Does your calcium dissolve? Try this test.

Hi, While sitting in my new PCP's exam room the other day, pinned to the bulletin board was this note: Some of us may not know it, but the calcium tablets (they should be calcium citrate) we are taking do not break down (or dissolve) in our systems and we are just throwing money out the window and our bodies are not getting the required amount of calcium it needs (we're essentiall pooping them out whole)... Try this test: Drop one of your calcium tablets into a cup filled with 6 ounces of vinegar (I don't think it matters what kind it is, I use white distilled vinegar) Check the cup every 5 minutes and give it a stir If the pill is not dissolved in one half an hour, it won't dissolve and that means it isn't getting dissolved into your system. TIME TO BUY AND CHANGE BRANDS OF YOUR CALCIUM! Thought I'd pass this along since we all need our calcium! Paula
