What does everyone take for calcium or other supplements?

I have been using these calcium/D3 patches for over a year and my levels are exactly where they're suppose to be. Never too high and never too low, and no more swallowing those gigantic pills! If the link doesn't work just do a Google search for a company named patch MD. They may also be available on Amazon.

Transdermal patches have yet to be thoroughly tested as a means of delivering calcium. The amount of calcium in one patch is 10mg according to the package label. A single calcium tablet, on the other hand, usually contains 300-500 mg of calcium. So you would need 30-50 patches to provide the came calcium as a single pill. Also, blood calcium levels do not reflect bone health.
So if you have been advised to take a calcium supplement because you have osteoporosis, this is not providing what you need. Have you shown the package to your doctor?
