The calcium in the slowMag is very small. 200mg or so. Of that only about 20-25% is absorbed. The rest stays in the bowel.

Calcium citrate has the highest absorption rate at about 25%.
All the rest are lower. That is why you see calcium sometimes advertised to reduce colon cancer. (One of the Caltrate products targets this). That is because most of the calcium remains in the bowel. If you are low in Vit D, even more stays there.

I consider the calcium in SlowMag as very subpotent and it can be disregarded.
