28. Many different forms on the market Various forms of calcium not only have different absorption rates, but they also contain different amounts of actual calcium Calcium

30. This process is called chelation, which is the attachment of an amino acid to the mineral, making it usable by the body. The best way to get minerals is from whole foods that have been dried with a low temperature so none of the nutrition or enzymes are destroyed.

31. Calcium citrate: only 21% calcium. In 1000 mg of calcium citrate, you are only getting 210 mg of calcium. In addition, less than 30% of the 210mg of calcium is actually absorbed at the cellular level for use by the body. Examples:

32. In other words, of the 210 mg of calcium contained, your body may only receive 60 to 70 mg. There’s a huge difference! So don’t be fooled by the “label milligram” game.
