Someone mentioned in a thread, I think it was Haidut, the idea of making a calcium bicarbonate drink using the same method that is done for magnesium with milk of magnesia and carbonated water. Then possibly combining the two in a ratio of 3:2.
Since milk of magnesia is just Magnesium Hydroxide, could the same be done with Calcium Hydroxide? A commercial source I found is slaked lime, which is labeled as Calcium Hyrdoxide. I don't know how pure it is, but it is sold as food grade for pickling.
I don't seem to be absorbing much calcium from dairy right now and I'm not always in the mood for a large serving of dairy three times a day, so it would be nice to have another option. Has anybody tried something like this? Do you think it would be a safe way to supplement calcium?
