Hey Iz's Mom....caught your post over at Herp Health...about calcium solubility....was gonna share this with ya but didn't wannna ramble as much as I usually do.....but here's a little at home test to determine just how soluble your cal supplement is.
Even tho the majority of us crush our cal. supplements so it doesn't really apply....you gotta do this with WHOLE tabs or chunks, halves...etc. but it gives ya an idea just how rapidly absorbable one calcium tab has over another.....

Take your calcium tab, chunk
place it in 6 oz. vinegar
stir occasionally

If high quality with good absorbable properties...it should dissolve in one-half hour!

Just thought it may be something worth looking into...
Ya never know!
