Calcium orotate vs Calcium aspartate

[Sebastian]

I will have to give up dairy products due to some unpleasant reaction. Therefore, I am looking for a calcium supplement. After doing some web research, I found out that the best forms of calcium are Calcium orotate and Calcium aspartate. I would like to know your opinion on them. What are their pros and cons? Which one would you suggest me?

I am a 25 years old male who eats healthy and exercises vigorously.

thank you,

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian

Both are very good. We have a lot of clinical experience using Calcium Orotate and that is the one that we would recommend.

Both are organic forms of calcium with calcium orotate having an absorption rate of around 90-95% and calcium aspartate around 85%.

Could you give me the name of a good or several good calcium orotate and/or aspartate brands? They are impossible to find in stores, so I will try to look for them on the internet.

Also, do you know this brand? http://www.elixirindustry.com/ezorb/ They're saying they are one of the best calcium products around and I fear it might be a scam.


thank you,

Hi Sebastian

We have no clinical experience with the specific brand of calcium that you ask about. In our clinical experience we have found Calcium Orotate to be the most absorbable and useable form of calcium.

The one that we recommend is at:

Do you know if there are any side effects to this Calcium product?

Do you know how much elemental calcium each tablet (or serving size, meaning 3 tablets) has?

Hi

In clinical experience we have not seen any side effects. Three tablets provides 1.5 grams of calcium.
