Based on 2 Researches
We explored the role of calcium in promoting blood coagulation using a new zeolite-embedded regenerated cellulose aerogel (Z-RCA). This innovative hemostatic agent was designed to minimize common issues seen with previous zeolite-based products, like heat-induced tissue damage and unwanted blood clotting elsewhere in the body.
Our results showed that this aerogel effectively absorbed blood while releasing calcium ions, which play a crucial role in the blood clotting process. By combining the properties of zeolite and the calcium-releasing ability of the aerogel, we found that Z-RCA not only facilitated quicker blood clotting but did so safely, with less risk of adverse effects.
In animal trials, we observed that Z-RCA stopped bleeding faster than existing options like Quikclot and notably reduced blood loss by over 62%. This combination of effectiveness and safety makes Z-RCA a promising solution for achieving efficient hemostasis during emergencies.

Calcium type affects clot riskThrombotic Complications Associated With Right Atrial Lines in Neonates and Infants Undergoing Cardiac Surgery. Is Calcium Chloride a Culprit?
High relevance to thrombotic outcomes
We explored the impact of different calcium infusions on clotting risks in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery. Our study involved analyzing data from 135 babies who received either calcium chloride or calcium gluconate during their treatment.
The findings highlighted a significant concern: when using calcium chloride, the incidence of thrombotic events was notably higher compared to those treated with calcium gluconate. Specifically, the odds of experiencing a blood clot were over three times greater in patients given calcium chloride.
With an overall thrombus occurrence of 9.9%, we observed that only 4.6% of the group receiving calcium gluconate developed such complications compared to 15% in the calcium chloride group. The evidence suggests that switching from calcium chloride to calcium gluconate could potentially reduce the risk of harmful blood clots in these vulnerable patients.

Blood pressure stabilised
A great mix! My wife had severe blood pressure issues until I realised our previous magnesium-calcium supplement had changed, removing calcium. After switching to Now supplements, her blood pressure returned to normal. We found iHerb offered this at a better price, so we’ll continue buying from them.

Reduced diabetes symptoms
Essential for diabetes! I purchased it for my mother with diabetes and she took it nightly for 3 weeks. Her fasting blood sugar level gradually decreased to 102, which is normal. I've repurchased it for her to continue taking.
I bought this for my mother with diabetes. She feels better after taking it, so I’ll keep providing it. Calcium can also help lower blood pressure, and since it's not a pressed capsule, there’s no waste.
Very effective! Despite the pills being large, I manage to take them. The quality ingredients are beneficial for lowering blood pressure. I ensure my child takes one before bed to prevent any issues, making it a supplement I intend to continue using long-term.
Useful for bone health and lowering blood pressure! My slightly high blood pressure improved when I combined this supplement with my medication. My hair also grew faster and stronger. The tablets may be large for some, so I recommend taking with vitamin D3 and K2 for better absorption.
