“…CC provides one of the highest concentrations of elemental calcium (35-40%) and better absorption in the normal or acidic pH of the stomach (4). However, poor solubility in water and requirement of extra stomach acid production for absorption has been reported (5). Bioavailability in humans has been measured as high as 40% but low solubility and inconsistent absorption rate listed CC as one of the least bioavailable forms of calcium (as low as 15%) (6).…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
