    Original title: Science Journal ScienceDaily: ACC Calcium Supplements from Crustacean Shells

    Researchers at Ben Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have developed a unique technique that stabilizes an otherwise unstable form of calcium carbonate


    Calcium is considered one of the most important minerals in the body for maintaining bone mass and coronary artery health


    "Since most adults today achieve their daily dietary calcium intake through supplements, this new form will prove even more beneficial," said Dr.


    This type of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) consists of unstable nanoscale particles, according to new research published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research


    Using new technology inspired by natural processes in crustaceans, BGU researchers tested this synthetic ACC compound against other commonly used calcium supplements


    Experiments on laboratory animals have shown that ACC compounds have up to 40% higher absorption and retention rates in blood and 30% higher absorption and retention rates in bone compared to other calcium sources
