Calcium supplements can be problematic for some people, potentially causing kidney problems and artery calcification. Best to increase dietary calcium intake instead and take vitamin D3. I also take vitamin K2 which directs calcium to bones and directs calcium out of arteries. Vitamin D is best split into two doses a day to aid absorption, and taken with a meal that includes oil or fat as it is fat soluble. I take two 1000 IU vitamin D3 every day and a K2 (180mg) every second day.
