rates of absorption basically
also calcium citrate will not contribute to the formation of kidney stones, whereas all the other forms of calcium most certainly will.

Magnesium Citrate With Calcium

calcium citrate with magnesium citrate is utilized better by the body. calcium carbonate is ground oyster shells and provides very little usable calcium. calcium and magnesium should be taken together in 2/1 ratio for proper absorption. some current research suggests vitamin D supplement with the cal/mag increases absorption

Calcium Carbonate is a metallic form of the supplement and your body can't absorb it anything supplement with fate at the end of the information should not be used..citrate's , asparitates and gluconates are better to take..The best best Calcium supplement would be a Cal, Mag and Potassium for optimum use of your body..
Chelation is another process that ensures maximum absorption of the product...

First any form of calcium within limits will not I repeat will not cause the formation of kidney stones. Now the difference is that calcium citrate is calcium bound to citric acid. This increases the absorption of the calcium esp. in older persons. A calcium/Mag. supplement likely will be calcium carbonate, the cheapest and poorest form of calcium to take. Keep in mind that whatever form you decide you also need about 600 iu of vitamin to absorb any calcium.

Calcium carbonate (the one that is in TUMS and reduces acid) has antacid effects (of course..) and calcium citrate does not.
This is important because calcium needs acid in order for uptake to happen.
So if you use calcium carbonate you have to eat a meal with it in order for your stomach to produce enough acid.
Calcium citrate doesn't require that.. so you choose based on your needs.
