serving.
Certain green vegetables contain meaningful quantities of calcium, but their bioavailability varies widely. Cooked kale provides roughly 94 mg of calcium per cup, and brassica family vegetables like broccoli and cabbage exhibit absorption rates comparable to milk. Conversely, spinach contains significant calcium on paper, but its bioavailability is exceptionally poor.
Spinach contains high concentrations of oxalic acid. Oxalate binds tightly to calcium ions in the intestinal lumen, forming insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that the body cannot absorb. Research cited by the NIH demonstrates that net calcium absorption from spinach is only about 5%, compared with nearly 27% from milk. Phytic acid, found in unsoaked whole grains, beans, and seeds, can similarly reduce mineral bioavailability by binding free calcium ions.
Intestinal absorption efficiency is dynamic rather than fixed. On average, healthy adults absorb roughly 25% of the total calcium they ingest, but this percentage declines with age. Absorption is also inversely related to the quantity of calcium ingested at a single sitting.
At low dietary intakes near 200 mg per meal, fractional absorption can reach 45%. When a single meal or supplement provides more than 2,000 mg of calcium, fractional absorption drops toward 15%. This biological regulation prevents excessive mineral influx while conserving uptake during times of dietary scarcity. Relying on diverse, whole-food sources throughout the day provides a steady mineral supply without overwhelming intestinal transport pathways.
A food-first approach to calcium is widely recommended by bone health organizations. Meeting nutrient requirements through food delivers calcium alongside complementary micronutrients, including magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and dietary protein. The Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation advises using supplements only to close a documented nutritional gap when food intake falls short of daily targets.
When dietary assessment reveals a true shortfall, calcium supplements can help bridge the difference. Standard over-the-counter supplements generally deliver either calcium carbonate or calcium citrate. These two compounds have distinct chemical characteristics, absorption requirements, and tolerability profiles that dictate how they should be used.
Calcium carbonate is the most widely available and economical form of supplemental calcium. It contains approximately 40% elemental calcium by weight, meaning a 1,250 mg tablet of calcium carbonate delivers 500 mg of active elemental calcium. Calcium carbonate requires an acidic environment in the stomach for optimal dissolution and ionic release. For this reason, it should always be consumed with meals.
Calcium citrate contains roughly 21% elemental calcium by weight, requiring larger or more numerous tablets to achieve an equivalent elemental dose. However, calcium citrate does not depend on gastric acid for dissolution and absorption. It can be taken with or without food.
Calcium citrate is often better suited for older adults who have reduced stomach acid production, a condition known as atrophic gastritis or hypochlorhydria. It is also an appropriate choice for individuals who regularly use proton pump inhibitors or H2-receptor blockers for acid reflux. Calcium citrate tends to cause fewer gastrointestinal side effects than carbonate formulations.
Supplemental dose size materially influences absorption efficiency. Intestinal active transport mechanisms saturate at single doses above 500 mg of elemental calcium. Taking a single daily tablet containing 1,000 mg of elemental calcium results in poorer fractional absorption than splitting the dose into two 500 mg portions taken at separate times. Dividing supplemental doses throughout the day optimizes uptake and minimizes gastrointestinal discomfort.
Calcium supplements can interfere with the intestinal absorption of several prescription medications. Calcium binds directly to levothyroxine, a common thyroid hormone replacement, significantly reducing its bioavailability in the gut. It also forms insoluble chelates with quinolone and tetracycline antibiotics, rendering them less effective.
Supplemental calcium can also interact with certain antiviral medications, including dolutegravir. Because specific spacing requirements vary by drug, individuals should consult a pharmacist or prescribing physician to schedule medication and supplement timing appropriately.
Evaluating the clinical effectiveness of calcium requires distinguishing between intermediate surrogate markers and hard patient outcomes. Measuring bone mineral density via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) provides an assessment of skeletal mass. However, an increase in bone density does not automatically translate into a lower risk of clinical bone fractures. Preventing fractures is the ultimate clinical goal of bone health therapies.
Randomized clinical trials examining calcium supplementation in community-dwelling older adults have generated mixed and often null results. A landmark systematic review and meta-analysis published in JAMA evaluated 33 randomized clinical trials encompassing 51,145 participants aged 50 and older. The analysis examined whether supplementation with calcium alone, vitamin D alone, or combined calcium and vitamin D reduced fracture incidence in community-dwelling adults.
The investigators found that neither calcium, vitamin D, nor combined supplementation produced a statistically significant reduction in hip fractures compared with placebo or no treatment. The meta-analysis also found no significant risk reductions for vertebral fractures, nonvertebral fractures, or total fracture events. These conclusions applied consistently across various subgroup analyses, regardless of participant sex, baseline dietary calcium intake, or supplement dosage.
The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) conducted a comprehensive systematic review of fracture prevention interventions. Based on available evidence, the USPSTF published a formal recommendation against daily supplementation with 400 IU or less of vitamin D and 1,000 mg or less of calcium for the primary prevention of fractures in community-dwelling postmenopausal women. The task force concluded that low-dose supplementation provides no clinical benefit for preventing fractures in this population.
The USPSTF also evaluated higher-dose regimens and supplementation in men and premenopausal women. They determined that existing trial evidence was inadequate to establish a net benefit for primary fracture prevention in these broader, asymptomatic groups. Subsequent draft statements have maintained this cautious stance regarding routine, unselected supplementation for community-dwelling adults without documented bone disease.
Dietary calcium intake from food sources exhibits a similar lack of linear correlation with fracture risk. A comprehensive systematic review of prospective cohort studies and clinical trials concluded that dietary calcium intake was not significantly associated with reduced fracture risk. Furthermore, clinical trials found no evidence that increasing dietary calcium intake from food sources prevented clinical fractures in community-dwelling populations.
Trial evidence regarding calcium is not entirely uniform, and study outcomes often depend heavily on the baseline health of the population studied. A separate meta-analysis of eight randomized trials summarized by the NIH reported a 15% reduction in total fracture risk and a 30% reduction in hip fracture risk when calcium was combined with vitamin D.
These contrasting findings largely stem from differences in study populations and baseline nutritional status. Trials conducted among frail, institutionalized older adults living in residential care facilities frequently demonstrate fracture reductions from combined calcium and vitamin D. Institutionalized individuals often have severe baseline vitamin D deficiency, low dietary calcium intake, and high rates of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Correcting profound deficiencies in high-risk institutional settings yields clear clinical benefits that are not replicated in well-nourished, community-dwelling populations.
There are several important limitations in interpreting calcium trial data. Many large trials suffer from poor participant compliance over multi-year follow-up periods. When participants do not regularly take assigned supplements, true biological effects can be obscured. Conversely, high drop-out rates, variable baseline dietary intakes, and inconsistent vitamin D status complicate data synthesis across trials.
The clinical trial evidence does not show that calcium is dispensable for skeletal health. Calcium remains a necessary structural component of bone tissue. These findings do not demonstrate that older adults should ignore established nutritional intake guidelines.
The evidence clearly indicates that exceeding nutritional adequacy through routine supplementation does not confer progressive fracture protection for healthy community-dwelling adults. Calcium supplements should not be viewed as an effective stand-alone intervention for preventing fractures in unselected populations.
Importantly, primary prevention guidelines do not apply to individuals who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, osteopenia, or malabsorption syndromes. People with established skeletal disease require comprehensive clinical management. The Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation emphasizes that osteoporosis care often requires targeted prescription medications, supervised resistance exercise, fall-prevention strategies, and personalized nutrition rather than unsupervised over-the-counter supplementation.
Calcium economy is governed by an integrated endocrine network that responds continuously to shifting mineral levels. Circulating ionized calcium in the extracellular fluid is detected by calcium-sensing receptors located on the surface of parathyroid gland cells. When serum calcium concentrations fall even slightly, the parathyroid glands rapidly increase the secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) into circulation.
Parathyroid hormone acts on multiple organ systems to restore serum calcium homeostasis. In the kidneys, PTH enhances calcium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubules, minimizing urinary calcium excretion. Simultaneously, PTH stimulates the renal enzyme 1-alpha-hydroxylase, which converts circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D into its active hormonal form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, also known as calcitriol.
Active calcitriol circulates to the small intestine, where it upregulates the synthesis of calcium transport proteins. Specifically, calcitriol binds to vitamin D receptors in enterocytes, inducing the expression of epithelial calcium channels and the intracellular transport protein calbindin-D9k. This active, transcellular transport pathway moves calcium ions across the intestinal barrier against a concentration gradient. When calcium intake is high, passive paracellular diffusion across tight junctions between intestinal cells accounts for a larger share of absorption.
If dietary intake and renal conservation are insufficient to maintain normal serum calcium levels, PTH acts directly on the skeletal system. Parathyroid hormone stimulates osteoblasts to increase the expression of Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor-kappa B Ligand (RANKL). RANKL binds to its receptor, RANK, on osteoclast precursor cells, stimulating their differentiation and maturation into active osteoclasts. These osteoclasts resorb bone mineral, releasing stored calcium into the bloodstream to defend systemic homeostasis at the expense of skeletal density.
Aging disrupts this regulatory system through multiple biological pathways. Intestinal resistance to calcitriol develops with age, partly due to a reduction in the density of mucosal vitamin D receptors. Concurrently, age-related declines in renal function reduce the kidney's capacity to synthesize active calcitriol. These combined deficits lower fractional calcium absorption efficiency in the gut, prompting compensatory rises in baseline PTH secretion, a state known as secondary hyperparathyroidism.
Hormonal senescence further alters bone turnover kinetics. Estrogen normally exerts a suppressive effect on osteoclast activity and downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines that promote bone resorption. The sharp decline in circulating estradiol during menopause removes this protective restraint, leading to a marked increase in osteoclastic remodeling space and accelerated bone loss.
Mechanical loading plays a fundamental role in maintaining skeletal strength alongside biochemical regulation. Osteocytes, the resident mechanosensory cells embedded within the mineralized bone matrix, detect physical strain and fluid shear stress generated during weight-bearing movement. When stimulated by mechanical force, osteocytes downregulate sclerostin, a protein that normally inhibits bone formation. This signaling pathway allows osteoblasts to deposit new bone matrix in areas subject to mechanical stress.
Nutritional calcium provides the necessary mineral substrate for bone maintenance, but it requires mechanical loading to stimulate proper structural remodeling. Inactivity leads to rapid bone loss regardless of calcium intake, while regular weight-bearing physical activity helps preserve bone architecture and reduce fall risk in older adults. For a broader perspective on the biology of aging, read our review of aging and longevity science.
While calcium is an essential nutrient, excessive intake carries clear physiological risks. Adverse effects are most frequently associated with high-dose supplemental regimens rather than dietary calcium consumed from whole foods. Understanding these safety parameters helps older adults avoid unnecessary health complications.
The most common side effects of calcium supplementation involve the gastrointestinal tract. Supplemental calcium, particularly calcium carbonate, can cause constipation, intestinal gas, abdominal bloating, and epigastric discomfort. These symptoms occur when unabsorbed calcium salts alter fluid balance and motility in the bowel.
Gastrointestinal symptoms can often be managed by reducing single doses to 500 mg or less, taking supplements with meals, increasing dietary fluid and fiber, or switching to calcium citrate formulations.
Chronically consuming calcium in excess of the 2,000 mg daily upper limit can lead to hypercalcemia or hypercalciuria. Hypercalcemia occurs when circulating calcium levels exceed normal physiological ranges. Symptoms of mild to moderate hypercalcemia include fatigue, muscle weakness, nausea, loss of appetite, constipation, and frequent urination. Severe hypercalcemia can cause renal impairment, calcification of soft tissues, and cardiac arrhythmias.
Kidney stone formation is a recognized risk associated with certain patterns of calcium supplementation. Nephrolithiasis occurs when stone-forming salts, most commonly calcium oxalate, reach supersaturation in the urine and precipitate into solid crystals.
The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) randomized clinical trial evaluated 36,282 postmenopausal women assigned to receive either 1,000 mg of elemental calcium plus 400 IU of vitamin D daily or a matching placebo. Over an average follow-up period of seven years, participants in the calcium and vitamin D group experienced a statistically significant 17% increase in the incidence of urinary tract and kidney stones.
Interestingly, dietary calcium from whole foods exhibits an opposite relationship with stone formation. When calcium is consumed as part of a meal, it binds directly to dietary oxalates within the stomach and small intestine. This binding forms insoluble calcium oxalate complexes that pass harmlessly through the digestive tract and are eliminated in stool.
By preventing oxalate absorption into the bloodstream, dietary calcium reduces the amount of oxalate excreted by the kidneys, lowering urinary stone risk. Conversely, taking calcium supplements between meals or in high single doses can elevate urinary calcium excretion without providing the intestinal oxalate-binding benefit, raising stone susceptibility.
Subsequent meta-analyses summarized in NIH professional reviews have noted variable stone risk across different study populations. However, individuals with a personal history of nephrolithiasis or hypercalciuria should exercise caution and consult a healthcare provider before initiating supplemental calcium.
The potential relationship between calcium supplementation and cardiovascular disease has been an area of active scientific inquiry and debate. Some researchers have hypothesized that high-dose calcium supplements cause transient spikes in blood calcium concentrations. These postprandial surges might accelerate vascular calcification, increase arterial stiffness, or promote carotid and coronary artery plaque instability.
Observational studies and secondary trial analyses have generated conflicting data regarding this hypothesis. Some observational cohort analyses have reported modest statistical associations between high supplemental calcium intake and increased risks of myocardial infarction or cardiovascular events.
However, subsequent comprehensive systematic reviews and clinical trial evaluations have not confirmed a causal link. An extensive evidence review commissioned by the National Osteoporosis Foundation and the American Society for Preventive Cardiology analyzed randomized trials and prospective cohort studies. The panel concluded that current evidence does not demonstrate an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, or all-cause mortality from calcium intake that remains within established daily reference ranges.
The consensus among major clinical organizations is that consuming recommended amounts of calcium (1,000 to 1,200 mg per day) from food and carefully sized supplements does not increase cardiovascular risk in healthy adults. However, consuming intakes that exceed the 2,000 mg daily upper limit provides no cardiovascular benefit and should be avoided.
In popular health discussions, nutritional adequacy is sometimes incorrectly equated with life extension. Calcium is an essential mineral required to sustain normal biological function and skeletal integrity. However, adequate mineral intake does not alter the fundamental biological rate of human aging or directly prolong total lifespan.
Long-term clinical trial data demonstrate that calcium supplementation does not reduce overall mortality rates. A comprehensive follow-up analysis of a large randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluated mortality outcomes over an extended period. The researchers found that assignment to daily calcium supplementation produced no statistically significant difference in all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, or cancer mortality compared with placebo.
The hazard ratio for all-cause mortality in the calcium group was 1.03, with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 0.94 to 1.13. These data demonstrate that supplemental calcium intake neither shortens nor extends human survival compared with standard dietary habits. Broad meta-analyses examining combined calcium and vitamin D trials have similarly found no consistent, statistically significant association with reduced all-cause mortality in general adult populations.
Observational cohort studies assessing long-term dietary calcium intake and mortality have yielded mixed associations. Some large prospective cohorts describe neutral relationships across varying intake levels. Other studies report non-linear, U-shaped associations where both very low intakes (below 500 mg daily) and excessively high intakes (above 1,500 to 2,000 mg daily) correlate with higher mortality hazard ratios.
Observational associations cannot prove direct cause-and-effect relationships. Individuals with very low calcium intakes often experience overall dietary inadequacy, socioeconomic disparities, or chronic comorbidities. Conversely, individuals who consume high quantities of multiple dietary supplements may engage in health-seeking behaviors or possess underlying medical conditions that confound raw observational data. You can explore how clinical markers and physiological age measures are evaluated in our overview of age, biomarkers, and diagnostics.
Confusing bone mineral density with systemic longevity overlooks basic physiological distinctions. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry measures skeletal mineral content, which reflects structural resistance to mechanical trauma. Bone mineral density is a valuable biomarker for evaluating osteoporosis risk, but it does not measure cellular senescence, mitochondrial capacity, systemic inflammation, or vascular health.
Calcium supports skeletal homeostasis by providing the mineral substrate required for daily physiological maintenance. Once baseline nutritional requirements are satisfied, increasing mineral intake provides no additional benefit for biological age or functional longevity. Healthy aging is best supported by a balanced diet that meets established nutritional targets, regular resistance and weight-bearing physical activity, and evidence-based medical care.

Yes. Over-the-counter antacids often contain calcium carbonate as their primary active ingredient. A single antacid tablet can contain between 200 mg and 400 mg of elemental calcium.
If you consume multiple antacid tablets daily for acid indigestion, you must include that mineral quantity when calculating your total intake. Combining high-dose antacids with dietary calcium and daily multivitamins can unintentionally push your intake above the 2,000 mg Tolerable Upper Intake Level, increasing your risk of kidney stones and hypercalciuria.
Supplement timing depends primarily on the chemical formulation you use and your daily medication schedule. Calcium carbonate requires stomach acid for proper dissolution, making it best to take with meals, such as breakfast or dinner.
Calcium citrate can be taken at any time because it dissolves independently of food or gastric acid levels. If you need to take more than 500 mg of elemental calcium per day, split the dose into two smaller portions taken at separate times, such as morning and evening. This approach optimizes intestinal absorption efficiency.
Always ensure your calcium supplement is separated by at least four hours from medications like levothyroxine or certain antibiotics.
No. Calcium is an essential nutritional foundation, but it is not an effective stand-alone treatment for established osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a progressive skeletal disease characterized by microarchitectural deterioration and significant bone mass loss.
Clinical practice guidelines emphasize that individuals diagnosed with osteoporosis require a comprehensive medical plan. This plan often includes prescription antiresorptive or bone-forming medications, targeted fall-prevention strategies, and supervised weight-bearing exercise alongside adequate calcium and vitamin D intake. Supplements alone cannot rebuild severely depleted bone architecture.
Individuals with low stomach acid production, such as those with atrophic gastritis or those using long-term acid-suppressing medications like proton pump inhibitors, should select calcium citrate. Calcium carbonate requires an acidic environment in the stomach to dissociate into free calcium ions.
Without adequate gastric acid, calcium carbonate remains largely insoluble and passes unabsorbed through the bowel, frequently causing bloating and constipation. Calcium citrate dissolves readily in neutral or low-acid environments, providing reliable mineral absorption regardless of digestive acid levels.
