Calcium carbonate is 40% calcium; 60% is carbon and oxygen. Only 39% of that calcium gets absorbed at best.

It’s not uncommon to only absorb 6% of the calcium!

If you take 1000 mg of calcium carbonate, here’s the formula for what you are really getting: 1000 x 40 x .39 = 156mg calcium.

Calcium carbonate is cheap, useless & a waste of money.

Get your calcium from real foods such as veggies, non-pasteurized milk & non-pasteurized milk products such as cheese, cream, butter, yogurt and kefir.

You will be by far a healthier person for it!
