Why we pay more for this form: Calcium carbonate (the cheap stuff) needs stomach acid to work. Lots of people don't make enough stomach acid.²⁵ Plus, calcium carbonate can cause gas and bloating²⁵ when it reacts with your stomach acid, tastes chalky and gritty, and can contribute to kidney stones if you use too much.²⁵
Our form absorbs more easily, gives you phosphorus too, and doesn't taste like chalk. No tummy troubles.²⁵
