What do you think is the best calcium supplement on the market - preferably one that's not SO big and difficult to swallow.

I have a few suppliments that i have been more than happy with. Dont know if i am allowed to list them on here or put a link but i will give it a try. One that i had been usuing for years is the okinawa japan coral calcium, highly reccomended. I have started with a new product AlgaeCal. So far it is awesome results have been great, but it hasnt been all that long that i have been using it.

Hi Franci1, what made you decide to try AlgaeCal? Also, what do mean by "awesome results"? Does it give you more energy?...obviously too early to tell if it helps bone density.
thanks
thanks

Franc1...
Thank you so much for the information. Sounds like I can narrow my 5 or 6 bottles down to 2.

Hi Hacamila: I can't tell you what brand name or type of calcium to take, but the best explanation I've read about this is at the following Mayo Clinic link.
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/calcium-supplements/AN00964
If you have trouble with large pills you can always try liquid calcium or chewable, both of which dissolve faster in your system. In the article it explains that the most important consideration is how much "elemental calcium" the supplement has, and how to calculate that figure. The type to consider depends on how your system absorbs calcium, so you would have to determine that by comparing all the different types i.e. carbonate, citrate, etc. and how they work in your intestines.
