I am still craving them right now. Anyways I was wondering if anyone knew how much calcium there is bone or bone broth, to get a better idea of how much I am consuming.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/23897/anyone-know-how-much-calcium-is-in-bone-broth-or-actual-bone/23899#23899 Answer by PortlandAllan for Anyone know how much calcium is in bone broth or actual bone?

Geophagy and pica are usually indicative of a pathological condition.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/23897/anyone-know-how-much-calcium-is-in-bone-broth-or-actual-bone/23902#23902 Answer by Helen for Anyone know how much calcium is in bone broth or actual bone?

At any rate, I would think that you can trust your body on this, but make sure you chew them very well. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/23897/anyone-know-how-much-calcium-is-in-bone-broth-or-actual-bone/155012#155012 Answer by Cal for Anyone know how much calcium is in bone broth or actual bone?

Calcium, in it's ionized form, is actually a stimulus for stomach acid because the proton pumps are calcium-gated. The proton pumps have a receptor that ionized calcium (Ca++) sits on, causing the proton pumps to secrete positively charged hydrogen ions, ie, acid (H+). That is the irony of taking calcium based antacids.</p>
