What type of calcium is the best to take?
Do not use an antacid as your source of calcium. Also try to avoid using calcium carbonate or bone meal. Look for calcium supplements that contain 1, 000 mg of calcium, it should also contain 500 mg of magnesium. Calcium work synergistically with magnesium and vitamin D; and when combined together increase the absorption of the calcium. Calcium citrate and calcium gluconate are the best sources of calcium to use particularly if they are chelated. Always take your supplement with a meal, never on an empty stomach. Don?t for get that you can also get calcium from foods such as cottage cheese, yogurt, cheese, milk and a variety of veggies.
