What kinds of calcium tablets are there? Which is better?

The types of calcium tablets can be mainly divided into three calcium sources: calcium carbonate, calcium lactate and calcium ammonium phosphate. Different types of calcium tablets have different health care functions. In addition, different types of calcium tablets are suitable for different people. For example:

1. calcium carbonate: high calcium content, small side effects, low price and high absorption rate, up to 40%. Similar to milk, it is a calcium preparation that is easily accepted and widely used by the people of the whole country.

2. Calcium lactate: It is one of the traditional calcium supplements in China. Its advantage is solubility, but its disadvantage is low calcium content. These preparations are: calcium lactate, containing calcium13%; Calcium gluconate contains 9% calcium, and the content is lower after being made into tablets. It is unacceptable for people to take too many tablets every day to supplement calcium for adults 1000 mg.

3. Calcium ammonium phosphate: It is a commonly used calcium supplement variety in Japan, with a relatively high calcium content of 23.3%. China Chengdu Pharmaceutical Factory also produces it, and each tablet contains 70 mg of calcium, which is moderate for the drug price. However, its disadvantage is that tablets are difficult to disintegrate and absorb, and because of high phosphorus content, it is harmful to renal insufficiency, so it is rarely used.
