Easy to digest, as it is Calcium Citrate. Calcium Carbonate seems to need more stomach acid to digest/absorb so that one usually is recommended with meals. While this Calcium Citrate seems to me to have more flexibility on when it could be taken. (Though its label still suggests with meals).

Not all brands, & type of Calcium is alike... I have a paper that might help in choosing your calcium but heres my babbeling thoughts.....I'm well over 65 & was told I've Osteoporosis, had Osteoarthritis for years after an intense athletic youth. So I've been taking supplements most my life & haven't broken a bone unless you count my nose, in the ring. I've tipped over on my motorcycle which weighs 698lbs. So I laughed when the MRI saw bone loss... Granted its hard to absorbe Calcium & many really are tough on your tummy... In the 1970's my grandmother wolffed down Calcium derived from oyster shell, bone meal, dolomite, or coral... it always puzzled me to how oyster shell had anything that could benifit a human body in any way... aside from the pearl. Looks nice as a necklace not chrewing it up & hopes it goes to you bone. Really? So with that.... nonsense My advice...Mom's, start your daughter w/ calcium/magnesium & vit D, right after her 1st menses... BECAUSE loosing bone density in your later years...Sucks!! I'm not saying I'm not in pain but don't fool yourself that that white water helps ....Milk doesn't work! If cow calfs stop sucking the tit.... why are humans drinking it? You can't even imagine how powerful the Milk Lobby is $$$$ It actually works in the reverse... plus a calf has 5 stomachs as their mom... we have only one stomach & a very delicate gut. The Bain of Our Existence! So, I've chosen NOW's Calcium Citrate & found it was less irritating to the stomach, even though Cal Citrate has 21% calcium...& according to their lable (which has the other vits & minerals I mentioned for absorption w/ a nice Copper, Zinc & Manganese with all 3 derived from their Amino Acid Chelate...which is nice) So...One tab =450 MG on the lable is calculated by NOW, itself, as to 35% Calcium & 3 spaced out tabs a day.... giving you 115%...(?) ☆Better idea: Check out this in choosing and taking calcium supplements as found in the Harvard Special Health Report Osteoporosis: A guide to prevention and treatment: Good Luck & may you walk tall and proud until you can't.

The Now Calcium Citrate seems to be a good product from a reliable company. The price is reasonable. I take Calcium at the advice of a physician since I am almost 70 and the bones need a little extra help at this point. I also have had to take Prednisone and some chemo type drugs in the last 10 years and this is hard on the calcium (Bones) in the body. For this reason, I take the extra Calcium and will recommend it to others in my position.
