Chris,
 
Water soluble 100% chelated calcium compounds are non-phytotoxic when used as directed.  They are immediately available to the leaf and is readily absorbed by the root system by way of the leaf stomata.

Anyone speak to why the chelated form (I looked up chelated:   
  1. Chemistry. To combine (a metal ion) with a chemical compound to form a ring.
)
 
is superior?
