Can anyone recommend a calcium citrate with vitamin D supplement?

I too will watch for the calcium suggestions; however, I have found a great Vitamin D3.
I gag on the small vit D3 pills. Now taking Nature's Bounty; a small capsule, about the size of a small pea, contains 2500 IU. Very easy to swallow.

I use vitamatic d3 50000 units cholecalciferol once a week because it was a hassle to take at different times for iron supplement.

Walmart sells a calcium citrate plus D3 in their Equate brand that lists 400mg of calcium and 500IU of D3 per every two tablets. Lists no other vitamins but there are other things in the ingredient list. Might check that out and see if it’s what you are looking for.

dreams, I use Citracal Petites plus D3. I contains 2% binders etc but no other vitamins.

I use Walmart's Equate Calcium Citrate + D3 tablets.

Mine list: D 500 IU and calcium 630 mg (2 tablet serving)

Thank you for the images.

I use Swanson Brand Citrate w/ D3. It is a mail order company.

i’ve been told by numerous bone drs that calcium citrate is much more likely to be effective

"A quick note on calcium and calcium absorption from my research. All calcium, regardless of the form, will be broken down into it's ionic or elemental form before being absorbed into the blood stream. Some forms will break down faster and more complete than others, but once broken down, calcium is calcium. Now if you are deficient in a particular vitamin or mineral that is needed for the bone building process, then those minerals can be added to your diet or received from other supplements, it does not have to be taken at the same time as your calcium. That goes for vitamin D as well.

My thoughts on calcium supplementation is take calcium from a well know, very large company that has a lot to lose if they have any contamination or recall. They will ensure top quality. The regulation on supplements is almost nonexistent in the US. I personally take Citracal Petites and sprinkle them in throughout the day with meals as needed based on my diet.

For reference, attached is a draft slide showing the absorption process of calcium from the intestines into the blood stream. Also attached is a draft slide showing a study for the absorption of different types of calcium. The key takeaway from my research is all forms of calcium are pretty much the same as long as you take it with a meal.

This chemist refuses to get OCD about supplements and will stay with taking calcium carbonate.
