 Most calcium supplements are made from dairy based products.  There are only

Ok, I have the label of the Calcium  I took it contains: Calcium Carbonate,
Maltodextrin, <less than 2% of Cellulose, Croscarmellose Sodium,
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Magnesium Sterate, Polyethylene Glycol 3350,
Crospovidione,Steric Acid

Can anyone tell me if these is dairy oriented?  I thought that's why I took a
supplement.  I read the label before purchasing and didn't catch any dairy
ingredients  I thought.  I read labels for my highly allergic older son all
the time.

Thanks
