Where Can I Purchase Mcha?

[kyli]

Hi, I'm looking for alternate source of calcium for supplementing a cooked cat food diet - besides Ground eggshell or Animal Essential Calcium seaweed powder- in hopes that my kitten will like the flavor better. Does anyone know where I can purchase MCHA?

I found this Free range pasture-fed whole bone calcium from Traditional Foods Market ,

Free-Range Pasture-Fed Whole Bone Calcium, 8oz

but it's not freeze dried. It's cooked at low temp. Is this okay for kitty digestion?

MCHA is an acronym for Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite. Unfortunately there are products that are MCHA but the label has a shortened name. NOW has an MCHA product that they call calcium Hydroxyapatite:

The product you provided a link would be fine also. I didn't know there was a low temperature processed MCHA product. Freeze drying is usually considered preferable because all nutrients will be preserved but using low temperature should preserve most nutrients if not all. Calcium, being a mineral, will be totally unaffected by heat in any case.
