Document Summary

One of the major components of coral reef is calcium carbonate. Test to make on carbonate rocks: drop some acid on the rock, and you will see immediately an evolution of carbon dioxide. It is better to take calcium products with meals because the acid secreted in the stomach enhances absorption. They may interfere with calcium absorption through induction of hypochlorhydria (low. Hcl production in the stomach) but they also may reduce bone resorption by inhibiting the osteo(cid:272)lasti(cid:272) pro(cid:272)ess. (cid:858)(cid:859)may(cid:859)(cid:859): it depe(cid:374)ds o(cid:374) the i(cid:374)dividual sometimes it is good, sometime it is not. The calcium content in milk is the same for all milk types. A recent analysis of a number of studies (a meta analysis) showed that calcium supplementation may increase the risk for his fracture by up to 60% Reason: the supplements that are calcium citrate or calcium carbonate interfere with phosphate absorption recall that all ca, po4, oh are what connect to make bonne and teeth.
