Best Calcium Supplement?

Good morning, I would like to switch from calcium carbonate to calcium citrate. I’ve read that citrate is easier to absorb and digest as well. May I ask, what brand and amount of calcium citrate are you taking? How long have you been taking it.? Does it seem to be working for you? I have osteoporosis of the spine. Thanks you for your thoughts.

I use Citracal Petites (200mg each). I was taking only 2 a day (400 mg.) plus I get 300 mg in a multi but my nutritionist says that I'm probably not absorbing much calcium in a multi. And I drink fortified almond or soy milk. And since I love cheese I thought I had all my bases covered in calcium. But consuming so much cheese really makes my arthritis so much worse (all dairy does that to me) so I'm back to having no dairy and now I've increased my Citracal to 3 tablets a day.
