Hi all,
Is anyone aware of the possible pros and cons of each form?
Most people that have recipes for eggshell calcium, or other forms of powdered calcium carbonate, do the additional step of letting it react with citric acid in citrus fruit for some time before taking it.
Blossom made me aware of the issue with citric acid. However it's just a small amount..
Is it better reacted or plain? Why?
And how both of them compare to calcium phosphate in dairy products?
I guess taking the calcium supplement with food might interfere with the absorption of other minerals, but still preferable than taking away from meals. Perhaps taking it along with iron-rich meals?
I'm ignorant in chemistry so any suggestions and speculations are welcome.
Edit: forgot to add that, when reacted with citric acid it becomes mushy and tasteless, and prabably much easier to absorb..
