    [quote author=Apophis924 link=board=General;num=1034622537;start=0#6 date=11/03/03 at 15:17:10]Calicum IS Calcium a metal with an atomic number of 20 One of the Alkaline Earth metals. Its bio avaialblity is dependant upon it's form not how that form is produced. Hence Coral Calcium is just Calcium carbonate , the same as oyster shell calicum carbonate, reagent grade calcium carbonate or calicum carbonate from the skeletons of land animals. With so many more economical and biologoical superior forms of calcium carbonate available it makes no sense to use the skeltons of corals meet the nutritional calcium requirements of humans or any other land animal.[/quote]
