Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 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. nayy susie > Hi, > > I have three boys who are all lead toxic.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 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. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 I was wondering the same thing. Maybe the calcium is displacing the lead that was stored in the bones....
