What to look for

✓Calcium carbonate is what the pivotal trial used and is the cheapest per unit of elemental calcium — take it with food, since it needs stomach acid. Calcium citrate if you are on a proton-pump inhibitor or have low stomach acid. Split into 500–600 mg doses; absorption saturates above that.

✓Third-party tested (USP, NSF, Informed Sport)
