Abstract
Effects of active amino acid calcium (AAACa) on intestinal absorption, osteoporosis, and removal of plutonium were examined and the following results were obtained. [1] AAACa was absorbed more rapidly from the small intestine to raise serum levels of calcium to a significantly higher level than CaCO3 did inrats and beagle dogs. [2] Dietary AAACa supplement had beneficial effects to prevent and alleviate osteoporosis in ovariectomized rats. [3] Dietary AAACa supplement could reduce contents of plutonium in rat bone. In conclusion, these results indicate that AAACa has a high bioavailabirity to influence the bone metabolism favorably.
