Calcium Supplements: Citrate vs. Carbonate & Best Brands for Women

Question
Hi,
I was wondering if you can give me some advice regarding calcium supplements.  I am a woman 42 yrs. old and there are so many calcium supplements, it is very confusing.
I would like to know which is better calcium citrate or carbonate and also, if there is any specific brand you would possibily recommend.
thanks,
Dolores

Answer
Ca is Ca is Ca is Ca.  One is not better than another.  Coral calcium is B-S.... no better than cheap old ca.  Calcium carbonate has a nice side effect of helping with indigestion/heartburn.  But they are all the same, and with a normal diet, 500 mg daily Ca supplement is sufficient.

Hope this helps.....

PS... the chocolate flavored stuff tastes pretty good, but is still the same....
