Below are
some common forms of calcium available today and how they compare for
absorbability.
Calcium Carbonate
Calcium Carbonate is 40% calcium. Only 10% of the calcium is
absorbed from the carbonate. So for every 1,000 mg calcium carbonate 40%
or 400 mg is calcium. Of this 400 mg 10% is absorbed, or only
40 mg of useable calcium.
Tribasic Calcium Phosphate
Calcium phosphate is 39% calcium. Only 10% of the calcium is
absorbed from the phosphate. So for every 1,000 mg calcium phosphate 39%
or 390 mg is calcium. Of this 390 mg 10% is absorbed, or only
39 mg of useable calcium.
Calcium Lactate
Found in dairy products. Calcium lactate is 37% calcium. Only 33%
of the calcium is absorbed from the lactate. So for every 1,000 mg of
calcium lactate 37% or 370 mg is calcium. Of this 370 mg 33% is
absorbed, or only 122 mg of useable calcium.
Calcium Citrate
Calcium citrate is 21% calcium. Only 50% of the calcium is
absorbed from the citrate. So for every 1,000 mg calcium citrate 21% or
210 mg is calcium. Of this 210 mg 50% is absorbed, or only
105 mg of useable calcium.
Coral Calcium
Coral Calcium is 24% calcium. 95% is absorbed from the coral. So
for every 1,000 mg coral calcium 24% or 240 mg is calcium. Of this 240
mg 95% is absorbed, or 228 mg of useable calcium.
This is more than twice as much as Calcium Citrate!
Almost 6 times as much as Calcium Carbonate! Your body needs and prefers Coral
Calcium!
