I'm not a vitamin salesman, and I don't play one on tv - just a normal

person. But, the calcium issue is just not that confusing! Calcium citrate

contains 25-29% of elemental calcium. So, for every 100 mg of calcium

citrate you take, you are getting 25 - 20 mg of elemental calcium. In a 500

mg capsule that would be 125 mg of elemental calcium. In a 1000 mg dose (two

capsules), that would be 250 mg.

with the elemental calcium powder and stop doing math!)

Yes, I think he's right, too, and that's because my brother-in-law is a food

scientist, and he said the exact same thing as Ray. However, I use the

Nature's Science calcium, and I will continue to use it because it's the only

calcium pill I've found that I can swallow. What good is a super-charged

pill if you can't get it down? So, I will just up my dosage...no prob.
