Calcium citrate reduces constipation risk
We examined how calcium citrate affects constipation in patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism. In a randomized, double-blind study involving 24 participants, we found that those taking calcium citrate experienced significantly less constipation compared to those on calcium carbonate. Although both treatments maintained similar serum calcium and phosphorus levels, calcium citrate showed a favorable reduction in urinary oxalate excretion. However, there were no changes in overall quality of life scores. More extensive studies are needed to further assess these outcomes.
