Calcium is calcium, obviously.  It is a chemical element.  It doesn't come
in different varieties.  I will buy that it occurs in different compounds in
different cases, and that can affect their absorption, and possibly other
properties.  As to finding a peer-reviewed medical journal to back it up,
I'm as doubtful as you are.
