Calcium carbonate is an ionic salt, formed from the cationic calcium (II) and the anionic carbonate ion CO32-. It is found naturally in limestone and in seashells.
vCalcium carbonate reacts with acids, releasing carbon dioxide:

vCalcium carbonate will react with water that is saturated with carbon dioxide to form the soluble calcium bicarbonate.CaCO3 + CO2 + H2O → Ca(HCO3)2
This reaction is important in the erosion of carbonate rocks, forming caverns, and leads to hard water in many regions.
Water with a large amount of dissolved calcium is hard water.

alcium (pronounced /ˈkælsiəm/, KAL-see-əm) is the chemical element with the symbol Ca and atomic number 20. It has an Atomic Mass of 40.078 amu. Calcium is a soft gray alkaline earth metal, and is the fifth most abundant element by mass in the Earth's crust. Calcium is also the fifth most abundant dissolved ion in seawater by both molarity and mass, after sodium, chloride, magnesium, and sulfate.[1]
Calcium is essential for living organisms, particularly in cell physiology, where movement of the calcium ion Ca2+ into and out of thecytoplasm functions as a signal for many cellular processes. As a major material used in mineralization of bones and shells, calcium is the most abundant metal by mass in many animals.-from wikipedia

Calcium carbonate (Caltrate) should be taken with meals since it requires stomach acid to dissolve and absorb.

Calcium citrate (Citracal) can be absorbed on an empty stomach and is not as dependent on stomach acid for absorption. However, it has less calcium per pill (20%), so you have to take more pills.
