Chelates are stable, electrically neutral complexes which protect trace minerals from chemical reactions during digestion that would render the mineral unavailable. Cal-Min contains chelated calcium, which makes the calcium more bioavailable for the support of strong bones and teeth and for general good health.

Calcium has the potential to interact with certain medications, and several types of medications might adversely affect calcium levels:

Dolutegravir. Dolutegravir (Dovato, Tivicay) is an HIV integrase inhibitor. The combination of these medications and calcium can reduce blood levels of dolutegravir substantially. Labels approved by the FDA for dolutegravir advise patients to take dolutegravir 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking calcium supplements.

Lithium. Long-term use of lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid), a treatment for bipolar disorder, can lead to hypercalcemia, and use of both lithium and calcium supplements could increase this risk.

Quinolone antibiotics. Use of calcium supplements and quinolone antibiotics together, such as ciprofloxacin (Cipro), gemifloxacin (Factive), and moxifloxacin (Avelox), can reduce the absorption of quinolones. Take the antibiotic 2 hours before or 2 hours after calcium supplements prevents this effect.
