Chewable Calcium CARBONATE

Hello,

Does anyone take the chewable Calcium CARBONATE instead of the awful chalky calcium CITRATE........Is there a differance between the CARBONATE and the CITRATE?  Thanks 

carbonate is a waste, you do not absorb it. You want the citrate.

Yes, there is a huge difference.  My surgeon told me to take the citrate, because calcium citrate is easier to absorb than calcium carbonate, and we do have absorbtion issues.

That's a Melaluka (sp) product. So tell me, as I don't understand this, where is it absorbed and how is it different than my other stuff.....I'm a bit confused...

Yes, it is a Melaleuca product.  What the scientist found is that most companies tested thier product using the PH levels in the stomach, and saw the the pill would break down to be absorbed... great right? Well absorbsion does not take place in the stomach it takes place in the intestine as we all know too well. This has a very different ph level.  what is happening with all the other vitamins that were tested is that when they reach the intestine the higher PH level was crystalizing the minerals making it virtually impossible for them to get through the intestinal lining, therefore they were not being absorbed.  In addition taking other vitamins may be destroying all antioxidents before they can be absorbed, which is an E ticket for free radicals to run wild in your cells.  These supplements are incredible, scientifically proven, and I say this with great confidence and coviction: NO OTHER MINERAL SUPPLEMENT IS MORE BIO AVAILABLE THAN  THE MELALEUCA VITA-PACK.

Let me know if you would like more information.  Hopefully i have not confused you more with my banter..  I am just so excited about this product!

To your continued health and wellness!

nope, sorry, I like their toothpaste is about all. It's too bad the workings of RNY people are not understood better. There is nothing is that product that would do me any good....saving my money...thanks anyway, hope you do well with your business.

Thanks for all the info, 

You are just wasting your money and time.  We do not absorb carbonate.  You need stomach acid to acheive this.  You do not have it.  There are many others out there.  Bariatric Advantage has a calcium citrate crystals you can put it your water bottle.  It comes in 2 flavors lemon lime and unflavored.  I put the unflavored in crystal light.

I'll stick with the UpcalD........
