Calcium citrate & elemental calcium

Sue, thank you for the info! My mind has not been at ease for 4 months.., but I’m adjusting. It’s confusing because if I take calcium carbonate it has 40% elemental calcium, so I would be getting 480mg out of the 1200mg pills??? Would I benefit more from the carbonate?

It has been a while since I studied this issue, but my PCP told me Calcium Citrate is absorbed better than Calcium Carbonate, so the effect would be similar.
