I do not and would not, after looking at the marketing materials, but everyone has to make their own decision. It seems nice and convenient to get a prepackaged solution that will “feed” your bones, give you hope and peace of mind that you are doing somethingjust like makers of a beauty product sell cosmetics to enhance your looks.

Supplemental calcium is available in pill form as either calcium carbonate or calcium citrate. Ca carbonate should be taken with food, and when food is calcium fortified, Ca carbonate has been added. You will see that if you read the ingredient list. Ca citrate does not need to be taken with food. If you take too much supplemental calcium daily in pill form, you bones cannot use it. As far as I know, there have not been studies on supplemental calcium and whether or not it is effective. There is just a lot about the human body that we do not know.

In my case, I am currently taking Ca citrate petites and may alternate it with Ca carbonate…we will see.

Hope this helps.

Forgot to mention that the study mentioned in their marketing materials does not sound like an a dependent study..

What about calcium from algae
