Has your doctor suggested dosing for Calcium and Vitamin D during ADT?

May I add that in my case, I take 1500 mg of calcium carbonate (500 mg at a time, 3x a day, with food). I read in this forum that calcium citrate is better, can be taken with or without food, but I didn't find it nor knew about it over 5 months ago.

Calcium citrate could be taken with or without food. It also has fewer conflicts with other drugs.
I have a pharmacist call me every six months to discuss the pills I’m taking. The first time she called, she told me stop taking Calcium carbonate and start taking calcium citrate.
Costco sells it and it comes with D3 and magnesium two things worth having.
