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.
