Re: Calcium and Stomach Upset. First of all you need to be taking calcium citrate not calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate will definitely cause you stomach upsets. You also need to be taking magnesium with the calcium. Magnesium helps the body absorb calcium and also helps to prevent the stomach upsets and constipation.
Calcium Citrate. Calcium citrate, another type of calcium supplement, aids in the formation and maintenance of bone. This calcium comes in a pill form and effervescent tablets that dissolve in a glass of water. Effervescent tablets are a better option if you have difficulty swallowing pills. Both forms are available over the counter. Calcium citrate can be taken with or without food because it does not need stomach acids to promote effective absorption. Check the Label. Calcium lactate and calcium gluconate are two options for calcium supplementation. The supplements contain low amounts of elemental calcium combined with other sources such as salt.
