Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Should I take calcium with vitamin D3 and K2?
A: Yes — calcium works best when combined with vitamin D3 (which enhances absorption) and K2 (which directs calcium to bones rather than arteries). Consider a comprehensive bone health stack.
Q: Why use calcium malate instead of calcium carbonate?
A: Calcium carbonate requires adequate stomach acid for absorption and is poorly absorbed in those with low acid. Calcium malate is absorbed effectively regardless of stomach acid levels.
Q: Can I take too much calcium?
A: Excess calcium from supplements (not food) is associated with cardiovascular risk in some populations. Stay within recommended intakes and consult your practitioner for personalized dosing.
