I am currently taking Atkins Basic #3 and Atkins Essential Oils, as well as Coral Calcium. The coral calcium was recommended to me and since I was looking for a good calcium supplement, I thought I would try it. However, this morning I heard that the claims being made by those who promote coral calcium are largely false. Now, I am not taking this supplement to cure cancer. I just need a good calcium supplement. Will this due for that? Is this a fairly good source of calcium or should I trash these and try another type? If so, does anyone have a recommendation on the best type of calcium supplement to use?

I have read that calcium can aid in weight loss, so naturally this is a consideration in choosing a supplement.
