The reason is that the calcium is looking for somethig to bond to. When you add both at the same time, the calcium ion instantly bonds to the buffer, and precipitate like snow. To prevent this in the future, add the calcium 1st, or well after the buffer. This is the reason there are two bottles. Once the calcium is bonded, it is not longer bio-available.

Wanna have some fun, put a cap full of the buffer is a clear glass, then pour in the calcium. Swirl a bit.........
