Calcium

I like Solaray Cal-Mag Citrate because of it's 1:1 ratio of magnesium to calcium.  I also use Osteo-Mins AM, a blend of minerals (selenium, copper, boron, etc.) that my ND says are necessary to absorb calcium.   From what I've read, calcium citrate is the form we absorb the best, and exceedingly high doses of calcium are not necessary if you have the right amount of magnesium and other minerals for proper absorption.  So I only take half of the recommended 6 capsules a day because I take so many other supplements, and I feel like I get a good amount of calcium from food.    

I've had osteopenia in the past and will soon have another bone density scan to see if the less calcium/ more minerals strategy is working.      Deanna
