Calcium Carbonate Powder
1 kilogram
Item Catalog Number:
058

Calcium carbonate is an inexpensive supplement, which is an effective source of calcium for many people, but not for those with inadequate stomach acid or other absorption problems. Since older people often have such problems, this product is not recommended as a calcium source for those over 50. However, calcium carbonate is a very good buffering agent to be added to acidic vitamins in solution in order to neutralize their pH and make them more palatable with fewer side effects.52
