The calcium tablets I have are Nature Made which has calcium carbonate. Do you need to take with food to get it to absorb?

I only take calcium citrate which absorbs better with or without food.
Maybe someone knows about carbonate...0 -
Yes, calcium carbonate absorbs best with food. You can take calcium citrate without regards to meals.0

I'm not sure about the absorption, but if I don't take them with food or shortly after eating, I feel mildly icky.0
