Or other dairy, such as yogurt or cheese.
Our bodies do not retain the nutrients from artificial supplements as efficiently as those provided by mother nature.
You should also speak to your doctor about your concerns on your next visit. Especially if you are a woman. You need your calcium to help against osteoporosis…I’m sure you are aware.

Try eating cheese, soymilk, calcium fortified orange juice, yogurt. … You need to get some calcium in your diet. Take a multivitamin, but always remember that it is better to get your vitamins and minerals from food.

Yes you should, maybe you can take a
multivitamin with calcium and that way
you don’t have to take both.

You need calcium in your diet for your bones and teeth. As we get older our bones become more thinner. They loose their density and when a bone breaks it is harder to heal. I know this because my mom did not drink a lot of milk and now she has thinning bones. Take a calcium supplement with your meals and then you will not need to worry about thinning bones as you get older.

do you eat cheese, yogurt or another form of dairy? If you take a calcium supplement i recommend Viactive because calcium is hard for your body to break down and you can only digest 500mg at a time. with viactive you chew it(it tastes yummy) so the digestion part starts in your mouth rather than in your stomach. plus you need vitamin D to help process the calcuim and the viactive chews contain what you need to break down and process the calcium. if you are a woman start taking calcuim even if you do drink milk!
