Citrical
 
Other  calcium supplements recommended were Viactive and Rainbow  
(available at health food stores)
 
Some additional responses included the following...
Freeda Vitamins calcium citrate.. (use web) they are the  
purest I  have found...it comes in fine granular form, loose in a  
jar ...no  capsules...the only one I could find that passed the GF test.
I separately  take Vit D (not too much) the same way...I open a  
granulated capsule  and add it to the granulated Freeda Calcium citrate
Freeda is gluten  free...
 
     
I do not take Citrical,  but would like to share some  information about 
calcium with you.  The type of calcium found in the  product you mentioned is 
citrate and carbonate.  They are nowhere  near the most absorbent forms of 
calcium.  The best is calcium  orotate. My Dr wanted me on a prescription 
bone builder that I refused,  due to possible side effects.  I researched 
calcium extensively, and  started taking the orotate version along with D3 and 
magnesium at night  before bed.  Within one year I went from full blown 
osteoporosis,  through osteopenia to a low normal reading.  My Dr was shocked.   I 
now recommend it to anyone needing a calcium supplement.  I use the  brand 
Advanced Research by Dr Hans Nieper, Calcium Orotate 1.5g.  He  was a 
brilliant German Dr. who believed all disease was caused by and  could be cured by 
nutrition.  I order from LuckyVitamin.com and found  they have the best 
price.  It is a bit more expensive than the  citrate or carbonate forms, but it 
is the best.  The pills are  smaller and start to dissolve on the tongue, 
which is quite different from  most calcium supplements.  They are gluten 
free too.
