In reply to Calcium Citrate Malate, posted by KaraS on November 20, 2004, at 16:21:40
I'm not sure about calcium citrate malate, but what I have read about calcium citrate is that it is quite absorbable and maybe a particularly good choice for the eldery since elderly persons often have low levels of hydrochloric acid in their stomachs and calcium citrate requires little hydrochloric acid for absorption.
What I also have read is that of all the forms of calcium, calcium carbonate contains the greatest amount of elemental calcium (40 percent).
