no so much,

not dissolve, it is changed in your body to coat and smooth out the stones, vs rough edges (as I mentioned previously) making them easy to pass,,

the truth is , re the calcium in OJ and whatever else, is it is a marketing campaign to get more sales, thinking folks will think it is healthier than it already is,

not really sure how much calcium is absorbed thru OJ,, but I am not a doc, (but I have stayed in a Holiday Inn, just not last night)
