Is Citracal or Caltrate better?

Calcium carbonate (Caltrate) should be taken with meals since it requires stomach acid to dissolve and absorb. Also, calcium carbonate has the most calcium per pill (40%), therefore you need to take fewer pills. In some people, calcium carbonate causes constipation. Calcium citrate (Citracal) can be absorbed on an empty stomach and is not as dependent on stomach acid for absorption. However, it has less calcium per pill (20%), so you have to take more pills. It does not cause constipation.


Should vitamin D and calcium be taken at the same time?

I use a very good supplement - Caltrate Plus - it has vitamin D plus minerals which the bones need; I have Osteoporosis - thinning of the bones through lose of calcium - I discovered that vitamin D is essential for the bones to absorb calcium better - the other mierals in Caltrate ,also enhance the body's absorption of this essential vitamin. We all need more calcium as we age - women in particular. Calcium on its own is not enough - the other vitamins & minerals are necessary for healthy bones. many supermarkets as well as chemists stock Caltrate Plus - the purple box.
