CALCIUM ASPARTATE BETTER FOR OSTEOPOROSIS THAN CALCIUM CARBONATE

Posted by karel @karel, Jul 4 5:28am

I HAVE READ THAT CALCIUM ASPARTATE ANHYDROUS IS BETTER FOR OSTEOPOROSIS AND CAN LOWER A DEXA SCAN BETTER THAN CALCIUM CARBONATE. IS THIS SO?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.
