Calcium orotate is a very good, alkaline calcium. I havent been able to find it much, and it was very expensive when I did. As an example, ordering it in bulk from a pharmaceutical supply, 100 grams of calcium citrate costs $6.25; 100 grams of calcium orotate costs $66! Where are you getting it, and how much is it? If you are acidic, it is just the thing. Dee said, > Could this be any yoghurt i.e. Commercial, supermarket fruit types or just plain, or would you have to make it yourself? < Any yogurt has calcium lactate in it (generated by the fermentation process that creates yogurt), but commercial yogurt is not nearly as good for you. If you must eat commercial yogurt, make it plain, adding your own flavoring (reduces the 50% sugar). Mashed fruit and/or Stevia would be good. Calcium lactate is a very strong, high-energy calcium (especially in supplement form), and can change your pH fairly quickly. If you were eating, say, a quart per day of yogurt (as an example of a large amount), it would be wise to keep an eye on your pH, to see if it was dropping quickly. Connie said, > Could you advise how or where one could find out their pH? < Call the HF stores around you and tell them you need pH paper that measures in .2 increments. The brand I use here in Canada is made by a company called Greens Plus. I do not know if they sell in the US. If you cannot find it anywhere, I can sell it to you for $20, but it will be cheaper if you can find it at a HF store. I also have an instruction page I can email you explaining how to conduct the testing, with places to write down the daily numbers. If you do the 6-day testing and send the numbers to me, I will tell you what they mean. Along this line of discussion, although your body uses more calcium in volume each day than all other nutrients put together, and giving your body the calcium it needs can bring about significant improvements in your health, the essential need for the trace minerals is paramount. We have all heard how the body uses magnesium with calcium, but, in reality, it uses the trace minerals much, much more. If you have any symptoms of calcium deficiency (although it is almost a given with most people), you need to add a multi-mineral supplement to your life. It should be liquid (to optimize assimilation) and it should have as many minerals as possible (70-80+ minimum). That is why I like Concentrace, which has 100+ minerals, is liquid and is not sold multi-level (which makes it reasonably priced). The relationship in our bodies between calcium and the rest of the minerals is like this: Picture the human body as if it were a brick wall. This wall is made up of bricks, plus the mortar that holds them together. In the case of the body, the bricks represent calciums, and the mortar is all the rest of the minerals that the body uses for life and health. Obviously, without bricks there would be no wall, but equally obvious is that without the mortar, the bricks would not hold together.
