It matters what kind of calcium you get

The calcium myth
by Dr. Susan E. Brown, PhD

It matters what kind of calcium you get
Calcium comes in many different forms. Even with the other nutrients needed for its absorption, some forms are not as readily absorbed as others. With all the different kinds of calcium supplements available, how do you choose, and how should you take them? Use the following points as a guide:
Calcium citrate is a highly absorbable calcium compound. This form does not require the hydrochloric acid HC1 in the stomach to be absorbed. Thus, calcium citrate is very readily absorbed or bioavailable, and a good choice for people with low stomach acid.
Calcium ascorbate and calcium carbonate are generally not as easily absorbed as the citrate forms if HCl is low. However, they are absorbed quite readily when taken with food.
Generally speaking, all types of calcium are absorbed more easily if taken with meals, no matter what form you choose.
