Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 If you look on the bottle of coral calcium you will see " calcium carbonate. " The most absorbable forms of calcium are citrate and calcium citrate malate. The latter can be purchased at GNC stores. It is recommended you take the tablets at bedtime as that is when calcium is drawn from the bones if there is not enough in circulation or from other stores. Calcium carbonate requires hydrochloric acid in the stomach to be assimilated. The Ca. citrate-malate does not. A lot of hype out about coral calcium (beach sand).

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 Original message: Is calcium cabonate any good ?-- I have a supplement that contains calcium carbonate, magnesium, vitamin D , zinc, copper, manganese and boron. I also take extra magnesium and potassium compound. Liz --------- In my experience, IT DEPENDS. Not all carbonates are the same. I was taking what was supposedly a high quality calcium carbonate by KAL, years ago and had a test done and was shown to be very low in calcium. Now I take coral calcium which is a form of carbonate and I absorb it very well. My nails are white and strong and I can feel the difference in my body. When I was on the KAL product, my nails were almost clear and I didn't notice benefit from the product. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2001 Report Share Posted November 3, 2001 Some physicians are aware that ANY mineral supplement taken by itself shall cause problems. Including calcium in whatever form. Get your calcium from green leafy vegetables. (salad) If you cannot absorb it, find out why.
