When choosing a Calcium Supplement, you must look at it's Bio-availability.

So these are the 2 most Bio-available out of all the Calcium Supplements.

Calcium Orotate ~ The most Effective Form of Calcium, created through the use of Mineral Salts of Orotic Acid.


Calcium Citrate Malate ~ A Water Soluble form of Calcium ~ It's created by mixing Calcium Salt found in Citric Acid with Malic Acid.


The 2 forms that I listed are by far the Best Forms of Calcium.
Meaning that the Body can Absorb them more readily that any other Form of Calcium.......................... JP

All of the calcium forms you listed are highly absorbable EXCEPT calcium carbonate. That being said, calcium carbonate is the cheapest of all of them so you could just take more of it.

To increase the absorption of calcium, you want to take it with magnesium and vitamin D. That's why you often see cal/mag/vit D supplements sold.

^^^This is a much better idea than starting to add dairy to your diet.

Greens are definitely a better alterantive to dairy products, so I completely second that suggestion.
