Whenwith meals

Calcium carbonate specifically requires stomach acid from meals to absorb.

Foodwith food

Calcium carbonate needs stomach acid. Must take with food.

SafetyAll clear
ResearchStrong evidence

Centrum has been in clinical trials. But absorption of individual forms is well-documented as poor.

What We Like

  • Affordable and available everywhere.
  • Good vitamin D3 dose at 1000 IU.
  • Calcium included for bone health (important for 50+ women).

Watch Out For

  • Magnesium oxide absorbs at ~4%. 50mg yields maybe 2mg usable magnesium.
  • Synthetic dl-alpha tocopherol vitamin E (worst form).
  • Zinc oxide is poorly absorbed.
  • Cyanocobalamin instead of methylcobalamin.
  • Calcium carbonate is the cheapest, least-absorbed form.
