Best Calcium Supplement?

I hadn't thought of it that way. Thanks.

I looked up Vitality Calcium Complete and in order to purchase you have to become a member. Is there a cost to this? And you have to have someone refer you. What is the process?

Trixie, I started on this but one of cats interrupted & so I will start again!
First of all, I take a daily Ensure Max Protein which is 650 mg of calcium. Also daily I usually take a glass of Minute Maid orange juice which is 350 per cup. I drink milk which is 300 mg per cup &/or Almond milk w. which is about 350 per cup. Also kefir - am looking at the label of my blueberry kefir now & it's 390 per cup.

Per day, I almost always have a glass of orange juice in the am, not a cup, & a glass of milk of some kind around noon. So with the Ensure...... there it's pretty easy I haven't gptten into sardines yet but I do like canned salmon with bones as a salad topping or in as sandwich. Re the milk, I will fairly frequently have more than one glass per day, be it regular milk or almond milk

Two of my "go to" sources for calcium are Fairlife fat-free ultra-filtered lactose-free milk and GreatValue (Walmart) Almondmilk; I'm a fan of the chocolate.

So many teach that we loose the enzymes needed to get the calcium from milk.

I tried Googling that and found nothing to support that theory. Milk is supplemented with vitamin d which increases absorption.

I appears you've got the basics nailed down. As always getting your nutritional needs met is always through foods rather than supplements. Vitamin D is necessary for calcium absorption, so you'll need to keep that in mind. I recently found an article (I posted link on another thread here) which warned about getting too much calcium from supplements as anything over 2000 mg per day can lead to hypercalcimia which causes heart disease. However, getting calcium naturally in foods has the opposite effect. Over 2000 mg from foods can actually reduce the plaque already in your heart's arteries. Here is an article on how to get the calcium you need naturally.

Hi everyone. I recently heard an interview about calcium with Margaret Martin and a supplement researcher and founder of Consumer Lab.
He said something that I had wondered about and suspected to be true. Calcium fortified foods act like supplements in our bodies, and shouldn't be considered the same as natural food sources for calcium. It was a fairly interesting interview.
He speaks about this at around 11:45. https://youtu.be/ehxKfZUDvXQ?si=7oSIalB5ymiTKfVK

I did not see this in the article you referenced but stated in your comment "Over 2000 mg from foods can actually reduce the plaque already in your heart's arteries." Where did you get that information from?

Sorry - I just saw this.
