                Calcium carbonate is a dietary supplement used when the amount of calcium taken in the diet is not enough. Calcium is needed by the body for healthy bones, muscles, nervous system, and heart. Calcium carbonate also is used as an antacid to relieve heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach.

             Supplements with calcium carbonate contain twice as much elemental calcium by weight as do supplements containing calcium citrate, so there are fewer pills to take. Calcium carbonate supplements are generally the least expensive and the most commonly used.

             The absorption of this type of calcium depends on the pH level in your stomach. Your body constantly breaks down and rebuilds itself requiring a continual intake of minerals such as calcium. This includes your bones and teeth which contain most of the calcium in your body.
