What’s everyone’s opinion about using plant milk with added calcium carbonate. I’ve heard it is hard to digest. Do you count it toward your total calcium for the day?

Almond juice has oxalates which inhibit calcium absorption. My internal MD plus my Endo say dairy is best

Having fortified plant milk is the same as taking a supplement so yes, you would count it towards your daily calcium intake. Calcium carbonate is more difficult to digest and needs to be taken with food. The plant milk itself may aid in absorption somewhat but best to eat something along with it.
