Journey SuperCal is Easy Calcium. No Two-Hour Rule! For 25 years, we've been told 'bariatric patients need calcium citrate, but there are now more modern, specialized forms of calcium that are even better than ordinary calcium citrate. The calcium form used in Journey SuperCal, patented Dimacal - Dicalcium Malate - does not require acidification for absorption and is absorbed over a much longer segment of the small intestine, giving the bariatric post-surgical patient a much larger surface area for uptake. These properties make SuperCal ideal for bariatric calcium supplementation. Not all calcium is alike. Dicalcium malate is an especially rich source of elemental calcium since it is comprised of two calcium molecules attached to each malic acid molecule. Malic acid is a naturally occurring compound found in apples and cherries. In a study of calcium absorption in humans, dicalcium malate demonstrated the longest half-life and greatest bioavailability, compared to other forms of calcium.
