A form of calcium
Calcium malate supplements
681 calcium products in the NIH label database list calcium as calcium malate (3% of the 19,724 calcium products); their median is 200 mg of calcium per serving, against 115 mg across all calcium products (DSLD version 9.4.0, January 2026).
How does calcium malate compare with the other forms?
The median amount of calcium per serving in products naming each form; the count in brackets. The amount is the calcium the label gives, as printed (the Supplement Facts row normally states the element; a row named as the compound usually gives the compound's weight and is left out of these figures).

Is the amount the calcium or the whole calcium malate?
A Supplement Facts row normally states the calcium itself (a row like "Calcium (as calcium malate)"); a row named as the compound (a row like "Calcium malate") usually states the compound's weight, which includes what the calcium is bound to and is larger than the calcium it supplies. The front of a bottle may print either. Of the 681 products here, 680 give the calcium in its own row (3 of them an amount far outside what other labels list, or one their own %DV disagrees with); 1 gives only a row named as the compound, left out of the medians and counts on this site.
The adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level for calcium is 2,500 mg a day; it covers total intake, adults 19-50, 2,000 mg from 51 years. At the most servings their labels direct, 10 of the 677 calcium malate products with a plausible amount (1.5%) give more than that.
