What is best brand and most absorbable form of calcium?

[Guest guest]

And how much should I give a 34 pound child?

I give my 4yo Tropical Oasis calcium/magnesium/D liquid in orange flavor.

This and Yummi Bears kind are the only ones that he will take. The liquid

needs to be refrigerated otherwise it has a chalky aftertaste, and my son

won't take it (we literally tried about 20 brands). Sometimes I use an adult

form of cal/mag/D and sprinkle out the powder into other powders that he

takes.

Calcium citrate or chelated form is best absorbed. Avoid carbonate - I read

that it can be constipating.

HTH!

Vital Nutrients probably has the least lead content and may be worth

considering if dosing regularly.

Does calcium have lead? My boys are off the charts in lead.

Calcium and lead are both elements of the approx 100 that make up all matter.

Calcium is also a metal in elemental form but bound with other elements it is a

vital, essential element in all living tissues. Mercury is also a metal, but of

higher weight and with far different properties. It is NOT an essential or

desirable material free or bound, but a toxin that is deadly to all living

tissues... its toxic properties are largely due to the fact that it interferes

with the role of calcium and other metal ions that are required in complex

metabolic functions. It pusheds calcium off its post and sticks in its place,

but jams up the works.
