Calcium Carbonate Oral Susp * Shortage & API Products

Hello,
We're running into some weird shortages lately. We have not been able to obtain CaCarbonate oral solution. Looks like if we may have to consider using API powder which I'm trying to avoid.

Does anyone have a CaCarbonate recipe they're willing to share. Concerned about the recipes we found not being concentrated enough compared to our current product.

Thanks!
