Best to get your calcium from foods if you can.

@gretchen1018 totally agree. But since i can’t eat dairy nor high fiber foods , I rely on supplements to fill my needs.

My doc recommends D3+K2 together. Vitamin D3 helps our bodies absorb calcium, while vitamin K2 directs calcium to our bones instead of joints and arteries, where too much calcium could be problematic. (Cardiac.)

Calcium from foods is great but the quality of the foods is also important. There are calcium supplements like Calcium Carbonate but learn what it’s made from and how too much can cause hypercalcimia.
I’ve turned to foods high in calcium, Ultra K2, Vit. D3 + K2-7, 2 bone builders from a company called Ancestral Supplements - Bone and Marrow and Living Bone - use ankle weights for more load bearing exercises.
Best to you!
