Absorption by Form
What is Calcium Phosphate (DCP)?
Calcium Phosphate (DCP) is a Mineral supplement available in 1 form.
FormulaForge carries a single form of Calcium Phosphate (DCP), so there is no form to choose here. Forms on the market do differ in how well they absorb, which is why it is worth checking the form named on any product label.

The Science
The following studies and findings inform FormulaForge classifications for Calcium Phosphate (DCP):
Calcium phosphate supplementation produced positive calcium balance in elderly subjects. PMID: 2935812
Acute serum calcium response to oral tricalcium phosphate was comparable to that of calcium carbonate. PMID: 7866912
CURATOR-TEMPORARY DCR 0.556 (founder ruling 2026-10-08, DCR spec S6). Basis: label "Calcium (as Dibasic Calcium Phosphate) N mg" = elemental Ca (21 CFR 101.36); PNMD0007 "Calcium (as Calcium Bisglycinate Chelate)" = elemental Ca (E-254 precedent). Elemental both sides => DCR = absorption_DCP / absorption_bisglycinate = 0.250 / 0.450 = 0.5556 (elemental_percentages e1fbaf38 / 7cf45706). BOTH INPUTS UNCITED (no human fractional-absorption study found in PubMed for CaHPO4 or calcium bisglycinate) — HQ-Ca-1/2 owed; the ontology engine overtakes this value once cited inputs exist.
