Yes, I agree there are thousands of variations of calcuim supplements, each with it's own recipe of additional ingredients.
Also, there are a variety of different resources from which calcium can be found, but in the end, pure, unrefined calcium carbonate (CaCO3) = calcium carbonate. There can be no difference. If you alter it's chemical makeup, it is no longer calcium carbonate, it's something else.
Now how you access calcium is a different story, via cuttlebone, egg shells, supplements, etc, but at that point you are no longer talking about pure calcium carbonate. Calcium may be IN it, and people may refer to it as calcium, but it is really something else.
