I couldn't agree more with stellar2023. I was doing the same thing, but recently found out I have an immune response to casein, the protein in dairy. So, I had to start supplementing to get adequate calcium. I take 500mg hydroxyapatite in divided doses, and citrate 500mg in divided doses. I have found that elemental citrate in powder form is much better absorbed than tablets and you can really control how much you take...and, it's cheap. I also take vitamin d, K2, and magnesium. I eat lots of protein, get as much exercise as possible and hope for the best!

You are correct as I know it with respect to tablets vs powdered form of any supplements since the tablets often do not dissolve fully if at all.
Still, the very best way to get our nutrients is with whole foods as nature intended. I am never afraid to eat lots of a fresh fruit or veggie when they are in season. Sometimes though that gives me quite an active elimination system. So it is all about balance. Just like everything in life really. ;o)
