Supplements Of Calcium:

The recommended amount is easily obtained from a balanced diet.  Factors that may increase the need for calcium are smoking, high protein diet, pregnancy and lactation.  Calcium citrate is thought to be the most beneficial form of supplement, with fewer risks of toxicity.   Avoid multi-mineral supplements that include Iron because it cancels Calcium.
