Sounds like a promo to me. "A Living" calcium supplement? How might that be described? A living thing has the ability to reproduce itself. A living thing has nutritional needs. Whether it is a bacterium or a fish or an elephant or a person. I do not think something that comes in a bottle as a supplement fits this description.
Calcium citrate is a good form of calcium and combined with Vitamin D3 and magnesium serves as a useful form of supplementation. You can easily find it in the stores. No need for internet hype.

there is so much out there for us consumers with regards to osteoporosis... it is mind boggling at times .. you hear a lot of good about MCHA being more bioavailable but it is confusing too????

Alli, what does bioavailable mean?

I have taken this type of calcium for three years, recommended by an alternative clinician. My last test results were worse than the ones three years ago so I don't know if the calcium is the answer. I never heard anything about it being "living" but it was supposed to be more easily digestible. I have an appointment with an endocrinologist in August. Hoping she will have some good recommendations.

meaning more digestable and more absorbable
