Maximum Plus D3

The smarter calcium at Walmart. Calcium citrate absorbs without stomach acid (carbonate can't). Critical difference for anyone over 50. Still no K2 to direct calcium to bones. Add K2 separately. Split the dose since 630mg exceeds single-dose absorption max.

7.0/10
VERY GOOD

Calcium CITRATE, not carbonate. Absorbs without stomach acid. Better choice for 50+ women than Caltrate. Still no K2 though, and 630mg per dose exceeds the 500mg absorption max.
