Calcium fructate is a calcium salt derived from fructic acid and is sometimes marketed as a supplement to support bone health and the skeletal system. The rationale for its use is primarily based on its function as a source of calcium, an essential mineral for maintaining bone density and structure. There is some scientific evidence, mostly from animal studies and limited human trials, suggesting that calcium fructate is well absorbed and may support bone mineralization similarly to other calcium salts. However, direct evidence for its superiority or unique benefit compared to other calcium sources (such as calcium carbonate or calcium citrate) is limited. Some in vitro and animal research has indicated that fructates may enhance calcium bioavailability and potentially reduce bone loss, but robust, large-scale clinical trials in humans are lacking. Therefore, while there is a scientific foundation for calcium’s general role in bone health, the specific use of calcium fructate for supporting the skeletal system is supported by only modest evidence. More research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and to determine whether it offers any significant advantages over other forms of calcium supplementation.
