Re: Calcium Supplements-lead?

[Guest guest]

i give my kids Kirkman's labs calcium powder (you can bake with it,

it is tasteless).

i would give them a call, they are very good, and ask them about the

lead.

i use their products and have extremely sensitive kids and we do well

with their hypoallergenic stuff.

I hope Kirkman's calcium powder is okay - I've been giving my son that for a

long time now. And my other son gets Citramen II with calcium in it...

We have been really happy with the NOW brand calcium citrate. You

can bake with that. Super cheap but good quality. I just don't like

any carbonate or oxide forms as any side affects are greater with

that and it isn't as absorbable.

I've heard that dolomite (ground cow bones?!) and oyster shell frequently have

lead contamination. Don't recall where I heard/read this. Don't know off hand

of safe supplies.

Hi,<BR>

<BR>

I have three boys who are all lead toxic.  They do not drink milk <BR>

subs consistently, so I have been giving chewable calcium tablets.  I <BR>

have read that some calcium supplemnts contain lead, so I am <BR>

concerned.  Does anyone know a " safe " supplement that does not <BR>

contain lead and is kid friendly?<BR>

<BR>

Thanks,<BR>

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe the calcium is displacing

the lead that was stored in the bones....
