A member asked:
What is the difference between calcium and calcium acetate pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The calcium in all calcium pills is the same. Because calcium has a positive electric charge it had to be attached to something with a negative charge such as acetate, carbonate, malate, lactate, and others.
