		Although calcium stone formers have been advised to restrict calcium intake in the past, a cross-sectional study of 282 patients with calcium oxalate stones found that dietary salt, as measured by urinary sodium excretion, was the dietary factor most strongly associated with urinary calcium excretion (23).
		Until the relationship between calcium and prostate cancer is clarified, it is reasonable for men to consume a total of 1,000 to 1,200 mg/day of calcium (diet and supplements combined), which is the adequate intake level recommended by the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine (3).
		These studies were not designed to examine the effect of calcium on obesity or body fat, and their significance was unclear until recent studies in cell culture and animal models indicated that low calcium intakes could result in hormonal and metabolic changes that increase the tendency of fat cells to accumulate fat (46).

	Calcium Carbonate
		Calcium carbonate has a number of applications besides its natural ones, including as an antacid, lime for farm fertilization, a construction material (marble or cement, for instance), and a base for many pharmaceuticals.
		Chalk is composed of either calcium carbonate or of gypsum, a form of calcium carbonate found naturally in caves.
		Most caves are calcium carbonate formations, created when water dripped through limestone cracks, dissolving the stone to form weak carbonic acid from the carbonate.

		Calcium is essential for many body functions, including regulation of the heartbeat, conduction of nerve impulses, stimulation of hormone secretions and clotting of blood, as well as for building and maintaining a healthy skeleton.
		Calcium is a mineral found in many foods and adequate calcium intake is important because the human body cannot produce calcium.
		Calcium, whether from the diet or supplements, is absorbed best by the body when it is taken several times a day in amounts of 500 mg or less, but taking it all at once is better than not taking it at all.

	calcium
		Calcium carbonate is the most efficient source of calcium and is the least expensive.
		The urine calcium, however, does increase more with calcium citrate, which had led some investigators to think that more calcium was absorbed (Heaney, R. In the only large, randomized, controlled trial comparing calcium carbonate and calcium citrate-maleate the urine calcium was greater in the citrate-malate group.
		Calcium citrate has been shown to be more easily absorbed in patients with acholorhidria when fasting, although if taken with citrus-containing breakfast, calcium carbonate was well absorbed.

	Calcium carbonate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Calcium carbonate is widely used as an extender in paints, in particular matte emulsion paint where typically 30% by weight of the paint is either chalk or marble.
		Fine ground calcium carbonate is an essential ingredient in the microporous film used in babies nappies and some building films as the pores are nucleated around the calcium carbonate particles during the manufacture of the film by biaxial stretching.
		Calcium carbonate is known as whiting in ceramics/glazing applications, where it is used as a common ingredient for many glazes in its white powdered form.

	calcium carbonate - Womens Health and Medical Information on MedicineNet.com
		Calcium is an important structural component of bone and teeth and also is necessary for the normal function of all muscles (skeletal, heart, and smooth muscles) and nerves as well as the normal clotting of blood.
		Calcium carbonate-containing products reduce acidity in the stomach, though there may be a rebound phenomenon which causes a greater than normal amount of acid to be produced after the initial acid-reducing effects of the calcium wear off.
		However, excessive intake or absorption of calcium may lead to increased levels of calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia) which may cause nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, abdominal pain, dry mouth and thirst.

	CARE ABOUT YOUR CALCIUM
		Calcium is continually deposited into multiplying bone cells, like the cement that holds together the particles of stone and sand in a chunk of concrete.
		When calcium levels fall, this hormone stimulates vitamin D to increase absorption of calcium from the intestines and to release calcium from the bone bank until a proper balance is restored.
		Calcium carbonate, on the other hand, is 40 percent elemental calcium; 500 milligrams of calcium carbonate would provide 200 milligrams of useable calcium.

	The Calcium Information Resource
		The recommended calcium intake for adults is 1,000 to 1,300 milligrams daily, depending upon age, gender and personal circumstances (for example, a woman who is pregnant, breastfeeding or dieting might require more dietary calcium).
		Even in the case of prenatal vitamins for pregnant women, the calcium content is typically 200-250mg and that won’t be enough to meet the daily demands during pregnancy for her and her growing baby.
		Calcium carbonate has been found to be safe and has been used to supplement daily calcium intake in men and women of all ages up to 2,000 mg per day.

	CALCIUM CARBONATE
		Calcium carbonate is probably the most common type of scale found in cooling water systems; it forms an extremely tenacious heat insulating deposit.
		It is logical that the deposition of calcium carbonate is found along heat transfer surfaces where cooling water is subjected to the highest temperatures.
		Due to problems associated with calcium carbonate scale formation, it is important that the cooling water control parameters be such that the potential for CaCO3 formation is minimized.

	Dietary Supplement Fact Sheet: Calcium
		Calcium is needed for muscle contraction, blood vessel contraction and expansion, the secretion of hormones and enzymes, and sending messages through the nervous system [2].
		Supplementation with calcium carbonate is reported to lead to reduced risk of adenomas (nonmalignant tumors) in the colon, a precursor to colon cancer, but it is not known if this will ultimately translate into reduced cancer risk [42].
		Calcium citrate malate is a form of calcium used in the fortification of certain juices and is also well absorbed [116].

	Calcium Citrate vs. Calcium Carbonate
		As I wrote in that column, calcium citrate is better absorbed than calcium carbonate but much more expensive.
		In the article you sent me from the November, 1999 issue of The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Howard J. Heller, MD and his colleagues compared the calcium absorption of Citracal (a calcium citrate formulation) and Os-Cal (a calcium carbonate one) after a single oral dose (500 mg calcium), taken with a meal.
		By measuring blood levels of calcium, they demonstrated that calcium citrate is 2.5 times more bioavailable (easier for your body to use) than calcium carbonate.
