Dicalcium Malate
A concentrated calcium supplement for individuals most at risk for calcium inadequacy
DiCalcium Malate contains DimaCal®, which is optimally absorbed and is more concentrated than other calcium forms, providing more calcium per capsule.
Research indicates that a large proportion of the U.S. adult population does not consume the 1,300 mg of calcium the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends for daily dietary intake. Individuals who are at the most risk for calcium inadequacy because of decreased intake, disordered metabolism, decreased absorption, increased loss, or increased need include peri- and postmenopausal women, vegans, individuals who take certain prescription and OTC medications, and those with a vitamin D deficiency (because vitamin D is necessary for calcium absorption). Thorne's DiCalcium Malate (DimaCal®), with 250 mg per capsule, is more concentrated than other forms of calcium (such as calcium carbonate), and is absorbed significantly better than calcium carbonate.
DiCalcium Malate consists of one molecule of malic acid that is bound to two molecules of calcium, which results in a compound that is 29-percent calcium – compared to calcium citrate, which is 19-percent calcium – thus resulting in more elemental calcium per capsule.
Those individuals most at risk for inadequate calcium intake are:
- Peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women
- Women with irregular menstruation, particularly women in which this is due to prolonged athletic activity or strenuous military service
- Individuals on a dairy-free diet
- Vegetarians and vegans, because their diets are higher in plant-derived phytates and oxalates that inhibit calcium absorption
- Pregnant women, particularly women with a history of gestational hypertension
- Individuals on prescription and OTC medications such as antacids (H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors) that can inhibit absorption, or glucocorticoids such as prednisone that can increase calcium loss
- Individuals with a vitamin D deficiency – because vitamin D is necessary for calcium absorption
Take 1 capsule two times daily or as recommended by your health professional.

Let customers speak for us
from 927 reviewsI have been coming here for years. They have always taken care of me each time with patience. A staple in the community and my life. Thank you.
You can find almost any kind of supplement here. And Brian is an absolute treasure; he's super-knowledgeable, and his suggestions and guidance have been extremely valuable!
Samento, Immune/Microbial Support
Started taking after neck fusion surgery to relieve pressure on nerves. Recovery had stalled and function was reduced in my right arm due to nerve damage. After starting Lion's Mane at Village Green's suggestion began to regain function with continued improvement over the next months. Also reduced frequency and severity of nerve 'blasts' in my leg from unrelated issue -- believe me, I take it every day!
My favorite bitters - will purchase again!
The Village Green Apothecary is the only place I go for prescription refills and supplements. They have experts available who answer your questions and take their time to help you find exactly what you need to support your overall wellbeing. Highly highly recommend checking them out.
It does what it is supposed to.
Can't say that about other products I have tried.
I've bought a lot of supplements from this store for probably decades. While recommended by my doctor originally, I continue to use them. While they are very busy, they are pleasant and very helpful. For someone who had lots of allergies to different ingredients, they had products I could tolerate. I used to shop only in person but now that I don't frequent their area, I use their mail order. Love them.
