Absorption of your calcium supplement is crucial for getting enough calcium into your body for it to work. Anything you eat has to be digested in order to be absorbed. When we eat food, chewing is the first step in absorption because it breaks food into smaller bits, saturates it with saliva which moistens it, and begins the digestion process. You can't chew your calcium supplements (YUCK!) unless they are labeled as "chewable" (DOUBLE YUCK!), so how do we best absorb our calcium?
