Best Calcium Supplement?

Posted by SRKONA @trixie5141, Apr 22, 2024

Which is the best type of calcium supplement? I've been taking calcium citrate (Citracal) which I understand is more easily absorbed than calcium carbonate (Caltrate). Most recently I've been hearing about calcium phosphate as an alternative. I like that it is available as a powder and may be less constipating than calcium citrate but it seems that is calcium phosphate is more for pets. Your thoughts?

@daisy17 I ordered AOR Peak K2 last night and used a 20% off code. I'm going to start with taking one along with my K2 MK7, then go to two then three after I see that I tolerate it well.
