Can anyone recommend a calcium supplement? I just noticed my current supplement includes only calcium & D. From what I've read you really should have other vitamins and/or minerals in a supplement.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

I’m taking calcium supplement (again) because I now officially have osteoporosis. But in past I’ve had probs with bumps forming on my wrist. I’m told this is cuz I’m taking calcium supplement. One is quite large and deformed. So—- what can I do to avoid this problem?

I won’t take a bunch of calcium you better do some research, you would be better off off taking a High Dose of D3 with K , magnesium 200-400mg and zinc all be for bed you can’t over does on vitamin D could go on high dose and when symptoms are better take your Vitamin D down some.All these work together To help calcium be absorbed . To much calcium in pill form can cause other problems, kidney stones etc.
