Angie, I have no idea if the below is accurate, but
I've read that taking Tums for calcium is a waste of
time. Why? Because calcium needs a slightly acidic
environment to be absorbed, and an antacid supplies
the opposite environment. My source is
www.drpinkus.com, under the CalMax section. It may
just be a marketing ploy for Calmax, but I've found
CalMax is a great muscle relaxer (the magnesium) so I
use it as my calcium supplement. Kristi
