I've also read that the carbonate form doesn't get absorbed as well. I was just wondering if there were any special reason for combining citrate with malate as this brand below seems to suggest. I doubt it but I'm having a hard time finding calcium in a capsule that is in citrate form and isn't really expensive. I came across this particular brand but hadn't heard of it before. I think I'll probably just order calcium citrate powder. I haven't wanted to deal with the uncapsuled powder but it's probably the wisest way to go here.

Thanks for your help.
