Orotic acid is a biochemical substance made naturally by the human body; orotates are mineral salts created by binding a mineral to orotic acid. The controversial German physician Hans Nieper used them as transporters to deliver higher amounts of active minerals directly into inner cell membranes. Nieper believed that calcium orotate could deliver calcium to the body where it was most needed and without the toxicity or side effects that came with other treatments. In Nieper's medical clinic in Germany, he successfully treated hundreds of patients with ailments such as osteoporosis, cancer, high blood pressure, arthritis, heart disease, multiple sclerosis and liver conditions such as chronic hepatitis.

This medication is used to prevent or treat low blood calcium levels in people who do not get enough calcium from their diets. It may be used to treat conditions caused by low calcium levels such as bone loss (osteoporosis), weak bones (osteomalacia/rickets), decreased activity of the parathyroid gland (hypoparathyroidism), and a certain muscle disease (latent tetany). It may also be used in certain patients to make sure they are getting enough calcium (e.g., women who are pregnant, nursing, or postmenopausal, people taking certain medications such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, or prednisone).
