A member asked:

Coral calcium or ccm tablets which is the best?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. G. Wen answered

Carbonate vs citrate: Coral cal is mostly calcium carbonate, but ccm calcium is mostly calcium citrate/malate. Calcium carbonate is less expensive and it can be also used for acidic heart burn. Calcium citrate adsorbs faster and easier, it doesn't cause constipation as likely as carbonate does.
