Which Supplement

In a good calcium supplement there are two types of calcium present.

You will find both the citrate and the carbornate form of Calcium present.. By combining the two types of calcium you are getting between 80 to 90 % calcium absorption into your bodies. If you choose any other brand on the market you will get around 20%.

So if other brands are also using calcium carbonate and if it is not so good why does some companies put it in.? To get the same effect with calcium carbonate you will need to take more. Hence it reduces the amount of carbonate and replaces it wih citrate.

Leading Nutritional manufacturer has found that by combining the two types it can increase the rate of absorption yet still keep it small enough to swallow.
