I've ignored calcium. Per my inner cell testing of many nutrients (Spectro Cell), calcium is the only one I'm low in.

This surprises me, since it was not low in regular labs done with physicals in my past history. I wonder what regular labs will report my calcium at.

I have taken 400mg of Magnessium Glycinate the last 8 years, it might be off setting my cal levels. I quit drinking milk 8 years ago too.

**So, are all calcium supplements the same (unlike magnesium supplements)?**

**How long does calcium stay in you after supplementing? (for before and after testing purposes)?**

If the cheap stuff works just as good, thats what I'll use.

No, all calcium is not equal.

I take one that has a mix of two or three different types.

Don't buy a cheap one...I remember years ago reading about the cheap ones having aluminum in them.
(Don't rely on Tums for your calcium for that reason)

OK,

Could someone give me a quick course on the preferred types of calcium.

(Magnesium is easy, if it ends in "ate" its good, anything else just has a laxative effect. Yet, many are unaware).

I no nothing about calcium (unaware).

All forms of calcium are not created equal. Blood calcium levels really aren't a very good measure. The problem docs are seeing now is that excess calcium ends up as plaque in your arteries so they are really pushing for getting all your calcium from food. Doesn't really help if you can't have dairy.

Or if you are like me and have really low bone density.

I would trust your spectro cell testing.

Buhner's newest book suggests Country Life brand Calcium/Magnesium/Potassium with 500/500/99mg. I don't know if that's best but it is the first I have seen that has a real mix.

It's important to get D3 as well but you probably already know that.

It should be easy to get a list of foods high in calcium just by searching the web.

why not try goat milk? it's not as inflammatory as cow's, a good source of protein, calcium and antifungal compounds (capric/caprylic acid). capra means goat in latin, so thats where these antifungals were first found....
