Anyone have any feedback on this liquid calcium supplement?

Hey gang. I found a liquid calcium supplement the other day at the local health store, but I am unsure if it is a good thing for us. It is a calcium + mag + vitamin D supplement made by Innovative Natural Products. The web page is: http://www.inponline.com/catalog/calcium.htm . I am a bit confused by the label on this product. It says it contains Calcium as ( Citrate, Orotate, and Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite ). 1200mg (250mg)*. A footnote at the bottom of the label says that numbers in the parenthases is the amount of ELEMENTAL calcium present. So... I have 2 questions really. 1) I know calcium carbonate is a no-no and we need to go for citrate, but what about these other 2 forms of calcium in this product? More absorbable, or less? 2) What the heck do they mean when they say on the label that it has 1200mg of calcium, but that 1200mg only has 250mg of elemental calcium? Can anyone shed some light on the usefullness of this product?
