drsufowler I love my doc but they don't seem to know what level of calcium to take in. Most say to get it from food in my experience. The docs may not know what to recommend due to individual variation, lack of studies, or they just repeat the standard 1200mg for post-menopause. I had good gains with 800mg total calcium daily (in my case supplements only), 3000 untis D3 and 45mcg K. Let us know if you get good info!
