Which calcium supplement should I take?

Asked by Female, 45 ยท 2 months ago

Before taking any supplement, you should aim to get your 700mg of daily calcium from foods like dairy or fortified plant-based drinks. If you do need a supplement, calcium carbonate is the most common and affordable option, but it must be taken with a meal for better absorption. Calcium citrate is well absorbed with or without food, making it a good choice if you have low stomach acid or take antacid medication. Please discuss the dose with your doctor to avoid over-supplementation.
