What it is used for

Calcium orotate is a calcium supplement used when the diet does not provide enough calcium. It may be advised to support bone health in people with thin bones (osteoporosis) or at risk of them, and during pregnancy, breastfeeding and older age, when calcium needs are higher. It is often used alongside vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium.

How it works

It supplies calcium, joined to orotic acid, which the body uses to build and maintain bones and teeth. Calcium is also needed for normal nerve signals, muscle movement and heartbeat.

Important safety information

Common side effects

Calcium supplements can cause constipation, bloating, wind or mild stomach upset. Most people tolerate them well when used as advised.

Talk to a doctor or pharmacist first

  • People who have had kidney stones or have kidney disease
  • Anyone with high calcium levels in the blood, or conditions such as an overactive parathyroid gland or sarcoidosis
  • Anyone taking tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics, thyroid medicine, iron, or bisphosphonates for bones, as calcium can reduce their absorption
  • People taking digoxin or thiazide water tablets
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women who already take another calcium or vitamin product

Warnings

  • Do not take more than advised. Too much calcium can cause constipation, kidney stones and high blood calcium, with thirst, passing a lot of urine, nausea or confusion.
  • Calcium can interfere with some medicines if taken at the same time. Ask your pharmacist how to space them.
  • Check the labels of multivitamins and other supplements so you do not take calcium from several products at once.

How is calcium orotate different from calcium carbonate?

Both supply calcium, but in different chemical forms. Calcium carbonate is widely used and often combined with vitamin D. Your doctor or pharmacist can advise which suits you.

Do I need vitamin D with a calcium supplement?

Yes, constipation is one of the more common side effects. Drinking enough water and eating fibre-rich foods can help; talk to your pharmacist if it continues.
